REGULAR ADOPTION VS. MANAGED ADOPTION AND HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
Most of our animals are available through our regular adoption process of first come first serve – no appointment necessary! Sometimes we have animals that come in to CHS who have detailed medical or behaviour needs and require a very specific home. These animals are a ‘managed adoption’ which means, by appointment through our Adoption team. Often a behaviour or medical consultation will happen at the time of your visit to help set you and the animal up for success. To find out if the animal you are interested in is considered a managed adoption, check out their biography!
COMING SOON ANIMALS
Notice an animal you are interested in adopting but their profile says they are ‘coming soon’ – not sure what it means? Basically it means the animal isn’t quite ready yet to be adopted. This can be for various reasons but most commonly, they are still on a legal hold in case an owner is looking for them. An animal that is listed as coming soon is still available to have visits and can be placed on hold for adoption with the stipulation that the adoption can’t be completed until the legal hold period is complete.
