Please Note:
We only adopt to the VA-DC-MD Metro area. Also, we require owner's to provide veterinary references to confirm heartworm and yearly visits are current. Our rescued babies sometimes require experienced dog owners, so we do not adopt to new dog owners for many of our more difficult dogs.
Caring Hearts rescue adopts to homes with children on a case by case basis. We feel children 11 and over are more compatible with our rescue dogs. A young child can seriously injure a small dog. In addition, a large number of the dogs we receive come to us because they have snapped at or bitten a child. These dogs are never placed in a home with children. Dogs and children can be great together but we feel no dog should ever be left unattended with a young child. We are happy to assist parents in educating their children on how to interact with a dog, to insure a long happy relationship between their new addition and all family members.
Note: Before filling the application, please contact us if you crate your dog. Some of the rescue dogs have shown
severe anxiety when crated, or have crate aggression and will bite when trying to place, or remove them from a
crate. Please email us at apply@caringheartsrescue.org to make sure the dog you are interested in has no issues with crating.
Fees: The adoption fee for a baby 0-1 year is $350.00. Babies up to 6 month will have their de-worming's and distemper series covered. Several visits to the doctor occur with many of our babies.Adult fee is $325.00 for basic cost. $350.00 if we provided the Basic Health Check Certification and a full dental or blood work on top of the regular cost. Most of the vetting we spend ranges from $500 to $1200 dollars. Please, understand that we are an all volunteer organization so allow up to two weeks to process your application.
