Adoption Application

Start your Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network (CPCRN) adoption journey by completing the Adoption Application below and taking the first step toward welcoming a new best friend into your life.

ATTENTION POTENTIAL ADOPTERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF OUR AGE POLICY:

We have had to implement this age policy due to the large portion of older/disabled (needing a lot of medical attention) dogs returned/newly surrendered to us. Because an owner has either passed away or gone into an assisted living situation and the family is not able/willing to take on the responsibility for the dog, many of our previously adopted dogs are coming back. We have extreme difficulty in finding these dogs a new forever home.

  • If your age is 21 – 67 years old, you are eligible to adopt the following:
    • Puppy, Youngster (1-3), Teenager (4-7), Mature (8-10), or Senior (11+).
  • If your age is 68 – 77 years old, you are eligible to adopt the following:
    • Teenager (4-7), Mature (8-10), or Senior (11+). Your application will NOT be accepted if you select Puppy or Youngster (1-3).
  • If your age is 78 years old or older, you are eligible to adopt the following:
    • Mature (8-10) or Senior (11+). Your application will NOT be accepted if you select Puppy, Youngster (1-3), or Teenager (4-7).

Before hitting submit please note the following:


Your approved application lasts SIX MONTHS and applies to all dogs that are READY for adoption. Approval can take two weeks or more.

Col. Potter is NOT shipping any dogs cargo. If a dog is small enough to fly under the seat in the cabin per the desired airline’s guidelines, the adoptive home may choose this method of transport but they are fully responsible to make all necessary arrangements.
