Our rehoming policy, or lack of...

Unlike many rescues we don't have a fixed criteria for you to offer a forever home to one of our canines.

We don't say if you live in a flat with no garden that your home is unsuitable.  As long as you have the time and commitment to offer the dog the exercise and stimulation it needs then that's all we ask.

If you have a garden we don't insist that you need 6' fences - which some dogs can clear anyway (if we know the dog you are interested in jumps, we will of course let you know!).

What we look for is someone who can offer the dog a loving caring forever home.

Some rescues won't rehome a puppy to you if you have a baby.  If this is your case then you do need to carefully consider that a puppy will need training, it will need to learn, it will push it's bounderies.  Will you be able to cope when you have your baby in your arms and the puppy starts doing something it shouldn't and you need to promptly step in?  We don't like to say no, but we have had puppies returned and that does no good for the the poor puppy whose already probably in their 4th home.

Consider your finances.  A canine can be fed quite cost effectively on a proper balanced diet, vaccinations can often be had for £15/year, and your canine will come neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to go.  But what if there is a change in your circumstances?  Will you still be able to provide care for your chosen canine?  We want to find a forever home for the canine - it's the least they deserve, so whilst we will always take them back, that should really be at the last resort.  If you would return the dog within only a week of loosing your job, then think carefully before you offer a rescue a new home.  We would also always recommend dog insurance in case of veterinary care.
