Having received guidance from the government and the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH), we will be restarting our dog and cat adoptions with a few changes to our usual process.
Please note that, until further notice, we will be delivering adopted animals to their new homes.
We will be accepting applications to adopt from people who meet the following criteria:
We have both cats and dogs available for adoption. We will also be adding new animals to the website when they are ready.
The adoption process will be done remotely.
Step one
Take a look at our dogs and cats to see whether there is one that you like and that you meet the requirements for.
Step two
Fill out either a dog application form or a cat application form.
Step three
If you are a suitable candidate for the animal you have applied for, you will be called by a member of our adoption team for a telephone interview.
Step four
If your telephone interview is successful, we will arrange a ‘video call home visit’. During this video call, we will need you to show us around your house and garden to ensure that it’s suitable for the animal. We will also arrange an animal ‘meeting’ by video call so that you can see the animal and they can hear your voice.
Step five
We will take the payment of your adoption fee over the phone and arrange a time for us to drop off your new best friend. Please note—if you are adopting a dog, you will need a front garden or enclosed outdoor area accessible from the road in order for us to safely deliver your dog to you.
We will carry out a post-adoption home visit once restrictions have been lifted.
