Are you a dog person?

If you have time to spare and love to give, you could be just what one of our dogs is looking for! 

We currently have hundreds of dogs in our care who are ready to meet someone just like you. So many have been overlooked for too long, and all they need is someone who has love to give. 

Are you ready to adopt?

If you don't mind....

  • your personal space being invaded
  • spending your income on tennis balls and treats
  • helping me to perfect my doggy manners and tricks
  • a strict routine of early walks, playtime and cuddles
  • giving me space in your home to make my own

You're a dog person!

We’ve got 22 rehoming centres nationwide, most of which are open five days a week. You don’t need an appointment to visit, meet dogs, and start your adoption application.

If you want to adopt from Bridgend, Cumbria, Ilfracombe or Newbury, you’ll need to fill out an application to adopt first. Our dogs in these areas are in foster homes, so if we think we’ve got the right dog for you, we’ll arrange an appointment for you to visit.  

Find your local rehoming centre.

We’d been looking at Missi’s profile on the Dogs Trust website several times a week. Once we met her, we knew we wanted to adopt her.
