How Do I Adopt?
If you're interested in adopting, download and fill-in our adoption form to speed up the process. Applications must be approved prior to any in-person adoption viewings. Please remember that as our foster homes are on private property, visitation with the animals is by appointment only.

Are you looking for a dog?
Dogs who eventually find themselves in CAPS' care start their journeys at Annapolis County Animal Control.
For those first few days, dogs may be adopted directly from "the pound". To find out what dogs are available, contact the Bylaw Enforcement Officer.

Did you hear? CAPS has a "BOGO" Offer!
EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH A BUDDY!
2 FOR 1
CAPS is celebrating with a BOGO ADOPTION BLITZ!
Why not fill your home with love? Choose 2 Best Buddies for only 1 adoption donation!
$80 for cats over 6 months, $100.00 for kittens and $125.00 for dogs.
Animals are vet checked, combo tested, vaccinated, de-wormed, de-fleaed and Spayed or Neutered at the time of adoption.
There is no better gift than a home for an orphaned animal. Living in a home-like environment, most of our cats have a buddy to chum around with, or a sibling or two still in foster care.
Please call 825-2277 for information or look up CAPS on Petfinder or Facebook.
Why adopt from a Rescue Group or Shelter?
Puppy Mills and Back Yard Breeders, operating in dismal conditions in garages, basements, barns and bedrooms, produce huge numbers of puppies each year for profit and no other reason. They sell through retail pet stores and through classified ads.
These mills are not necessary to meet the public's demand for companion dogs, as there are more than enough wonderful dogs in shelters across the province that need homes.
