Adopt a Working Dog
Category 5 K9 strives to find working homes for rescue dogs that have the right drives and temperament. When a working candidate becomes available approved adopters are contacted first before they are listed as available to other placement. We encourage interested adopters apply in advance so they can be contacted when a dog that may fit their requirements becomes available.
What you need to know:
Canine handlers, departments, and training organizations can apply to adopt working candidates
All dogs are screened for food and toy drive, temperament, and environmental stability at multiple locations with different people
Approved adopters may request additional videos and time to screen dogs in person
Most available dogs are rescues or owner surrenders with unknown pedigrees and backgrounds
Available dogs are provided treatment for any existing medical conditions prior to adoption
Prior training (if any) varies for each dog
Adoption fees vary for each dog
