Having to rehome your dog is never an easy decision and sometimes it can be made out of sheer frustration or thinking there is no other option. At UK Spaniel Rescue, once we have received your surrender form, we will contact you to discuss your options to see if there is any way we can help you to keep your dog. Of course, no matter your decision we will support you in the best way we possibly can.
Some issues may not need our help. We will ask if your dog has had a vet pain check recently for any sudden changes in temperament and to rule out any underlying issues. Of course this may not shed any light on your dog’s issues and one of our behaviourists will contact you to see how they might further help you, even if it is just in the short term whilst we are finding a placement for your dog.
It could be that you are simply looking for help in keeping your dog but you don’t know where to turn. If this is the case, please complete the ‘Help Me Keep My Dog’ form at the bottom of the page.
If your dog has seen a behaviourist, it will help our rehoming team if you are able to provide a copy of their report, again, this will aids us in making the best decisions for your dog and determine how we can help. Please upload this with your application form.
Your dog must be microchipped to the person submitting the rehoming form. We cannot proceed if the details do not match.
We will also need a copy of your dog’s medical history before we can look at rehoming him/her. Again, we cannot proceed without this and would ask that you ask your vet to send to us at hello@ukspanielrescue.co.uk as soon as possible to prevent delays
You will be assigned an Adoption Co-ordinator and a behaviourist to support you through the rehoming process and answer any questions you may have and we will ask an experienced volunteer to pop round and carry out a basic assessment of your dog before progressing.
We ask that you consider making a donation which will go towards paying for the assessment, using the Paypal link below
For insurance purposes, we will only take responsibility for your dog once the transfer of keepership form is signed and returned it to us.
Please read our Surrender FAQs for more information.
We are currently unable to take dogs with a bite history or severe guarding issues. We appreciate this seems unfair but we are a foster based rescue and take the safety of our volunteers and Home from Home foster carers very seriously.
