Adoption ProcedureBefore we introduce you to some of our dogs, we'd like to give you a clear understanding of our adoption process. Once an application is submitted, it is reviewed, references are checked and a home visit is scheduled. Once the process is complete and an applicant is accepted, he or she is matched with a dog that best suits everyone's needs. An adoption contract is signed and CSK9 requires a minimum adoption fee of $300.00. For any dog six (6) years of age or older, the fee is $200.00. The expenses for the care may include, but are not limited to, vet bills, food, shelter and providing for the many rescue dogs who come into our care. If you are interested in any of these dogs, please fill out an application from our "Forms" page.Saving one dog will not change the world except for that one dog whose world will change forever. We know you are excited, but please try to be patient. If you are a good match for a dog, we will be in touch. It might be soon, or it might be a few weeks. We respond more quickly to inquiries that include a completed application. We appreciate your cooperation!! Thanks!
Chelsea Meet our sweet Chelsea Bell. Chelsea is a darling dog who is looking for a new family, hopefully with kids, who will include her in their pack and all the activities of day-to-day life. Chelsea is not quite 6 years old, spayed, housebroken, loves company and going for walks and car rides. She loves children (she lived with two) and plays well with the neighborhood dogs. She is a low energy doggie and is easy to be around. She is very smart and rings the bells on the door to go outside. She is an easy dog and would love to cuddle in bed at night. She barks when someone comes to door, but sniffs them and quickly makes friends. She is a gentle, loving soul who yearns to share her heart with a forever family who will appreciate her devotion. If you can give her happy car rides, long walks, and a warm bed with a warm body to snuggle against, she is your girl! Please contact us at captain@csk9.org with questions and fill out an application at CSK9.org if you would like to meet. Thank you!
Greta Fabulous Greta! We can't say enough great things about this girl! She is beautiful, super smart, active, sensitive, loving and fun loving. She is about 6 years old, spayed, and current on all her shots. When out and about, Greta gets along with everyone she meets. She has been on many a stroll through Annapolis' downtown, and was even "sucker punched" by an ill-tempered terrier once without issue. She is all the things that are wonderful about a German shepherd, so if you are looking for a devoted, black and tan furry shadow, Greta is the girl for you!
Auggie Auggie Dog! What can we say about our dear sweet Auggie? Auggie is a Dogue de Bordeaux mix who is a young guy, probably around 3 years old, who is nothing but kisses and wiggles. If you don't like kisses, then Auggie is definitely not the dog for you! As we say around our house, "Auggie can't hold his licker!" He started out nameless and scared in a local animal shelter, curled up and shaking in the corner of his cage, jumping and trembling even more every time the intercom went off in the shelter. While we were there to evaluate someone else, Auggie Dog caught our eye and we couldn't leave him behind. Auggie is a wiggly, happy guy, who gets along with most other dogs, although he can sometimes be picky about his friends. If you love kisses, wiggles, and droopy jowls, consider adding Auggie to your life.
Mae Some dogs come into the rescue very deliberately, and some come in because while in the shelter to evaluate one dog, and we are struck and knocked over by a lightning bolt of love from another. So what else to do but come home with 2 dogs? Such is the case with one of the sweetest little souls we've ever met, little miss Mae. One of our two newest heartthrobs, Mae is about 12 months old and spent 7 months growing up in a shelter. Could you leave that face behind? We couldn't. She needs to continue her housetraining but goes willingly into a crate and is eager to please. She gets along with everyone human and canine, and although she hasn't yet been cat-tested we think she would be fine with them as well. If you are looking for a smaller dog with a heart for LOVE, LOVE, LOVE for EVERYONE, please giver her the chance to melt you, too.

"A harbor, even if it is a little harbor, is a good thing, since adventures come into it as well as go out, and the life in it grows strong, because it takes something from the world and has something to give in return." -Sarah Orne Jewett, from "River Driftwood" (1881) |
