No. CDCK carefully screens its applicants by calling references, veterinarians, and landlords. CDCK also conducts home visits of potential adoption homes. CDCK has no obligation to adopt to any particular applicant and will refuse adoption if it believes that a particular applicant or their home would not be a suitable environment for a dog or cat. Anyone with any history of abuse, neglect, abandonment, or surrendering of pets without a valid reason is disqualified from adopting from  CDCK. Our goal is to avoid the return of pets to shelters by finding forever homes for them with adopters who are capable of providing the level of care necessary to support the dogs and cats through their entire natural lives. We typically have multiple applications on each dog and cat and must determine the best choice for each of the individual needs of our dogs an cats. Unfortunately, there may be multiple suitable adopters for a dog or cat, and some will be declined if another applicant had a stronger application and background.
