If you see an animal here that you would like to re-home the first step is to contact us to for further details and we will reserve the animal for you if you wish to proceed. We are always happy to give help and advice about re-homing an animal.

The next step is to arrange with you to carry out a home visit which allows us to ensure the home is suitable and also gives you the opportunity to ask any further questions you may have about rehoming an animal. We aim to carry out home visits within a week of the animal being reserved.

During the home visit we are looking to see that:

You have a good understanding about the commitment involved in adopting your chosen animal.

A dog will not be left alone for more than 4-5 hours a day and will get a minimum of one 30 minute walk per day, all year round. 

A dog has a secure backyard or garden with fencing of a minimum of 6ft in height, although this may need to be higher depending on the size of the dog. 

You are willing to take a Dog to training classes/seek help if necessary. 

On completion of a successful home visit we will arrange with you to collect the animal and  their documents including vaccination card and microchip details.

Our adoption fees for dogs are £160 for adults dogs and £200 for puppies up to and including 6 months old. The cost includes neutering, flea control treatment, vaccination against Kennel cough, micro-chipping. 

From 27th March 2023 our cat adoption fees will be £85 for a cat, £95 for a kitten and £60 for a cat over 12 years old. Any cats currently on reserve will be honoured at the original adoption fee. The cost includes neutering, vaccination against Feline Infectious Enteritis and Influenza, micro-chipping.

Adoption fees are non-refundable, except under exceptional circumstances at the Branch's discretion.

Additional donations are greatly appreciated to help us to continue with our work.
