If you are aged 60 or over then we require you to provide a rescue back-up contact (this could be a friend or family member) who would assume full responsibility for the dog if you are no longer able to take care of them at any point. The back-up person must be under 60 years of age and be prepared to care for the dog until the end of its life. This ensures that the dog does not end up back in rescue.
I am under the age of 60, therefore this does not apply to me
I am aged 60 years or over and will provide you with details of my back up person

We will complete a virtual video homecheck during the application process. This is to provide advice on settling your dog in and to check the safety and security of your house and garden. We do this homecheck via a video call through WhatsApp, FaceTime or Facebook Messenger so you must have a smart phone/tablet and an account through one of these apps. Do you agree to have a virtual homecheck?

The adopter will need to sign the documents to adopt a dog so you must have your own email address. All contracts are sent via email and must go directly to you. Do you have your own email address which you will provide in this application?

Rescue puppies from Romania behave differently to those in the UK. They often arrive quite nervous of new people and places, and they require a lot of time and patience to build up their confidence. We require puppies to be taken to puppy training classes and doggy daycare for 6 months as it is vital for proper socialisation and positive reinforcement training. Do you agree to take them to puppy training classes, doggy day care for 6 months?
YESNO

Your puppy is a blank canvas when it arrives and everything it experiences affects how it develops. If your puppy develops any behavioural issues, you must work through them with advice and guidance from IDR and, if necessary, a local dog trainer. Do you agree to work through issues with advice and engage a dog trainer if required?

Only when they are fully settled in (at least 7/8 months old) and comfortable being left alone should you leave them for multiple hours in the day (maximum 5 hours). If you do need to leave the puppy then how will you ensure that they are provided enough exercise and stimulation, and are able to go out for toilet breaks?
