Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does the Process Take?
Once we have your completed application form and we have a suitable dog available our volunteers work extremely quickly to arrange meetings and get your pet settled into their new home – sometimes even the same day if all checks have been received!
How Much Does Adopting Cost?
Our Standard Adoption Fee is £300. All our dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered and come with 5 weeks free pet insurance.
What Is the Difference Between Adopting and Fostering?
When you adopt a dog you become totally responsible for the wellbeing and welfare of the dog including all vetinary care.
Sometimes the rescue will appeal for a fosterer for a dog until a home can be found. This is usually for dogs that are not doing particularly well in kennels or may be young or poorly. While a fosterer has the same responsibility for the wellbeing and welfare of the dog in their care, the rescue will remain responsible for all food and veterinary costs.
I am unable to adopt a dog immediately - can I reserve a dog?
Our aim is to get dogs into their new forever home as quickly as possible in order that the time they spend in kennels is as short a possible therefore we will only accept applications from potential adopters that are in a position to take dogs immediately all checks are cleared
I work full time - can I still adopt a dog?
Dogs require mental stimulation as well as exercise and so we judge every case on its individual merits – so talk to us about your situation.
