If you are a CPCRN adoptive home, please let us know which Cairn(s) and when you adopted:

Please check the areas in which you are interested:

Foster Home

Foster homes are greatly needed and appreciated. This is the most critical need in our rescue chain. We can only save as many Cairns as we have foster homes. All approved expenses are reimbursed.

Cairn Rescue/Intakes

Volunteers who can I.D. Cairns in person or on websites, call shelters and surrendering owners or pull dogs from shelters and take to a safe haven (a boarding facility or vets office) are always needed. All approved expenses are reimbursed.

Transport Driver

Transporting rescue dogs to their foster homes. What could be more fun than that? Each dog is transported in its own crate provided by CPCRN. Drivers are given a detailed transport plan and reimbursement for tolls and mileage is available. Please complete our Transport Volunteer Form if you can help..

Transport Coordinator

Planning a transport involves establishing routes and meeting places from starting location to the foster home, and contacting potential volunteer drivers for those routes. Being comfortable online and experience with Microsoft Office and Excel required. If you would like more information about this challenging and rewarding role, please check the box and you will be contacted!

Home Safety Inspections:

A "Home Safety Inspection," or a "Home Visit" as the final step in CPCRN's five-part adoption process. Since CPCRN is a national Rescue program, much of our adoption process is handled through e-mail and phone calls. The home visit is truly the only chance that we have PRIOR to the placement of one of our Rescue dogs to ensure that the Cairn will be in a safe and loving home.

Volunteers are needed to conduct home visits in your area as well as in an administrative capacity

Reference Checks:

Volunteers are always needed to check adoptive and foster home references. This step in our adoption process is also essential to the foster home approval as well. The majority of checks are made via telephone -- phone cards, instructions and support are provided by CPCRN.

Post Adoption

Volunteers are needed to follow-up with our adoptive homes, gather "Happy Endings" and provide support to families and their new Cairn buddies. Phone cards and training are provided.

Match-Maker

Volunteers are needed to arrange "matches" between available foster dogs and potential adoptive homes using resources detailing both dogs and applicants. Match-making involves contact with potential adoptive homes and foster homes. Training is provided.

Fundraising

Our fundraising efforts are an integral part of Rescue. We welcome anyone who can offer items to sell in auctions or through our Cairn Shopping Mall where we offer many hand-crafted items made by volunteers.

I am a crafter, and I enjoy doing the following crafts:

I am an artist, and I can help in this capacity by donating art or helping with art that is needed for fundraiser projects.
