Information and Advice on Adopting a Dog

Adoption Process

Here are some important questions to review before you make the decision to adopt a dog:

  1. Are you physically and economically able to adopt and care for a dog?
  2. Remember that having a dog is a long commitment, possibly 10 to 15 years. Are you ready to take on such a commitment?
  3. How many hours will the dog be left on its own during the day?
  4. Do you have time to spend with your dog, walking, training, playing?
  5. Will you have the patience to train your dog?
  6. Do you have someone willing to care for your dog if you go on holidays or are ill?

Once you've given thought to the questions above and have decided to adopt a dog: You can take a look at the dogs that we have available for adoption on our website prior to contacting us. By doing a search here, you can narrow down the list and find the type, size, age and sex of the dogs that you're interested in. You can then contact the shelter by email and tell them the dog(s) you'd like to see. After speaking with you we will be able to determine the dog that is the best match for you.
