About the Ilfracombe centre

Welcome to Dogs Trust Ilfracombe. Our dogs are being cared for in foster homes until we find their forever homes.

Adoption process

All of our dogs are being cared for in foster homes, not in our centre, so if you are interested in adopting complete our online application form. If we find a match, we’ll arrange an appointment for you to meet them. Please note, we are open for pre-arranged appointments only.  

If we think we have a dog who could be a great match, we’ll arrange an appointment for the dog to come to the centre to meet you. 

If there isn’t a suitable dog right now, don’t worry. New dogs come into our care all the time and not all dogs go on the website, so we’ll keep your application open for three months. If you want to make any changes to your application, please give us a call. If we don’t find the right dog in that time, we’ll let you know and invite you to reapply. 

Find out more about rehoming a dog from us and how we decide what makes a great match. 

In 2025, we helped 161 dogs find loving homes!
