Dog Adoption Policy – Somerset and Dorset Animal Rescue Thank you for considering adoption! As a non-profit rescue, we work to rehome dogs from the UK and abroad. Please review our adoption process before proceeding. Step 1: Visit our Facebook page to browse available dogs - https://www.facebook.com/somersetanddorsetanimalrescue Step 2: Message us via Facebook or direct link to start a conversation ( m.me/1495513400734923 ). We may arrange a home visit to ensure compatibility and provide guidance. Step 3: A one or two-week trial allows you to see how the dog fits into your home. You’ll be responsible for their care during this period. Please keep us updated on their progress. Step 4: If the trial is successful, you’ll pay a fixed adoption fee, covering partial costs of rescue and care. Most dogs are neutered/spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested for relevant health conditions. EU dogs come with passports. Step 5: Upon adoption, paperwork is completed, and the microchip is transferred to your details. Step 6: We are a backup rescue, meaning we will always be here as your dog’s second home if needed. Lifetime support and advice are available - please reach out if challenges arise. We look forward to helping you find the perfect companion and thank you for choosing adoption! 🐶❤️
