Rehoming FAQs
Why are your rehoming criteria so thorough?
We aim to give rescued animals the best possible home based on their needs. Our rehoming criteria reflects the needs of that particular species and ensures they will be happy both physically and mentally in their new home.
What happens if I am unsuccessful in my rehoming application?
Not every home is a perfect match. Sometimes there is a more suitable match available, or it may be that there are elements of your home environment that don’t meet our criteria. We will do our best to share any feedback with you on how you can improve your rehoming chances next time.
What happens if things change and I can no longer care for my rescued pet?
Once you rehome an animal, you are their legal owner. If your circumstances change talk to us to see if we can help by taking your pet back into our care and finding them a new home.
I already own another pet, can I still rehome from you?
We will ask you about your existing pets when you apply, and will assess each situation based on the animals’ needs. Depending on the animal you are seeking to rehome, you may be invited to visit with your pet (e.g. for a dog meet and greet, or rabbit bond) to see how they get along.
I’m a first-time pet owner, can I still apply to rehome?
If you are a first-time pet owner, think carefully about which type of animal may suit you best. We welcome first time owners for animals suited to more inexperienced rehomers.
Success Story
Beautiful Bow
Bow had many ups and downs throughout his time in rescue, but one thing that didn't change was his infectious love towards his carers.
Bow was one of those dogs that people overlooked because of his size and muzzle requirement. But behind the scenes, he was just a big lap dog, longing to have his head buried into your neck, give kisses and slide his belly across the carpet with a squeaky ball in his mouth.
But after spending 471 days in our care, Stacey and Peter took Bow home. We are so grateful for all the love and effort they put into Bow prior to adopting him, as well as all they are continuing to do for him in his new home.
Success Story
Wallace & Grommet
These cheeky boys were with us for 145 days before finding their perfect new home. We think ferrets are great domestic pets and indoor companions - and their new owner agrees!
"They are the best boys ever and suit my personality amazingly! ...a massive thanks to the team for all their help since the first email... they've been nothing but amazing!"
