All of our dogs and puppies are kept in private foster homes around the Triangle; the foster knows their dog the best so can answer your questions about the animal. You can list many dogs on your application and only need to submit one application to adopt. (CFP adoption events are also a good place to meet several dogs at one time!)

Once your application is received, our Care Team may have questions for clarification; if not, they will forward the application to the foster(s) who will reach out to you with more information about the dog and set up a meeting if they feel you are a good fit for their foster. Please bring all the household members (both furry and human) to the initial meeting of the CFP dog. We want to be sure everyone gets along!

After meeting the dog, please email careteam@cfp-nc.org if you’re interested in moving forward in adopting that dog or if you want to meet another dog. When making the decision to adopt, we look at the application itself, the interaction with the dog, the care of your pets, if your family is a good match and the input from the dog’s foster.
