Adopt a dog
Giving a home to an abandoned or unwanted rescue dog is probably one of the most rewarding experiences humans can have. However, it is important to realise that you will be taking on a serious commitment, and that your new dog will depend on you for its entire life – often up to 15 years.
We always have dogs of all ages, sizes and shapes, and all have different personalities, temperaments and needs. Some may need an extra-special new home, others may need owners with experience of their particular breed and some may not be suitable to share their new home with small children. Always keeping our dogs’ characteristics and previous experiences in mind, we do our best to match the right owner with the right dog on an individual basis.
If you are considering taking a new companion into your home and family, please consider that you will need time and patience to allow for your new dog to settle in, as well as spend time on any training he or she may need. If you have small children, they should always be supervised around your new dog to avoid harm coming to either of them.
When choosing a new dog we strongly recommend that all members of the family the dog will be living with come and meet the potential new family member and, of course, vice versa.
Also please bear in mind that a dog you see, or a particular breed you may have set your heart on, may not actually be the most suitable dog for you or your circumstances.
The adoption process
When visiting our kennels in search of a new addition to the family, you will be asked to complete an adoption enquiry form to help us to find the pet that best matches you and your home environment.
So, please visit our kennels and join our adoption register. Our staff, who know each dog’s previous circumstances and personality well, will only be too pleased to help you make that important decision. In the meantime, please visit our Dogs Available for Adoption pages to see the variety of dogs that are currently looking for a home of their own.
To make the adoption process as easy as possible, you can download our Adoption Application Form by clicking on the link below, complete it in the comfort of your home and save yourself time when you call in to visit us.
Unlike many other rescue centres we make no specific 'charge' for adoption, but we do now ask for a minimum donation of fifty pounds. And we hope that you will make a donation of whatever you can afford to assist us in our work.
