Ready to Adopt?
CCRF does not do on-site adoptions. A home visit, animal introduction (if you currently have another pet), landlord/condo association and reference check all need to be completed before the adoption can become offical. We try our best to complete the adoption process with in 1 week.

CCRF Adoption Process:

1. Fill out an adoption application: Use the links below to be taken to the online application.
2. An adoption counselor will call or email you within 48 hours to review your application.

If you would like to check the status of your application after 24 hours, you can call or email info@chicagocaninerescue.com.

3. The adoption counselor will call your reference, landlord/condo association, and veterinarian (if applicable).

4. An adoption counselor will schedule a time for you, your family and any other pets to meet the pet(s) you've applied for.

5. A home visit is also necessary. If possible, the entire household should be present for the visit.

6. To make the adoption official, a signed adoption contract and a $200 fee for canines or $100 for felines (exceptions are noted on animals bio), will be collected before the animal is placed in your home. If an animal has not yet been spayed or neutered, there is an additional $50 spay/neuter deposit. All previous medical records will be turned over to the new adopter.



The adoption process is almost always completed within one week of time you submitted your application. Time can vary depending on your location, the dogs location and availability.

Requirements: Our adopters must be at least 21 years of age, live in the Chicagoland Area, provide landlord or condo associations contact information to verify that you are allowed to have the pet you are applying for and willing to complete the interview and home check process.
