About Us

Closer to Home Animal Advocates (CTHAA) is a 501(c) nonprofit organization. We are a group of caring individuals who work to find forever homes for Norwegian Elkhounds, Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, and sometimes other breeds as our hearts lead us. We are dedicated to placing dogs that have been abandoned, neglected, or whose present homes cannot keep them any longer.

All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies, heartworm tested, and on heartworm preventative medication. CTHAA strives to find the best match between the dog and the new forever home. Our goal is to place each dog into a permanent home where it will become a loved and cared for member of the household. We do not have a shelter facility. All of our dogs are housed in foster homes.

Adopting a friend

If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, please click here for our online adoption application or e-mail us if you have questions. Our adoption process consists of having you fill out an application which includes veterinarian and personal references. Once these references have been checked, we will schedule a home visit. The home visit is not meant to invade your privacy. We only want to make sure that your home is safe and prepared for your new pet. At that time you will be required to complete an Adoption Contract with CTHAA.

Foster Homes Needed!

We are looking for people interested in providing foster homes for our rescued Norwegian Elkhounds, Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes until we can place them in their forever homes. Please complete our Adoption Application and be sure to note on the application that you are interested in fostering (Foster Application is the same as the Adoption Application). Please e-mail us if you have questions about fostering.
