Before being adopted, all pets are spayed/neutered and receive their rabies shots, vaccinations, and microchips. Dogs also get heart worm tests and city licenses.

CACC's regular requirements and screening process for adoptions are in effect at this event. Please make sure to bring:

- A valid government-issued photo ID

- If you rent, a copy of your rental agreement or letter from your landlord. Otherwise, CACC will need to speak to your landlord.

- Vet vaccination records for your other pets (if applicable) or your vet's contact information

-ALL residents of the home must be available to meet the animal you want to adopt. This includes children, roommates, grandparents - if they live in the home - they need to be present.
