At the foot of each dog's listing is an option which you can use for further information. However please note we may not be able to answer your enquiry:
- We cannot answer specific questions about this dogs likes or dislikes or go into any further details regarding health or behaviour issues. These will be clarified in the event you are selected by our rehomer who will send you the dog's full profile
- If this dog is no longer available the listing will show “Reserved” or "Rehomed"
- If we have stated that this dog can only go with children over a certain age it will be for a reason. Please do not ask us to consider children younger than stated. This rule is for the safety of your children and isn’t a decision taken lightly.
- To apply you need to complete the required information by clicking the “Show An Interest” box on the listing. If you are not yet registered you will need to do that first.
- All available photos will be included in the listing, we will be unable to forward you any other photos
- You will be unable to meet the dog unless you are selected and vetted, due to the high theft risk in our breed we cannot disclose the location of the dog. It is also unfair on the owner in the event the dog is still in its home as this is a very difficult time for them
Why we only rehome within 2 hours of the dog’s current location
There are 2 reasons for the 2 hour rule, firstly we have over 1000 people waiting for 200 dogs, every person on the waiting list thinks they are a good home but to make it fair to everyone and to make it a little easier for our rehomer we try to keep applications local to the dog so the same volunteer can deal with the rehoming from start to finish. You can of course apply for dogs outside of your area but any dog listed under 2 years old can have as many as 75 people apply for it so we will look at the people in the dog's own area first. The second reason is that we have in the past (and although it happens very very occasionally it has happened more times then we'd like) the journey has been too long for the dog and it has died on the way home. Subsequently we are extremely careful as to how long we will allow a dog to travel and it seems daft to send a dog on a 5 hour trip if there is the perfect home an hour up the road. Everyone says they would stop on the way back but experience has taught us that stopping can make a scared dog more scared when you repeatedly take him out the car and then stress him further by putting him back in again. I hope you understand, we have over 16 years’ experience behind all of our ways and policies and some of these have been learnt the hard way - the travelling time being one of them
