Adopt! Don't Shop!
If you’re looking to extend your family with a four legged friend, then ADOPT, DON’T SHOP! With more dogs every year looking for homes it’s easy to find a dog that will fit in to your family – most of them already house-trained! We understand that every dog is different and has different needs and our Guardian Angel Doggy Foster Carers will carefully profile the dogs in their care and work closely with our home checkers to find you a good match!
Getting to know your Rescue Dog
When you adopt a dog, you will be responsible for that dog’s care. Such costs as vet fees, vaccinations, flea and worming treatments, food, treats, leads and collars, bedding and toys will all need to be met.
It’s also important that you spend time with a dog before taking it home. Just like a person, that dog needs to get to know you and trust you. Likewise, it’s a good idea for the dog to be gently introduced to other pets in your family.

Our Costs & Expenses
We are asked many times, why do ask for an adoption fee. For each dog we rescue, there are many costs which need to be met.
Our costs include :
- Fuel for transporting dogs
- Vet bills
- Neutering/spaying
- Microchipping
- Flea and worming medications
- Bedding
- Leads and collars
- Food some of which is for special dietary requirements
- Toys
- Website and advertising
- Office Supplies
When you adopt a dog, we ask for an adoption donation which helps meet some of these costs.
