1. Research the available CYTR dog
Review the Available Dogs page or our
Petfinder Page and read the profile of each
dog. In the write up you will find all that CYTR is aware of with each
dog; the age, weight, temperament and even the adoption fee.
2. Request an Adoption Application for the specific CYTR dog you
wish to adopt
Once you have determined that you would like to apply for a dog that suits
your lifestyle; you simply email CYTR to request the adoption application.
It is always best to put a second choice on the application if you have a
second choice.
3. Postal mail completed Adoption Application to CYTR
All members of the family have to sign the original copy to be mailed to CYTR.
Applications are processed in order that they are received.
4. CYTR will process the adoption application
Once the completed adoption application is received via postal mail; we will
complete the reference checks and have them approved by the Board of
Directors.
5. Home Visit at your home with your family and the CYTR
dog to be adopted
CYTR will go to your home with the CYTR dog you are applying to adopt; this is
to ensure a good personality fit between your family (including pets) and the
new potential family member. It may not be possible 100% of the time to bring
the dog to be adopted based on extenuating circumstances; geographic and such.
A report is then sent back to the Board of Directors for a decision on the
adoption.
6. The Adoption Day!
When all paperwork is approved you will be notified that the Board of
Directors has approved your application and to set up a day, time and location
for the final adoption. During the final adoption you will receive all
forms required to ensure a good transition for your new dog into you family.
Forms will
contain: animals medical status, it's eligibility for Pet Plan Insurance Free
for sixty days (if you call within 10 days of the adoption), the animals
habits, food type & sleeping requirements, etc. An Adoption Contract must be
filed with us in duplicate, a placement fee obtained & transport arrangements
made for you to pick up your New Family Member.
7. The Trial Period
There
is also a Trial Period, noted in our Adoption Contract, where we have the
right to revisit to assess acclimation of the dog to ensure that all is well
for you, your family and the animal.
