A quick summary of our application process!

The Application Process

In order to ensure our dogs go to the right homes for adoption, we carry out an adoption procedure to make sure our dogs have the best chance at a happy life.

Step 1

All potential adopters need to fill out a pre-adoption form which asks questions about you, your family (including your pets), your work and your home. After this has been completed and returned to us, we assess the results to see if we think everything is suitable and if the dog you are interested in is the right fit for you. If everything looks good, we carry out a home check.

Step 2

The home check allows us to meet you and see where the dog would be living. The home checks are carried out by local volunteers who can give you personal experience of adopting a rescue dog from us.

Step 3

We then arrange a zoom call with Jordan and Stephanie Connor, two of the Fetcher Dog CEOs to answer any further questions you may have. We aim to let you know everything about the dog that we know prior to the start of the process and carry out checks with other dogs, cats and children beforehand.

Step 4

If this is passed we can arrange an adoption and you have the chance to meet your chosen dog.

Our adoption donation is a minimum of £450.

Please note, this is a donation towards the costs associated with preparing the dog for adoption and it does not cover the entire amount we pay out from rescue to rehome.
