Our process for adoptions.

It's important that any dogs we have taken in go to the right homes, so we have a set procedure.

• Application 

We need to know some information about you and the environment that you will provide for a dog.

• Chat with the team 

One of our team will contact you for a chat to go over your application. This will also give you the opportunity to ask us any questions. 

• Chat with Foster Carer  

Our fosters will have the best information about the particular dog that you are intersted in and chatting with them can help you to understand any needs that the dog will have. Again this gives you another opportunity to ask questions to make sure this is the right decision.

• Adoption Agreed in Principle

Once forms and conversations are done an adoption agreement will be made in principle.

• Homecheck

The homecheck is very important and without it we will not be able to continue with the adoption. We will work with you to find a suitable time for this to happen. We will not accept video home checks and we expect to be able to see at minimum the space in which you will provide for the dog to eat and sleep, the garden area and of course meet other pets and members of the family who will be staying with the dog.

• Meet and Greet with all family members and your other dogs at fosters location.

It is important that dogs in our care meet you and the family before being adopted, and it's important that they feel safe and comfortable while doing this. You will travel to the foster to meet the dog and get to know them a bit better. If you live close by to a foster then we do encourage multiple visits but we must insist that there is a minimum of 1 visit to meet the dog before adoption can proceed. 

• Adoption Forms Signed with rehoming date, Transport Agreed & Care Costs Paid.

Once you have been able to meet the dog and think over your decision we will ask you if you want to go ahead with the adoption. At this point we will ask that you sign our forms and agree to a rehoming date. We will discuss the transport arrangements and ask that you provide a payment as guarantee for the next dog who comes into our care.

 

All dogs in our care will be titre tested, vaccinated and spayed/neutered. Any other veterinary procedures will be undertaken to ensure the health of the dog. These costs are covered by our adopters.

 

Chinese Red Dog Aid UK guarantee all dogs who come into our care are well fed, trained, rehabilitated and taken care of for life.
