Adoption ProcedureBefore we introduce you to some of our dogs, we'd like to give you a clear understanding of our adoption process. Once an application is submitted, it is reviewed, references are checked and a home visit is scheduled. Once the process is complete and an applicant is accepted, he or she is matched with a dog that best suits everyone's needs. An adoption contract is signed and CSK9 requires a minimum adoption fee of $250.00. For any dog six (6) years of age or older, the fee is $200.00. The expenses for the care may include, but are not limited to, vet bills, food, shelter and providing for the many rescue dogs who come into our care. If you are interested in any of these dogs, please fill out an application from our "Forms" page.Saving one dog will not change the world except for that one dog whose world will change forever. We know you are excited, but please try to be patient. If you are a good match for a dog, we will be in touch. It might be soon, or it might be a few weeks. We respond more quickly to inquiries that include a completed application. We appreciate your cooperation!! Thanks!
Skye Look who's come to hang out with the CSK9 crew! Beautiful, sweet little Skye. Skye is a 3 year old springer spaniel/pointer/maybe border collie mix who found herself homeless and in the shelter for waaaay too long. OMG how cute is this dog??? We can't understand why such a GOOD dog was passed over again and again. We are still learning about our new girl, but so far we can tell you that she is house-trained, crate-trained, a great car rider, loves her baths and brushing, and is good with other dogs as long as she can be the boss. She weighs about 35 lbs and is just about the cutest black and white spotted pooch we've ever met. She has great leash manners, and has a medium energy level. After she's done her walk, she especially loves sunning herself on a warm deck! Children over 8 please, and no cats for this girl, and a fence is a must. Skye would be great as an only dog, since she seems to be more focused on her people than on other dog friends. She would be a wonderful running companion if you enjoy taking your pooch along on your run. She does enjoy wrestling and hanging out with most other dogs. She is agile and nimble and would be a great agility dog, too! She is learning lots of new tricks in her foster home, including hopping into the bathtub for her bath. Our bright girl responds well to corrections and is enjoying learning even more manners in her foster home. Once in awhile, we run across a charming dog who has been overlooked for too long. If Skye's sweet face has charmed you, please submit an online application today!
Mr. Biggs Part newfie, part wheaton terrier, all love...that's our boy Biggs. This ultra sweet little guy has stolen everyone's hearts here at CSK9. He is about 16 weeks old, neutered, current on all his shots, and learning all about how to grow up into a good big boy! Yes, he will probably be a big boy, but not huge, when he's full-grown, and we're sure he'll be ultra-smart and ultra-good looking to boot. Mr. Biggs has an easy going temperament, likes to play and go for walks, is working on his housetraining, and gives as good as he gets when wrestling with other doggies. If you are home part of the day and ready, willing and able to teach a puppy all that it needs to know to be a canine good citizen, by all means consider adding little Biggs to your life.
Bee and Kira Hi!!! My name is Bee. I am the pretty girl with the beautiful black face. My sister is Kira. Her face is pretty too, and she has a cute little black and tan mask on her face. We are just about 3 mos old. We finally made it out of the shelter and into a wonderful warm foster home. We love to play with our foster family. Our foster mom says that we have perfect puppy kisses and our tails are gonna wag right off our bodies!! We love everyone. We are trying to figure out this house training thing, but it is really new to us. We do pretty well! So far, we try really hard to not have any accidents in our crate. My foster dad says that we are amazingly smart. When it is bedtime, we go to bed in our crate and we are quiet all night long. But, we still use our puppy pads! We love to play outside and all the neighbors love to come pet us. So, we are giving kissing all the time. If you are looking for a loving happy companion.... you should come on over and meet us....we are very special .. everyone says so!! We will need someone that can be home part of the day to help us figure out the housetraining thing!!!
Scooby ISO: loving, caring family for giant, lovable, lap-dog. "Scooby" is house trained, crate trained, neutered and healthy. Scooby loves to be with his people. He weighs in at 160 lbs, but that doesn't mean he wants to lie around all day. He enjoys walks and play time. He can get all four paws off of the ground when he jumps! He is currently in a foster home with children and another dog. Are you looking for a big, affectionate companion? If so, Scooby may be the dog for you!
AJ Meet our new boy AJ! He's an 8-yr old white mixed GSD and Samoyed who was turned in by his family for pooping in their yard plantings. Mind you, that's where a dog's SUPPOSED to go potty, outside! He's neutered, current on his shots, knows some commands, and is OK on a leash. Even though AJ was kept living outside, he is housetrained, likes people and does fine with other dogs. His face and coat are German shepherd, and he has a tail that curls up over his back. He is short and stocky like a Samoyed, he weighs about 55 lbs, and he has that classic Sammy smile! He is in a foster home now learning about all the joys and wonders of living indoors. He is making great progress and growing more relaxed and confident every day. If you are interested in showing AJ the life he deserves, ask about him today!
Piper Piper is a great family dog, and any family would be lucky to have such a good dog. He wants to be a part of the action, and loves play time. He is easy going and does not chew, jump, or bark. He does well in a crate while no one is at home. He has been trained to sit, heal, and other tricks. He is up for laying around, being petted all day, or going for long hikes or runs. He will be a great addition to any family. Piper has lived with cats and small children with no problems, but because of his size, it is best for him to go to a home with kids ages ten and up. He is a lovable, loving dog. If you are interested in meeting me or just want to know more about me, please contact my foster mom.

"A harbor, even if it is a little harbor, is a good thing, since adventures come into it as well as go out, and the life in it grows strong, because it takes something from the world and has something to give in return." -Sarah Orne Jewett, from "River Driftwood" (1881) |
