Bringing great people and great dogs together for life!

Canine Companions Rescue Center is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation founded in 2004 for the purpose of working with the community and area animal control agencies to promote the adoption of dogs without families. It is our goal to rescue dogs with good family potential. If our adopters and our dogs are both happier after the match, then we've done our job!

Our adoption fee for all of our dogs, regardless of age or breed, is $200 cash or check only. As part of this fee, we will bring your dog up to date medically, including a spay or neuter. The adoption fee also includes a post-adoption vet visit with one of CCRC vets. For more details on what is covered, please see our Health Statement on the Documents page. These services would run over $300 at the vet, so adopting a rescue dog makes good financial sense!

To facilitate a lifelong bond of unconditional love between families and their dogs, we will provide counseling as needed to anyone having issues. If we can't help, we will recommend other alternatives to help solve the problem.

Like most rescues, we have an adoption application to make sure our dogs go into good homes. The application can be filled out at our website ahead of time (the preferred method) or in person at the time of adoption. One of our adoption counselors will review your application, and if approved, you can take your new best friend home the same day. We do our best to make sure our dogs are physically and mentally sound, and we promise to disclose known problems. However, we cannot guarantee there will be no physical or behavioral problems.

Please feel free to call or email if you have any questions or concerns, or check out all of the training and behavior literature available on our website. Nip any problems in the bud by asking for help early! Please understand that dogs need time to settle in and understand the routine in your household. You need a little patience and a lot of consistency to make the process go as smoothly as possible. It's a rare dog that will be perfect upon arrival in a new situation, but most are diamonds in the rough waiting for a loving family.
