Apply to Adopt

There are three steps to applying to adopt one of our dogs!

  • Check the listings below.
  • If the dog you want isn’t on these listings, then wait until they are available.
  • Complete our application form.

  • We will send you an email with further instructions.

What happens after you apply?

  • Wait to hear from us!
  • Because we’re such a small team, we can’t always notify everyone if you are unsuccessful – sometimes we get 30, 50 or 100 applications we have to sort through (per dog!). And we adopt out multiple dogs a week.
  • That said, we’re working on new ways to keep you updated, so watch this space!
