Canine Adoption And Rescue League

About

Canine Adoption and Rescue League (C.A.R.L.) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all breed, no-kill dog rescue and adoption organization. Since 1996, C.A.R.L. has rescued and placed thousands of unwanted, sick, abandoned, and homeless dogs. Dogs in our adoption program are placed in pre-screened, loving and secure homes. We make a lifetime commitment to all of our dogs. C.A.R.L. is located in Ventura County, California and primarily serves Ventura County dogs. Because of our lifetime commitment to our dogs we have a preference to place dogs locally so we are available to them if needed. We rely on donations and do not receive government, state, or city funding. We operate almost entirely by volunteers

Adoption process

1. Before making your selection, please consider the following. After reading, select a dog that interests you and fits your lifestyle. 2. Everyone in the household needs to spend some time interacting with the dog. If you already have a dog in your household, please bring your dog over to meet the dog you’ve selected. All dogs in the home must meet the dog you’ve selected. 3. Fill out an online adoption application form (click to open). (Note: Filling out an application DOES NOT guarantee an adoption.) 4. An Adoption Counselor will review the application. Upon approval of the application, starting the following week around Tuesday, we will call to set up an appointment to visit your home to confirm that the fencing and gates are secure, and the yard is safe for the dog. 5. No dog is ever adopted from the program without a home check. 6. If more than one application is submitted for a given dog, our adoption committee will select the home that is best suited for the dog’s needs. 7. The entire adoption process can take up to one week. 8. The adoption process is concluded when an Adoption Contract is completed and the non-refundable adoption fee is paid. 9. Our non-refundable adoption fees per dog are: $250 for puppies under 12 mo., $200 for dogs 1 yr to under 8 yrs, $175 for senior dogs 8 yrs. and up. If you can increase the adoption fee for the dog you are adopting, please do so. Any amount over the adoption fee is tax-deductible. If you cannot, please remember us during the holiday gift giving season and for donations of dog toys, dog beds, blankets, and other items all rescue groups need. But, most importantly, PLEASE remember to tell your friends who FALL IN LOVE with your dog (because they will) to ADOPT – don’t breed or buy.
