The Paw Project UK Adoption Application

The Paw Project UK Rescue Dog Adoption Application
The Paw Project UK believe that everyone should get the chance to adopt a wonderful dog. We are an equal opportunity rehoming facility with an open mind to alternative living solutions. We don’t believe that you have to have a house to be a good dog owner.

Our adoption fee for Romanian dogs is £490, inclusive of your £75 reservation fee. This consists of tests, vaccines, flea and worming, neutering or spaying where appropriate and transport.

Fees are not refundable if the adoption is cancelled by you.

Puppies can only travel at five months old to reduce the risk of any complications on transport. The travel date will be given in advance but can be subject to change, if required and if in the pup's best interests.

Please answer with as much detail as possible, avoiding yes/no answers where possible. This is our first insight into whether you are suitable to adopt a dog - one worded and short responses may result in your application being rejected. Thank you!
