Cause for Canines is a 501(c)(3) volunteer-based, all-breed dog rescue founded in Central Ohio. We are committed to the rescue of homeless dogs, dogs given up by their owners due to difficult circumstances or those in danger of abuse or neglect, and dogs in shelters that are at risk of euthanasia. Our mission is to find safe, loving, committed and permanent homes for the dogs we take into rescue. All of our dogs are placed in foster care and receive any necessary medical care and treatments and are spayed/neutered and microchipped, while waiting for their forever homes. Applicants are put through an extensive adoption process to ensure our dogs are placed in the best homes possible. We also provide education to prospective adopters to ensure they have the tools necessary to provide appropriate pet care for their new forever friend. We are a group of passionate animal advocates who are dedicated to doing our part to improve the rights of dogs everywhere.
1. Submit an application. Your application will be reviewed by a Cause for Canines Coordinator, at which point your personal and vet references will be contacted and your vet records will be verified. 2. A Cause for Canines Coordinator will contact you to schedule a home visit. This is required for all adoptions to ensure fit and safety for our animals. Home visits take anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes. 3. You will be connected with a foster to schedule a meet and greet with the dog or dogs you are interested in. The meet and greet is also a good opportunity for the foster dog to meet any resident animals. 4. A legally binding adoption contract is agreed upon and signed along with payment of adoption fees.
