Rehoming Process 

If you are in the unfortunate position of having to rehome your Sprocker, for whatever reason, please contact us by completing the Owner Surrender form.  Once we receive this, we will contact you for an informal chat to see how we can best help you.    Please do be honest when completing the form; we aren’t here to judge, we’re here to help you and your Sprocker and to do that we need to find the best match.

If you are experiencing behavioural issues, we ask that you contact your vet for a health check in the first instance to rule out any underlying health issues. Our behaviourist will then give you a call to help you manage the behaviours until we can place your Sprocker with an experienced foster.  The foster will continue working with your dog and our behaviourist to prepare him or her for rehoming.  Once they are ready, we will contact the best match we can find for your Sprocker and arrange for their adoption

We ask that you provide us with up to date medical records, microchip number and any personal things you wish to hand over with your dog.  Their favourite bedding and toys will help them settle into their new home

If your dog has no behavioural issues or health problems, we may be able to place the dog directly with their new home.

We realise this will be a highly emotional time for you and we are here to support both you and your dog

Sprocker Assist will do our utmost to ensure that no rehomeable animal in our care is put to sleep, but we do reluctantly accept that in certain circumstances, the difficult decision to euthanise an animal has to be taken.

When considering euthanasia, SAR’s decisions are based on

• Preventing pain or suffering (including mental and emotional).
• If an animal poses an unacceptable risk to people or to other animals.
• If quality of life for the animal is compromised to an unacceptable degree, with no realistic prospect of improvement.Our euthanasia policy
