Adopt a Dog
So, you've seen a dog you like, and think you might be able to offer it a home? The first thing you need to do is come down to the kennels and see the dog, take it for a walk and see how you get on. If you have children, or another dog, we recommend that you bring them with you, to make sure that everyone will get on. This is really important, as the dogs can often seem much bigger when you see them in the flesh! Although we make every attempt to keep this website up to date, if you're interested in a particular dog, we recommend phoning the kennel before you leave to check the dog hasn't already been rehomed. Please be aware, however, that we are unable to reserve a dog over the phone.
Once you have visited the dogs, and hopefully found one that matches your lifestyle and expectations, a member of staff will arrange a convienient time for a home check. These are usually carried out within 2 or 3 days of your visit and take about half an hour. Once the home check is complete, you'll be able to collect your dog. You will need to bring with you some identification showing your current address, and the £135 adoption fee. It may also benefit you to bring a lead and collar, but if you do not have one, we do have a number available for sale at the kennels.
The £135 adoption fee will ensure that your new dog has a full set of vaccinations, this does not include kennel cough, a microchip with registration, flea and worm treatment, an initial vet check and a bag of Kibble Mill dog food.
Our staff will be on hand if you have any questions, and will be able to guide you through the adoption process. So, on behalf of all the staff and dogs at Acres Way, we look forward to seeing you!
