Find a Rescue Dog Survey

Please take our quick survey and tell us how you use our Find a Rescue Dog service

Consider giving a home to a rescue dog as long as you are prepared to put in extra work if it is needed but it can be an immensely rewarding experience.  Do not consider adopting a rescue dog if you have a busy life, or very young children, as they often need special care and the people re-homing it can give you a full history. 

Step 1 - you have considered the type of dog you would like

Step 2 - you have found the right breed

Step 3 - you have read the considerations for a rescue dog

Step 4 – you know what to expect from a rescue society

Step 5 - you are now ready to Find a Rescue Dog

Never go to a pet shop as their breeding stock may have come from puppy farmers - breeders out to make a quick profit often at the expense of the health and welfare of the puppies. Please read the article ‘Puppy farms, puppy dealers and pet shops’ as this will give you the facts if you were planning to buy a puppy from a pet shop or a puppy ‘dealer’.
