Every adoption is a unique situation and depending on logistics of where you live and where the dog is, we try to come up with a plan for how you can meet the dog and the adoption can take place.

Most of our dogs in located in the Los Angeles area, either in boarding or in foster homes. Depending on where you live and if you have an idea of whom you might like to adopt, we try to come up with a plan. We've had adopters fly down or drive down to Los Angeles and meet all of the dogs, spend a whole day here, then make a decision about which dog they might like to adopt. We've had other adopters who felt they were leaning towards one particular dog and we've actually ended up driving the dog up to meet the adopters somewhere halfway (we've done many adoptions in the middle of the state, in the parking lot of Harris Ranch Restaurant). Some months when we have three or four adopters lined up in advance, we will rent a cargo van and load it up with crates and dogs and drive all the way up and all of the pre-approved adopters meet us at one spot.

Every adoption is a unique situation. Once the adopter is pre-approved, at that point we work with the adopter to find the fastest way for them to meet the dog(s) so that one lucky Camp Cocker doggie can begin his/her new life living as a much loved pet!

We have had out of state adoptions before, but these adopters were so interested in adopting one of our dogs that they flew here to meet the dogs in person. We will not put a dog on a plane to anyone who has not gone through our normal adoption process (a home check and follow up visit still must take place and we will attempt to find a local rescue volunteer in your area to do this on our behalf). If you live out of state and are quite serious about adopting, understand that you will need to fly here after your home check is done, to meet the dogs in person. The last thing we want to do is to put a dog on a plane and the first time you meet, you are disappointed. Then we have a dog that will need to fly back to us and it is very stressful on the dog. We want you to come here, meet the dogs, spend a little time with the dog you are interested in, before making the decision you wish to adopt. Then if your home check is already done, you can return home with the dog on your flight. Also understand that if for some reason, the adoption doesn't work out and you change your mind or need to return the dog at some point, you will need to cover the costs to fly the dog back to Camp Cocker.
