The adoption process

JUNE 2025. We're experiencing high demand in adoption applications. We're working through them in turn, but please expect a delay in response. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you so much for looking to adopt – it's 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 10 animals every week, so we know we can help you find the perfect companion and friend!

Adopting is an exciting journey – welcome!

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 an application form – we'll ask for some photos of your house and garden
2. We'll call you for a chat about what your'e looking for, and tell you about any potential pet matches. If we can't match you, we'll explain why and let you know about next steps. It may be that adoption isn't right for you at this time
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!
