The Adoption Process

​

Adopting a dog through BDRUK is a simple and smooth process; the steps below describe how to apply if you would like to offer a forever home to one of our wonderful dogs.

​

Please note that we do ask for an adoption fee which goes some way to cover for the dogs neutering (adult dogs only), vaccinations, microchipping and rescue costs:

​

• £255 for a dog aged 10 years or older

• £325 for a dog aged between 2 and 10 years

• £350 for dogs under 2 years

 

We do organise home checks for every adoption, to make sure the dog is a perfect fit for you and your family and vice versa. Puppies that are not neutered will be required to be done at the adopters expense. The fees are correct as of 1st January 2024.

​

If you are interested in one of our UK foster dogs, you can speak to the fosterer, by prior arrangement and, if you live close enough, you can visit before deciding if the dog is right for you.

​

Please note:  We do not rehome our dogs to families with children aged 10 years or younger.

 

Most of the dogs are blind or partially sighted and have lived on the streets or in a shelter for some time. They are unassessed with children so, for the sake of the child and the dog, we must put their welfare first.  If you have visiting children, we need to know, but it won't preclude you from adopting.  We would expect you to take the usual precautions as with any dog - do not leave a dog and child together unsupervised.
