Our Fees
Our adoption fee is £350.00 for each dog.
For puppies under 6 months, the adoption fee is £450.00.
To meet the heavily rising costs of veterinary care—including standard neutering, vaccinations, and complex procedures like dentals, which now average £700 per dog—we have updated our adoption fees. Our puppy adoption fee directly subsidises the vital medical care of our older, vulnerable residents who require extra help before finding their forever homes.
All our dogs receive the best possible care during their stay with us, and the cost of their care is usually always beyond the adoption fee.
Dogs are fully assessed in lots of different situations and environments before being put up for adoption, along with Health Checks and any treatment or health problems fully disclosed on a very detailed profile provided under “Dogs for Adoption”.
First vaccination & health check (2nd vaccination if taken back to our Vet’s or the dog is with us long enough). Our dogs always receive treatment for any health problem that is found – for example ear infections, dentals problems etc before they leave our care. All of which can be transferred to new owners Vet’s on adoption completion
- Flea/wormer
- Neutering (unless under 1 year of age or a medical condition). If adopting a puppy or younger dog you will be expected to meet the costs of neutering at your Vet’s as part of the adoption agreement when the dog is old enough.
- Microchip and transfer into new owner’s name.
- 4 weeks free insurance with Petplan for Sickness & Injury plus additional month free if continued.
We provide ongoing support for the lifetime of the dog. We know things change and issues may crop up, so we want to ensure our adopters always feel supported.
If there are ever issues we cannot resolve, or changes in circumstance which cannot be overcome, we offer full rescue backup for the lifetime of our dogs – this means they will always be rehomed by us after all avenues are explored.
