The Adoption Process

If you are ready to adopt a dog, and have read our Adoption Guide thoroughly, we would love to talk to you further about reserving a dog with us.

 

Adoption Steps

Firstly, we will ask you to complete and return our

Pre-Adoption Questionnaire so that we can assess your suitability.

If we think that you may be a suitable adopter, we will also contact you to send us a comprehensive video of your home and garden, which should include all entrances to and from your accommodation, and also show us the full perimeter of your garden with special attention to your access points and fencing/walls (which must be 5ft+).

At this point, we will ask for two forms of ID to confirm your identity and address:

You will need to provide:

  1. Photo ID that includes your address and signature (e.g. driver’s licence, passport)

  2. A recent bill that verifies your name and address.

After we have reviewed all of the information submitted and are happy that your chosen dog will be a good fit for you (and you for it), we will ask you for a £100 deposit to secure the dog.

This reservation fee is non-refundable should you change your mind. However, if you do fail the subsequent home check, we will refund your money.

If your application and home check is successful, we will ask for the remainder of your adoption fee around 1-2 weeks before travel.

Adoption fees depend on the dog you are adopting, e.g. their age and location.

Please contact us for more information.
