Adopting a dog is a life time commitment. Choosing the right dog, the dog that best suits your needs and lifestyle, is therefore very important. The purpose of this Questionnaire is to assist Staffy Rescue in choosing the right dog for you.

It may be that after speaking/meeting with you, we decide that none of the dogs currently at the Staffy Rescue shelter is the dog for you. If this is the case, we will be honest and tell you this. But we would also like you to keep looking at the Available Dogs on our website – dogs are regularly coming and going and it is likely that a suitable dog will come into the shelter before very long.

We endeavour to answer all enquiries within 7 days of receipt.

By sending this electronically, I acknowledge that I have completely read this questionnaire and comprehend it fully. I certify that the above information is correct, and I understand that the information will be verified.

We thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.
