If you want to adopt an animal from us, you must first complete the adoption form (below) before we can arrange a home visit. The form can be completed online or at the shelter. Once we have deliberated to identify an animal which is suitable for adoption and feels well matched with your preference, a home visit can be arranged. With dogs, we will send you a written assessment before you meet them to ensure you are fully able to deal with any issues or needs. A home visit is sometimes required to adopt a small animal from us as well.

All of our adoptions are by appointment only. Many of the animals in our care find it stressful to see strangers while they are in kennels or pens. Thank you for your understanding.

The relevant forms can be found here:
