Foster Home Adoption Application

Policy Agreement

Before filling out the application, please read the Adoption Policies & Procedures.
Adoption Policies & Procedures Acknowledgement
Do you agree to keep the dog licensed, the CP Identification Tag and your personal infomation identification tag on the dog at all times?(Required)
Do you agree to comply with ALL applicable City/Town, County, State and Federal laws as they relate or pertain to the care, treatment and responsibility of dog ownership?(Required)
Do you agree to contact Cairn Rescue if you can no longer keep this dog?(Required)
Do you need to purchase the foster's crate?(Required)
Do you plan on using electric (hidden/underground) fencing as the primary means of containement?(Required)
We do not adopt our Rescue Cairns to anyone with electric fencing as their primary means of containment.
At the time you adopt one of our rescue dogs, you will be asked to make a donation to CPCRN. This donation helps defray shelter fees and other costs paid to procure our Rescues, the cost of transporting them to our foster homes, the costs of providing them with food and appropriate veterinary care, including spay/neuter, immunizations, heartworm testing and prevention, and other medical and/or grooming needs as are required by the particular dogs in our program. As adoption donations do not constitute purchase monies paid for the Rescue, they are not refundable in the event that you decide to return the Rescue or for any other reason.
Are you able and willing to make a Rescue Adoption donation if you adopt a rescue dog through Col. Potter Cairn Rescue?(Required)
