Adoption Procedure
We hope you feel you can offer one of our dogs a loving home and look forward to hearing from you.
Four Simple Steps:
Step 1.
Please contact us to register your interest in one of our dogs.
Either phone 01653 694888 and speak to Alan or Judith Evans
or
Email us at: enquiries@ryedaledogrescue.com
Step 2.
We will then arrange an informal and friendly home visit to chat about the dog you are interested in and whether he or she will be suitable for you.
Wherever possible we will arrange to bring our dog on the home visit so that you can meet in a friendly and informal environment and have some time together to get to know each other before you make your decision.
If we are unable to bring our dog to see you then we will invite you to visit the kennels where we board our dogs.
Step 3.
If you wish to go ahead with the adoption we will first of all offer you a trial period of 1 week. Our dog will stay with you and you will be responsible for its welfare as if you had completed the adoption. This is an important time as it enables you to consider all the pros and cons of having a dog before you make the final step of adopting the dog.
Previous adopters have commented on how useful this period is as it enables them to think with their head and not just with their heart! Fortunately the majority of trials work out and the dogs are adopted.
Step 4.
After the trial period we will visit you again to arrange the adoption and to check how you are getting on.
ADOPTION FEE:
£125.00
This includes worming, flea treatment, vaccinations and Micro-chipping.
We also offer a subsidised neutering scheme:
£30 for a boy
£50 for a girl
When you are ready to neuter your pet we will help with the cost providing you take your adopted dog to one of the many vets participating in the scheme. Don't worry there should be one local to you.
We will require a payment of £30 if you have a boy or £50 if you have a bitch. We will then meet the rest of the cost ourselves.
