Our comprehensive process - Initial contact - We receive calls about dogs needing help - surrendered (owner circumstances changed), found (strays exceeding 7-day pound limits before euthanasia), or removed (welfare concerns). Foster placement - We require foster homes, which are increasingly difficult to find. Our South-West network often operates at capacity. When fosterers are full, we're unfortunately forced to turn dogs away. We desperately need fosterers. If you can help, please contact us. Adoption preparation includes: - Learning behaviour, obedience, socialisation, temperament, needs and habits - Veterinary assessments for health, parasites, and neutering requirements - Socialising with dogs and humans, addressing aggression or anxiety - Training for improved adoption prospects - Individual care plans for each dog's specific needs Application process - Contact us & we send application forms requesting personal information, circumstances and home details. More information improves matching accuracy. We consider all factors affecting dog welfare: application elements may result in rejection solely to ensure perfect matches. Our mission is rehoming once - we must be rigorous to ensure dogs receive best lives and never feel unsafe again. Home assessment - Approved applications receive home visits checking adoption suitability. These friendly visits ensure appropriate matches and successful permanent placements. When satisfied, we confirm adoption proceedings and arrange fee coverage for any outstanding veterinary bills (disclosed in advance). Post-adoption support - We check progress after placement and celebrate successful integrations through updates and photos showing dogs safe and happy. Then we prepare for the next rescue... ❤️
