The adoption process
What to expect on your adoption journey
Thank you so much for looking to adopt – it is such a wonderful gift to give an animal a second chance. We see a wide range of breeds and characters here at the rehoming centre, taking in on average 15 animals every week, so we know we can help you find a perfect companion and friend.
Adopting is an exciting journey, we welcome you!
Please note that you cannot walk around the catteries and kennels as our cats and dogs find this very stressful, but instead you start here online.
1. Fill in a form and send in photos of your house and garden.
2. We will call you for a chat about what you are looking for, and tell you about any potential matches we can make.
If we cannot match you, we will explain why and let you know about next steps. It may be that adoption isn't right for you, at this time.
JUNE 2025. We are experiencing high demand in applications. We are working through in turn but please expect a delay in response. Thank you for your patience.
3. You come in to meet your matches.
4. Adopt!
It can take time to find the right match for you, so please keep an open mind on what you are looking for and trust our expert Rehoming team. We promise that all of our rescues are worth the wait!
