Adopting from the Sanctuary

Adopting a ‘Sanctuary animal’ is a wonderful thing to do, and gives hope to many of the unwanted animals that we see so frequently. However always remember that taking on a new member of the family is a big commitment, and not something to be taken lightly. Find out more about the adoption process. Click here

All of our animals whether dogs, cats or smaller pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs have different needs, and have come from different environments. For this reason, if you do decide you would like to adopt an animal, we aim to match your needs and living arrangements to the needs of our animals.

With this in mind, it also pays to consider the type of animal you would like, and the experience you have. Sometimes, the dog you like the look of may not be the best suited to your family.

Remember, we are always here to advise, and offer any help we can.

Finally, it can take time for your new pet to settle in, so it is worth bearing in mind what is happening in your life when your new addition arrives; have you got a holiday booked a big party or event which would mean the animal might become stressed with too many changes going on.

What next

Once you have decided that you definitely are ready to adopt, here is what you need to do.

Come and visit us at the Sanctuary and speak to our staff about what you are looking for and they will be happy to help you in every way they can. Each of them know about our animals past homes and can direct you to the most suitable pet for you.

If however, we don’t have an animal we feel suitable at the time, we will of course keep your details on file and make sure we contact you as soon as the right dog / cat / rabbit comes in.
