Rescue Dog Adoption Application

(POTENTIAL ADOPTERS PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR SUGGESTED MINIMUM ADOPTION FEE HAS INCREASED TO £400 - WE REGRET THIS INCREASE WHICH IS DUE TO THE RISING OVERHEAD COSTS OF VETERINARY CARE AND TRANSPORT)

We ask that all adopters complete this questionnaire. The form is rather long and we apologise for this.
It is in no way meant to pry into your lives but it is to help us know that full consideration and thought has been taken prior to you adopting a Romanian rescue dog. Many have had traumatic experiences with people but we trust the Romanian rescuers that we work with to give us an honest description of the dogs we are hoping to help, so that we can best match them up with the homes offered.
Please answer truthfully. We aim to protect both you and the dogs from any unnecessary disruption or upset. Please also read our FAQ's page - Thank you.
