Adopt - Canine Haven Rescue

ARE YOU READY TO ADOPT?

Thank you for your interest in adoption with Canine Haven Rescue.

We are always looking for stable homes to help our animals settle in to life in Canada. We have animals with various needs. If you have any deal breakers, such as toilet training, separation anxiety, leash manners, fear, special needs, please let us know. We are transparent as possible when placing our dogs to ensure it is the right fit for everyone.

Before completing our adoption application, please review

The true cost of keeping a dog in 2023

This will assist you in knowing exactly how much money it takes to care for a dog responsibly, from adoption to emergencies.

We only accept adoption applications when we have dogs available. If you complete this application when we have no available dogs, we will not process it.

What is the adoption process?

Adopting through Canine Haven Rescue is such a rewarding experience! We have an application process to go through, including checking your references and sending you a short questionnaire. If all goes well, you will have virtual and in person meet & greets, followed by a small online training session, and then you get to bring your newest family member home! Here’s a video created by our adoption coordinator that goes through the full process.

What is included in the vetting details?

All CHR dogs are vaccinated and spayed/neutered/microchipped prior to adoption. We also examine dogs for any signs of TVT, dental, 4DX Snap (Heartworm, Lyme, Erhlichia, Anasplasma) and Babesis (depending on the country of origin)

All CHR cats are vaccinated and spayed/neutered/microchipped prior to adoption. We also examine cats for any signs of cancer, diabetes, feline immunodefiency virus, feline leukemia virus, heartworm and high-rise syndrome.

Please check our FAQ and our adoption page prior to sending additional questions related to the adoption process.
