Adopting from Canine Hearts Rescue & Sanctuary

Adoption process

The adoption process begins with an initial interview conducted via email or phone. Applicants must provide proof of home ownership or obtain approval from their landlord if they are renting. If the applicant is approved after an in-person meeting, an adoption contract will be reviewed and signed. Additionally, a medical record will be reviewed and signed. Finally, an adoption fee ranging from $200 to $400 will be collected.

Service area: We provide support for owner surrenders, shelter rescues, and fixed-income pet care throughout the entire San Francisco Bay Area. We adopt dogs to homes across California and occasionally facilitate out-of-state adoptions. In the future, we plan to expand our shelter rescue efforts to encompass the entire state.
