Like many rescues and shelters across the country, we are experiencing the busiest time in our nearly 50-year history. The pandemic, financial squeeze and a host of other factors have combined in a perfect storm. We are always appreciative of the generous support we receive and are often asked in what ways people can help. We do have a page that lists most of the options available, although it is a large and not very user-friendly page so we're starting a new regular feature to call out the individual opportunities and so make people aware of what they can hopefully engage in.
We're starting with the biggest and most important of all the ways to help and that's adopting our dogs. Not only does this support our primary focus, but in these tight times, it helps free up resources and make the difference if we can rescue another dog or not. Many of our rescues require specific conditions for the dogs and we know that not everyone's circumstances allow them to adopt - much as they'd love to. Here everyone can help by sharing our posts about these dogs as far and wide as you can - the further we can reach the more likely we'll find a new home for another dog.
Below we have a short piece in text and image form to make it nice and easy to share on any platform.
ADOPTING
The ultimate goal for any of the dogs we rescue is to set them up in a new, loving home and so enable them to live the life they deserve and not the one they’ve suffered. We have an established process to ensure the best possible match between the dog and their new family.
If the dog has complex medical needs then we can help with advice and financial support. If the dog has certain behaviours then appropriate restrictions will be required for the safety and comfort of you and the dog.
Taking in a dog and aiding them in rehabilitating into a new life is incredibly rewarding. If you’re interested in sharing this journey then you can learn more about the adoption process here:
