Rehoming Guidelines

Before completing an Adoption Application Form, please read the following guidelines carefully:

• We do not rehome to homes with children under 10 years of age.

• If you do not own your own property, we will need confirmation that your landlord has given permission for a dog.

• Any garden must be fully enclosed, secure and for the sole use of the applicant.

• Dogs should not be left home alone for long periods. We assess each application individually and ask that you provide details of your daily routine and working hours.

• Any resident dogs must be neutered/spayed and able to meet their potential new family member.

• Where possible, we will advise if a dog may be able to live with cats. Unfortunately, this is not something we can safely assess for every dog.

• We generally rehome within approximately 100 miles of our base in Rochdale, although we may consider applications slightly outside this area.

• Families will need to be able to visit to meet the dog and return for adoption if the match is successful.

The Rehoming Process

• If you see a dog you would like to offer a home to, please complete our Adoption Application Form. This gives us some initial information about you, your home and the type of dog you are looking for.

• Once we have received your enquiry, if successful, a member of our team will contact you to discuss your application in more detail and answer any questions you may have.

• If everybody is happy after he initial chat stage and we feel a dog may be a suitable match, we will arrange a home check. This helps us ensure that your home and lifestyle are suitable for the dog's needs.

• All members of the household will be invited to meet the dog, either at their foster home or boarding kennels. If you already have a dog, they will also need to attend so introductions can take place.

• If everyone is happy and the match is successful, we will arrange an adoption date and your new family member can come home.

• Our support doesn't end when a dog is adopted. We offer lifetime support and are always happy to help with advice and guidance whenever needed.

Every dog deserves a safe, loving home where they can thrive. If you feel you could offer one of our dogs the time, care and commitment they deserve, we would love to hear from you.
