The adoption application will give us the information we need to make sure the cat/dog you’re considering is the right fit for your home. The adoption donation helps to cover the costs of spaying/neutering, testing for contagious diseases, micro-chipping, and required shots. Please contact us at 410-643-9955 if you have any questions. Please understand that it may take longer at times for us to process applications on high-interest animals, such as kittens or puppies. Thank you for understanding!

DISCLAIMER: Chesapeake Cats and Dogs (CCAD) does not guarantee that all prospective adopters/applicants will be approved. We reserve the right to choose the adoptive families we feel are most suited to the pet’s needs at the time of application. We evaluate all applicants on a case-by-case basis. People who are not approved may wish to reapply for a different dog or cat at a later time when their circumstances change. In addition, we reserve the right to redirect applicants to a dog or cat that better fits your lifestyle in order to have a successful adoption. If concerns present themselves at any time during the adoption process, we reserve the right to reevaluate your application.
