Volunteer Application

The CCRT mandates that all pets currently in an applicant’s home be spayed or neutered (unless as per the advice of your veterinarian) before we will consider placing a rescue dog with you. We believe very strongly in the importance of spaying/neutering for many reasons, including the improved health of the pet as well as helping to curb the high incidence of unnecessary/accidental breeding. CCRT also mandates all pets need to be appropriately vaccinated as per vaccination protocol (unless as per the advice of your veterinarian).
