Rescue Pets Advice
|
In the best interest of the dog and your family we try to ensure that you have taken your time to consider fully the impact that your new dog will have on your life and to ensure that you are able to provide for it’s needs including health, training and financial support.
As a responsible rescue organisation we ensure that dogs are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before going home. Where vaccination or neutering is not possible prior to leaving, we will follow up to ensure this happens as quickly as possible after re-homing. We also conduct home visits as part of supporting a successful rehoming. We ask £200 towards our costs.

If you are interested in one of our rescues, you, your family and any other dogs you have should come and meet the rescue. If this is successful, then you may reserve the dog. At this point, we stop showing the dog to anyone else and organise a home visit. After a successful home visit, you may come and collect the dog.
We ask when taking on any dog you anticipate the time required to build the relationship and support it’s training needs whilst it learns what is expected of it. It is normal to expect to have some level of housetraining and behavioural work with all animals, especially puppies. |
For this reason, we will not rehome to a family where the dog is left for long periods at home without company. If you are renting, we will need to see proof that your landlord has given you permission for that pet. If you share a house, we need commitment from all members of the household towards the animal's future.
The person who’s name appears on the adoption paperwork will be legally responsible for the animal and anything arising from that ownership and therefore must be over 18 and must be aware of the their legal responsibilities. See our page on responsible dog ownership. “With a recent BBC documentary team revealing that one in three dogs bought in the UK are from puppy farms, it is more important than ever for more people to take on rescue to stop the trade in puppies. |
