PLEASE NOTE

Our goal is to place animals into permanent, caring, and loving homes. We will do what is best for the animal being considered for adoption. Some need county homes, some need adult-only homes, some need homes where they will not be left alone for long periods of time. Please understand that if you are refused, it is because it is in the best interest of the animal. We reserve the right to hold an application for 24 hours before adopting out an animal so that we may review it. Please understand that Cedar Rapids Animal Care & Control is not a veterinary clinic and that this animal may be harboring a medical condition which is not apparent during its stay at the shelter, and that should such a condition become apparent after adoption, you assume full responsibility for any related veterinary care. We strongly recommend that you take your new pet to a veterinarian for a health examination within one (1) week of adoption.
