Adoption Process

The needs of the dogs are ALWAYS our priority when we consider the best matches for them.  We please ask you to keep this in mind when completing your adoption form and appreciate that it might not be a fast process.

In the last year, a few more challenging dogs have come to us and we have changed the way we work with these dogs.  They will be placed in a foster home with experienced Sprocker fosters who will work with our behaviourist to put the best practices in place to bring out the best in the dog before rehoming.

When completing the application form, please be as honest and thorough as possible.  We read each and every application that comes through to us and will match the dog to the applicant that best fits the dog’s needs.  Once we find your match, we will arrange with one of our volunteers to carry out a homecheck for us.  Please do not ask the volunteer about the outcome of the homecheck.  They will not know

One this has been done and everything is satisfactory, we ask for two ‘meet and greets’ (one of which should be with all the members living in the family home and the dog if you have one).

Should the meet and greets go well, we will then send you an adoption form for your signature and arrange transport to get your dog home to you.  Please read through this carefully as the conditions on the adoption forms are non-negotiable

All our dogs come with 5 weeks free insurance provided by Agria insurance and we will arrange for their microchip to be re-registered to you

Please note there is a non-refundable adoption donation needed for all our dogs.  All monies donated go back into the rescue
