Our adoption process starts with an application, which can be filled out online, or at our Saturday Adopt-a-Pet events.  We consider applications in the order they are received. Click here to fill out our canine (dog) application.  Click here for our feline (cat) application.  One of our volunteers will review your application and contact you via email to ask any questions we might have about your application.  Once approved, a volunteer will contact you to discuss the pet you are interested in and answer any questions you may have.  The next step is to set up a meeting for you to get to know the pet you are interested in.  We normally do this at our Saturday Adopt-a-Pet events, but we can also set up appointments at other times mutually convenient for you, the pet's foster parent, and an adoption coordinator.  We also reserve the right to perform a home visit for any adoption.  During a home visit a Cabarrus Pets Society volunteer or a volunteer from another rescue group will come to your house to see where your new pet will live.  If you're not sure which one of our pets would be right for you, we would be happy to advise you and introduce you to several, just let us know what you're looking for. 

Please note that Cabarrus Pets Society's policy does not allow families with children under 6 years of age to adopt puppies under the age of 6 months.  The suitability of adult dogs, cats, and kittens is considered on a case by case basis.  Obedience training is encouraged for every dog or puppy adoption and required for select adoptions.  This policy is in place for the safety of both the animals and your children. 

Because we follow up on every adoption, we prefer adopters within a 75 mile radius of Concord, NC and they will be given priority over out of area applications.  We will consider out of area applications on a case by case basis. 

Many people don't understand why we have to charge a fee for our animals, when many private individuals give unwanted kittens and puppies away for free.  The reason we charge for our animals is that we provide medical care to ensure that our animals are healthy.  If you were to pay to have the medical care we provide done on a free kitten or puppy, it would cost several times the amount of our adoption fee. 

Our adoption fee for dogs and puppies is $110.  This includes all shots (parvo/distemper, rabies) up to date as of the day of adoption, heartworm testing and preventative, deworming, spay or neuter at the Charlotte or Cabarrus Spay/Neuter Clinic, as well as any medical care the dog or puppy may need during his or her time with us.  All medical care after adoption, with the exception of the spay/neuter in the case of a puppy that is too young to have the surgery before adoption, is the responsibility of the new owner. 

Our adoption fee for cats under the age of 6 months is $60.  For cats over the age of 6 months, our fee is $50.  This includes all shots up to date as of the day of adoption, feline leukemia testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery at the Charlotte Spay/Neuter Clinic, and any medical care the cat or kitten may have needed during his or her time with us.  All medical care after adoption, with the exception of the spay/neuter in the case of a kitten that is too young to have the surgery before adoption, is the responsibility of the new owner.
