      ADULT DOG, 5 months through 8 years old $250.00

      Puppies 4 months of age and under      $350.00

      Second dog adoption:     $150.00

      Second puppy adoption:       $350.00

      THIS IS HOW THE PROCESS WORKS:

Once we receive your application and the adoption fee, your application will be reviewed.   If there are any questions, ie: fencing etc. you will receive a call to clarify our concerns.  When you are approved, you will receive, via e-mail, a confirmation letter with your adoption number.  PLEASE PRINT THIS,LETTER, IT IS YOUR TICKET TO ADOPT AND YOU WILL BE ASKED BY THE FOSTER OR OWNER TO SHOW YOUR ADOPTION NUMBER.  You will also receive your first " List Of Dogs Available With CCLRR".  This list has the contact numbers for each Lab.      
      This list goes out every THURSDAY AFTERNOON to those who have completed the adoption  process and received their adoption number. The Web page is not updated until   Friday, so those on our "approved adopter" list have first access to new dogs. Please remember, this list is more current than the Web page. When you receive your list you may call the owner/foster of the dog, make an appointment and go with your family, and your dog if you have one, to meet the Rescue Lab.  If on your meeting the Lab looks like a match, you may take the Lab for a two-week trial period.  If, after this period it is working, you have adopted a Lab.  If it is not working, you can bring the Lab back and try again.
      All our Labs come with inoculations current, heartworm negative and spayed or neutered.  We will microchip all our Labs. No Lab  (except a puppy under four months of age) will be given to its new family until it has been spayed/neutered.  THIS IS CALIFORNIA LAW.

REFUNDS:  If, in the first two weeks after you are approved, you find and adopt a dog from another Rescue or a Shelter, we will refund your adoption fee.  After two weeks we will not refund….you have made a donation to Rescue.

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO ADOPT  You may stay on our "LIST" as long as you wish….there is no time limit for you to find the right dog.

I HAVE ADOPTED FROM YOU BEFORE   Yes you need to fill out a new adoption application.  We close the file when you adopt.  The fee for a second or third adoption is $150. (EXCEPT FOR PUPPIES)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

1. Dogs currently listed on the website may have been adopted by the time your application is received. Some dogs are adopted quickly, and our  already approved adopters have priority.
2. Applications received by Tuesday are approved by Wednesday for the Thursday list mailing.
   
3. Please understand you are applying to adopt a Lab, not a specific Lab already on our list. There are approved adopters on our list and they have first call on any Lab we have. If you see a Lab on our web page and are applying to adopt only that Lab you may well be disappointed, but remember, our supply is endless and the right Lab will come along.
