How do I submit an “Adoption Request”?
Select who you would like to adopt from the adopt page. Then at the bottom of the adoptee’s page you will see an Adoption Request Form along with any additional instructions/help you will need.
What is the adoption process?
- The first part of the process is potential adopters need to complete the pre-adoption/adoption request form on the page below the dog/cat they are interested in adopting.
- Once this has been completed, the team will assess all applicants and if suitable, we will organise a face-to-face homecheck, which means a volunteer will come and have a chat/check your home and gardens are suitable. We will ask the home checker to take photos of your garden.
- Once the home check is completed, if we feel you can offer the perfect home, we will reserve the dog/cat for you.
- The adoption fee is available on request (non-refundable) and covers all vaccines, microchip, neutering (depending on age), all health checks (incl. brucellosis and heartworm), passport and transport from Romania to the adopters home.
- The final payment is to be made 2 days before the dog/cat travels.
- Cats will be neutered before travel, but dogs will only be neutered if old enough. Otherwise this will be the responsibility of their adopters and proof of neutering will be required and will need proving to the rescue once it has been done.
- We guarantee life long rescue backup (RBU). RBU means you will get support and advice throughout the whole adoption process and our volunteers are always available to speak to. If for any reason the adoption fails, the dog/cat will be taken back by the rescue and rehomed elsewhere. In absolutely no circumstances should the dog/cat be transferred by the adopter to friends/family, sold or given away.
