Rescue and rehoming 

​​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

We offer a rehoming service for puppies under 6 months of age and we can also assist owners in finding new homes for dogs of any age who were bred by us or sired by our stud boys provided all possible options to retain the dog have been exhausted or an owner has passed away.
What we are not here for is to support or encourage a throw away attitude and offer a drop-off point for people who have simply got fed up with their pets! Or who have chucked the towel in when times have become challenging.

When buying a dog You have both a legal and moral obligation to care for your dog and educate it to be a good member of society regardless of changes in your personal circumstance. Or time commitments.
People considering moving house , changing their job or who are unfortunately involved in a breakdown of relationships should take a dog into consideration as you would a any other family member.

When we do take dogs into our care our emphasis is on rehoming,

We do not sell dogs for people who no longer want them,

Dogs that are put up for rehoming through us are done so without any financial recompense for their owners and that is without exception whether you’ve owned  the dog 1 day or 12 years..

 

Sadly we can not rehome dogs with multiple medical conditions or those that are very elderly or who have a bite history, simply because there are no good homes out there for these dogs and dogs that bite can pose a risk to the public.

​

 Prior to giving up your dog for rehoming you should have addressed every possible alternative so things such as -

​

Residential training to resolve behavioural issues.

​

 Assessment by a canine psychologist and veterinary surgeon for dogs who have bitten.

​

 Day boarding or the use of walking services or walk my dog type facilities for those who have had changes to their daily routine./family make up.

​

 Enquiring about fostering if issues are likely to be temporary.

​

we are happy to advise you on appropriate places to seek this type of assistance.

​

Only once you have  explored all  these options  should you consider your dog  meets the criteria for needing rehoming.

​

For advice and assistance, please initially contact Katy by email
 

​

 Rescues/rehomes are generally family pets  some may have minor behavioural issues that need addressing, others have become available through no fault of their own.
