Adopt A Dog

Please note : This page is updated every week, the dogs stay with us until they find their forever homes.

Please don’t over look the ones who have been with us a while.

Paws Adoption Policy

  • If you have children under the age of 7 you must adopt a puppy. (This for your children’s safety as we have no idea of the dogs history).
  • Our dogs are rehomed as indoor pets only.
  • Your garden must be fully enclosed by walls or secure fencing, no hedges or shock collars. We carry out  pre-adoption homechecks.
  • We don’t rehome adult sighthounds with cats, we recommend getting a pup.

Paws is not open to the public as it stresses the dogs. Appointments are by prior arrangement only.

General Information

  • Here at Paws we always have over 80 dogs looking for homes.
  • Many of these are sight hounds ~ greyhounds, lurchers and whippets who make amazing pets, they are generally sweet natured, easy going couch potatoes and great with kids.
  • Some rescue dogs have probably never lived in a house before and will need your patience and love.
  • All the dogs veterinary needs have been attended to. They will have been neutered, wormed, vaccinated and microchipped.
  • There is a brief description of our dogs below, click on the dogs picture for more info.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE READ OUR ADOPTION POLICY BEFORE GETTING IN TOUCH
