The Adoption Process
First, choose a dog from our website or from Savour Life.
FOR VIEWINGS
As we are run by volunteers, we do require that you make an appointment to view our dogs. Please contact us below to book a day/time.
FOR ADOPTIONS
Step 1) PREPARATION
Read our Terms & Conditions below and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online and then complete the "Adoption Application".
We need to talk to you and get a feel for your home, lifestyle and why you are looking to rescue and rehome one of our dogs.
To commence the application process we require:
-
Proof of landlord approval to have a dog at your home if you rent
-
Photo ID with your address on it – so we know you are who you say you are
-
Adequate funds for – adoption fee; any beds, leads, collars, dog food or other items you need to make your dog comfy in his or her new home. All dogs must leave with a flat collar and lead.
Step 3) MEET & GREET
Once we find you a doggy match we need to introduce him/ her to all members of your family, including other dogs and cats! To save time for our volunteers, we need to ensure that all paperwork is in order before we arrange a meet and greet with your other pets.
Step 4) ADOPTION
-
With all of the hard work out of the way, it should just be a matter of organising a time for pick up (this may be during the meet and greet, or at a later time)
-
Payment of adoption fees.
Please understand that a pet is a responsibility that you are agreeing to take on for the lifetime of the pet.
