Rehoming Questionnaire

Thank you for taking the time to complete our questionnaire and for choosing to adopt a rescue dog.  When taking on any new pet, it is important to consider fully that this is a life-long commitment that could be for 15 years or longer.  Also, to appreciate that dogs of all ages (and backgrounds) will take time to settle into their new homes, and some will adapt more quickly than others.  In the time leading up to adoption, rescue dogs may have had to cope with a number of changes including losing their previous homes and family, time in kennels and foster homes and vet visits before arriving at their new home; so, they may take a little longer to settle.  

Please answer all questions fully, as this information helps us to ascertain if the dog you are interested in will be a good match for your family.  If not, we may suggest another dog which is more suited to your lifestyle, needs and requirements.
