please note: while we try to keep the re-homing page as up to date as possible, it is advisable to ring the number provided with the animal's details to check availability, as they may already have been rehomed, fostered or reserved.

DO YOU WANT TO ADOPT A CAT OR DOG???
Please note, homechecks are done before any of our animals are rehomed and we do ask for a donation, hopefully to help cover the cost of vaccinations, neutering, worming etc.

Adoption Conditions:

1. If you do not allow dogs/cats in the house..

2. If your garden is not fully enclosed by walls or secure fencing (not hedges)

3. If there is nobody at home all day (in the case of a dog)

4. If you have children under seven in the family. This is for your child’s protection and the protection of our animals

5. If anybody in the family is unsure about a dog/cat/rabbit/rat/hamster

PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR ONE OF OUR animals AS REFUSAL OFTEN OFFENDS.
..and YES, we do homechecks and follow ups!
