Adoption Inclusions:

Along with daily care costs, the adoption fees help Cairns & Cousins Terrier Rescue cover vaccination and medical prep costs for the dogs. At adoption, Cairns & Cousins Terrier Rescue dogs will be current on their vaccines and will have the following:

Dogs
  • Rabies (1 yr. or 3 yr.)
  • Distemper (DHLPP or DHLPP-C)
  • Bordetella
  • Negative Heartworm, Lyme's, Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis Tests
  • Lyme Vaccine (if relevant)
  • Altered - Females Spayed or Males Neutered, for dogs aged six months and older

Age Policy:

Age range for people and limitations on adopting or fostering
  • 21-70 no restrictions
  • One day over 70- 73 no puppies
  • One day over 73 - 75 no dog younger than 3
  • One day over 75 - 78 no dog younger than 6
  • One day over 78 and up no dog younger than 9

Unfortunately, when an owner passes away or moves into assisted living without the ability to keep their dog, the family often isn’t able or willing to take on the responsibility. The dog is uprooted and must adjust to a foster home before transitioning to a new adoptive home.

This policy aims to reduce the chances of dogs experiencing these situations.
