How To Adopt Our adoption is simple. You're just 4 steps away from having your new companion at home with you. We aim to pair you with a dog that will fit perfectly into your life, ensuring the adoption is happy and their new home really is forever. Step One: Get in touch with us If you've seen a dog on our website that you're interested in, get in touch. We like to have an informal chat with you so we can work out whether or not we think the dog will be compatible with you and your lifestyle. When adopting a new dog it's important to take the following into consideration:
Step Two: You visit the dog at the Sanctuary This step is always favourite with prospective adopters. Once we think we've found the dog for you it's time to arrange for you to come and meet them. We encourage this as it's important for both you and the dog to get to know each other. Please make sure you contact us to book a time for you to come in. Step Three: We complete a home check Free of charge one of our team will come and assess your house and property. Don't worry, we're not looking at when you last hoovered, we just want to see that you can provide a safe environment for your new dog. This includes the security of the garden, how high fences are, how close your house is to the main road, how secure your house is. Step Four: Your new dog moves in If all parties involved are happy that you and your new dog are compatible and will thrive together then it's time to sign the paper work, pay the pre-agreed adoption donation* and then welcome the newest member of your family to their forever home. | The small print: • All adopted dogs come with 5 weeks pet insurance. • *The adoption donation is a non-returnable donation to Snowdonia Animal Sanctuary towards its dog's fund and is usually £150. • If you are unable to keep the dog for any reason, it must be returned to the Sanctuary. If you wish to find new owners yourself the Sanctuary requires that they are able to perform the house check of any prospective adopters. There's no fee for this. • Dogs adopted from the Sanctuary should not be put to sleep except on genuine medical grounds. Dogs should not be put to sleep if they develop inappropriate behaviour, even if advised to do so by a canine professional. Just return them to the Sanctuary or contact us for advice. |
