If you wonder why our adoption process is so lengthy and cumbersome, many of our dogs were emaciated, sick, heartworm positive, covered in fleas, or full of intestinal worms when they came to us.  At one time, their owners convinced someone that they would provide a wonderful, loving home.

Clear Lake All Breed Rescue does not have a shelter.  We are a network of foster homes.  If you are interested in any of the dogs or cats listed, please fill out an Adoption Application to start the adoption process.  You can fax your completed application to the number provided, or attach it to an email.  Please note, we are all volunteers with full time jobs, so please allow us at least 24 hours to respond.  (Adobe Acrobat version of Adoption Application)

Home Visit

Clear Lake All Breed Rescue doesn't want to judge how clean your house is, or how much money you have.  We just want to make sure that you've got the space for a new pet as well as a securely fenced yard.  This also gives us a chance to point out things you may want to be cautious about with a new family member.

Vet Check

This is used to verify that any current or past animals are/were properly cared for, including yearly vaccinations and heartworm preventative.

Adoption Contract

The Adoption Contract is used to make the adoption process final.  Before adopting, please review our contract to make sure you agree with our policies.

Adoption Donation

Please remember, you are not paying for the dog.  You are helping to offset some of the costs associated with caring for unwanted dogs and cats.  The proceeds generated by this policy are used, along with other donations and our active fundraising to ensure our organization remains able to take in any needy dogs and cats.  In addition to loving foster care, we provide each dog or cat with medical treatment including alteration, shots, heartworm testing, patella evaluation and dental care, etc.  We appreciate your support of this policy!  Our required donations are as follows:

• For healthy cats and kittens: $75
• For most healthy dogs and puppies: $150
• For Bull Terriers (must go to a bull-type breed experienced home): $150-$350
• Geriatric or "special needs" dogs: donation is set on a case-by-case basis

Of course, anything more is always welcome!  After adoption we are always available to assist and advise our adoptive families in every way we can.  If for any reason an adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to us.
