Doodle Trust Adoption Enquiry Form

Please note: No breed of dog is hypoallergenic, and Doodles are no exception.
If you suffer from allergies, we ask that you read the information supplied on our Allergies Page before you proceed.

If you are applying for a dog listed on our website, we will review your application and contact you if you are selected as a possible home for the dog you applied for.

If you are making a general enquiry, your application will be kept on file for one month. If a suitable dog becomes available, we will contact you. If you have not heard from us within one month and are still looking to adopt, please reapply.

Please complete your enquiry fully and in as much detail as possible, even if you think the questions are not relevant to you. These will help us to assess your suitability for the dog you have applied for. If a question does not apply to you, please type "N/A" in the space provided.

This enquiry is the first step in our adoption process. If you decide to proceed with an adoption, we will follow up on your application with a telephone interview and a home visit.

An adoption fee is required, which goes towards feeding, grooming, vets fees, and fostering expenses. The adoption fee is classed as a donation and is non-refundable.

It is our goal to place all rescued dogs into loving, conscientious forever homes, keeping in mind the dog's individual needs and matching each dog’s personality to that of the home in which they are placed. While adoption is open to all without personal discrimination, the final decision rests on whether the individual can meet the specific care requirements of the dog they are interested in. The welfare of the animal is our primary consideration.

PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION WILL RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF ADOPTION FEES AND ANY ANIMALS ADOPTED.

IMPORTANT

The information you have given above will remain on file for one month. After this period, this application will be destroyed. If you are still interested in adopting after one month, please apply using a new form.
Please let us know if you get a dog elsewhere in the meantime.

Please read carefully, as these conditions have to be adhered to if you adopt a Doodle. You will receive a copy of these conditions if you adopt a dog.

1/ In the event of any rescue dog being unable to remain in the care of the adoptive owner, Doodle Trust must be notified. The dog will not be rehomed by its adoptive owner or destroyed without consultation with Doodle Trust.

2/ An authorised member of Doodle Trust will be permitted to visit the prospective home, and then revisit the new home to ensure the dog and new owner are amicably established.

3/ The adopted dog will
[a] be suitably and regularly fed, watered, and exercised.
[b] not be kept tied up.
[c] have comfortable sleeping quarters.
[d] not be free to roam streets, or any other area, unaccompanied.
[e] wear identification at all times.
[f] not be bred from or used at stud (if not already neutered).
[g] be provided with veterinary attention as and when required.
[h] be groomed regularly, and the coat be kept in good condition.

4/ If it is found that the conditions of adoption are not adhered to, Doodle Trust will be entitled to reclaim possession of the adopted dog.

5/ Doodle Trust accept no responsibility as to description, condition, temperament, or health of the dog and gives no warranty of any kind, expressed or implied.

6/ Doodle Trust passes on information concerning the habits and history of the animal to the adopter in good faith. However, this is based on statements made by the previous owner, and there is no guarantee of reliability. Doodle Trust is unable, therefore, to accept any liability for any consequences whatsoever resulting from events attributable to the failure to give information or the transmission of wrong information.

7/ The dog is believed to be in normal health on leaving Doodle Trust except where specific conditions have been made known to the adopter in writing. It is regretted that Doodle Trust is unable to accept liability for expenses of any kind arising from sickness developed subsequently.

8/ In cases where a dog is known to possess a specific condition, the presence of which is notified to the adopter, the responsibility for and cost of future treatment shall be solely that of the adopter.

9/ Attention is drawn to the possible liability of those adopting animals for damage or injury that they may cause third parties or their property. In particular, liability may arise in negligence under Section 8 of the Animals Act 1971, and in the case of dogs, Section 3 of the Act imposes a general liability to the keeper of a dog for causing death or injury to livestock. The possibility of an action for nuisance should also be recognised.

10/ Doodle Trust strongly advises all adopters to arrange appropriate insurance cover against risks referred to above and the costs of veterinary treatment.

11/ The adoption fee for this dog is treated as a donation and is non-refundable.
