The dogs & cats in our care are with us because they have been found abandoned/dumped on the streets or in remote areas.  We try to locate the owners by informing the relevant authorities and posting on our Facebook page.  Most of the dogs are well balanced, well adjusted dogs that are with us through no fault of their own and will make excellent pets once matched with the right families. A small number of dogs have issues, which with training and patience can be completely cured or managed by owners who have previous experience with dogs.

As we do not have a shelter the dogs are in foster homes mainly but we do have to use paid kennels if we can not find a foster home.  Home Visits are carried out before any dog is adopted.

We make every effort to ensure that all our dogs go to caring homes that are suited to their individual needs and temperaments. We home dogs as family pets and never home dogs to guard premises or for breeding.

We get many calls from people who like the idea of giving a home to a rescue dog but may not have given much thought about the practicalities of keeping a dog. Below is a checklist of some of the things that we are looking for when we rehome a dog. Please make sure you fulfill the following requirements before you contact us.

• The dog will be allowed in the house and be part of the family. We do NOT re-home dogs that will be kept outside all the time, our dogs are to be house pets no matter what size they are. We prefer the dog to sleep in the house at night.
• You have a secure fenced or walled garden so the dog cannot get out onto the road.  Our dogs are not allowed to be let roam, we will refuse a home offer if we believe the dog will be able to roam.
• You have permission from your landlord if you live in rented accommodation and we will require a contact number to confirm with the landlord.
• You have sufficient time to give the dog a daily walk.
• If you already have pets they must be up to date with vaccinations & spayed/neutered as part of the adoption agreement is adopted animals must be vaccinated yearly and pups be spayed/neutered, if current pet is not vaccinated, spayed/neutered it can be interpreted by us that an adopted dog will not be vaccinated, neutered/spayed when due.
• We do not adopt puppies to families that are away from the home for more than 4-5 hours a day. Puppies need owners with time to play with them and train them in order to grow into well socialized obedient dogs. Children must be over 6 years of age for a family to adopt a dog unless they already have/had a family dog or have experience of dogs at other family members homes, pups nip, bite, scratch and young children do not understand how to handle an adult dog/ puppy correctly as they are just too young to comprehend puppy’s and their traits or warning signs from adult dogs.  The dogs are our priority getting them the right home and so is the safety of children, dogs are animals at the end of the day.
• Pups must be spayed/neutered by new owner at 6 months (date will be on adoption form) and we require your vets to email confirmation, if not adhered to we will take the dog back.  BREEDING from our pups is not an option and we are very strict on the neuter/spay of the pups.
• Dogs/Puppies are not adopted out as presents or surprises for children or family members and the entire family must be in agreement to adoption and all family members including pets at the home visit.
• We will not adopt an animal to anyone under 21 years of age.
