The following information is not meant to put you off wanting an animal from us, we just want to make sure we get people who are really serious about adding to their family and who understand the commitment needed.

Animal Care will not home any animal:

• To anyone under 18 years of age.
• To anyone it feels will not provide a safe loving home for the rest of the animals life.

Animal Care will not place dogs:

• In homes where there are resident children of 1 year of age or under, if the dog is to be a pet or reside in the house. Please note there will be some dogs who we will not place in homes with children under certain ages due to the requirements of the specific dog but this information will be provided at the centre.
  

• In tied accommodation where occupancy is dependent on employment unless on a working farm.

  In Flats above first floor level or any flat that does not have direct access to a private yard or garden.

• In homes where all resident adults are in full time employment or where the dog is regularly left 'home alone' for long periods of time.
• Where any outside area is not fully enclosed and safe for a dog and any perimeter fencing or hedging is secure to a height required for the breed looking to be homed.

Animal Care will not home Dogs or Cats:

• In homes that do not have their own private garden or yard which has direct access from the home. (shared gardens are not usually accepted).
