What is a Direct Adoption versus a PCTC Adoption?
A Direct Referral Adoption occurs when Rescue hears about a Cairn that needs a new home. The dog may be in a shelter or still living with its owner. Rescue does not claim to know anything about the history of the dog or its temperament and the dog is not part of the PCTC Rescue program. Rescue simply informs you of the Cairn and it’s up to you to work with the shelter or owner in pursuing the adoption of the Cairn. PCTC’s involvement with the adoption process ends with referring you to the shelter or owner.
