PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
THE DOG WORLD IS BROKEN!!!!
As many of you may or may not know - RESCUE is in a pretty dreadful way currently! There are far more dogs than homes and whilst we are doing the very best we can, we are all feeling the strain!
As a long standing Rescue, we/I have never experienced times like this!
YES we have a process and YES it is stringent BECAUSE we work to try to ensure we 'get it right' for both dog and adopter - HOWEVER we are dealing with a HUGE NUMBER of time wasters! Applicants who have not thought it through, who have not discussed with their husband/family, who have 'forgotten' holidays booked in months to come etc etc!!!
- Please please take the time to read our process on the website, do not apply if you are not prepared to be questioned, advised or follow our guidelines! If you feel they will be invasive, please go to another rescue who may not have the same processes! The adoption process is there for a reason and from LONG TIME EXPERIENCE of thousands of dogs!!! YES - many 1000's spanning 45 years now. In simple terms - we have some AMAZING supporters, we have some AMAZING fosterers and adopters but IF YOU DO NOT LIKE OUR PROTOCOL - please THINK before completing the application form OR call to discuss concerns ... we are here to PROTECT the dogs that have already been let down, abused, abandoned and more.... I am sorry but we can't please everyone and will not change our protocol! THANK YOU x
