CMND will get roughly 20 more corgis after these get adopted. So if you want to adopt one or know someone who would like one, read the requirement and spread the word. You can help by donating directly to CMND, please do not call them at this time, they are overwhelm with the care of the fosters.

 

CMND DO ALLOW out of state adoption 

 

 

Requirements for adopting:

•  We do require fenced yards in most cases. (It may be possible for an adult or senior dog to work out fine in a townhouse or condo environment, that have small enclosures/patio's).   We will occasionally adopt to apartments dwellers but only on a case by case basis. Puppies will not go to homes where they will be left alone for many hours. Most of our dogs have lived in small cages all their lives and we would prefer for other methods other than crating be arranged for when the dog is home alone.

•  All NMDR dogs will be primarily inside dogs - no dogs will live outside. 

•  No NMDR dog will be kept on a chain.

•  All NMDR dogs will be provided with adequate fresh food and water, clean, dry shelter when outside, and daily exercise.

•  All NMDR dogs will be provided with a safe collar with ID tags to be worn at all times.

•  All adoptive families will obey all applicable laws governing control and custody of animals.

•  All adoptive families will provide all medical care and treatment needed by the dog including but not limited to: yearly medical checkups and vaccines, and preventative heartworm medication.

•  All NMDR dogs will be adopted only as a personal companion and not as a gift, working animal or guard dog.

• All NMDR dogs will be returned to NMDR should it be necessary to find another home for the dog.  NO dog will be given away for any reason.

•  NMDR assumes no responsibility nor shall they be held liable for any damages caused by the adopted animal to property, person or other pets.  If any medical problems occur after adoption, NMDR is not liable for any medical bills.

•  If you have other pets, they must be spayed/neutered if you adopt from us.  Your other pets must be up to date on all vet care (shots and preventatives).

•  If you are unsure as to whether you can commit to a dog for the rest of its life (regardless of whether you move, change jobs, or get divorced) then please rethink your decision to adopt a dog.  Adoption is for the rest of the dog’s life and our rescued dogs have already had enough turmoil in their lives.

 

 

Adoption fees are:

$300 for puppies up to 6 months old
$250 for 6 months old to 8 years old
$150 for dogs older than 8 years old

Our expenses preparing our dogs for adoption are much greater than our fees cover.  Donations above the adoption fees will help us continue our efforts to rescue dogs.


The fee includes:

Spay/neuter
Shots including rabies
Dentals will be given to dogs that have health issues with their teeth.

We offer a full refund (minus a $50 processing fee) up to 14 days after the adoption if the adoption doesn’t work out.
Once again, for the sake of the dog, we ask that adopters give the dog a reasonable amount of time and patience before deciding to return the dog.  If the dog does need to be returned, it is the policy of NMDR that all dogs are returned to us and never surrendered to any other person or organization for any reason.


Placement of dogs outside of Colorado Springs: 

We have found homes for dogs outside the Colorado Springs area.  Wherever you reside, if you would
like to make a deserving dog part of your life, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  We do not, however,    ship dogs.  Interested adopters must come and meet the dogs.  It would be best to plan a trip after being    
approved for adoption.  We would communicate thoroughly with a prospective adopter and get references    
prior to your trip.


Placement of dogs in home with young children:

NMDR does not typically adopt dogs into homes with children under 4 years of age.  However,depending on the child and the dog your family is interested in, exceptions are occasionally made.  Please understand that our proceeding with the application process does not mean that we will deem any specific dog a good fit for your family, but we will do our best to work with you in finding the most appropriate companion for your home.

Thank you for your interest in caring for a rescued dog.

I saw they do out of state adoption, but it looks like I'd have to travel there to meet them and the dog first (which is really IMO the only way to truly know if one would be a good fit for us)

Right now I don't have the time or resources to drive from Indiana to Colorado. But I would love to get one of the males listed (as Scout gets along better with boys).
