2019 - Rehoming Questionnaire

1
How it Works

Dog Adoption offers a simple, reliable and safe program to help you place your pet from your loving home directly to another.

Importantly, you maintain full control about where your dog is finally placed because:

you are never forced to surrender your dog to us and

you can withdraw your dog at any time if you choose to keep it.

3
It is extremely hard to rehome your own dog as objectivity is compromised, especially when mixed with emotions, work and family pressures - or simply being time poor.

If done correctly, screening is extremely time consuming (sometimes 30 hours or more) and requires experience, IT skills, access to back ground evidence and insight.

NEVER Rehome Your Own Dog By Yourself

Scammers are smooth, persuasive and well rehearsed.

Meeting someone once in a park is NOT enough, no matter how nice they seem.

'Going it alone' risks pitfalls and dangers including:

dog fighting rings,

on-selling,

bonded pairs being separated,

never to sleep inside again,

surrendered to a pound or shelter if the placement fails,

being told what you want to hear and not the truth,

a dominant family member you never met overides the wishes of the person who made promises to you.

Unfortunately, the Dog Adoption rehoming program is not designed for people with deadlines.

We recommend you contact a registered charitable shelter or rescue as they receive funds from the community for emergencies.

Regrettably, you may need to surrender your dog(s), have limited say in the placement and have varying safe gudards if the placement fails - as this sector is not regulated.
