Pro Dogs Direct
Rescuing and rehoming unwanted dogs in England
| Pro Dogs Direct became a registered Charity in 2006, although we had been part of the national charity Pro Dogs for about 10 years prior to that. When Pro Dogs closed it doors we decided to keep Pro Dogs re-homing going. We felt there was a need for dogs to be rehomed without going into kennels; that is why we added Direct to our name. This is the charity's vision: whenever possible to home dogs DIRECTLY from home to home. Where that is not possible we use foster homes and occasionally kennels to get dogs to safety and out of difficult situations. Our trustees each take overall responsibility for certain dogs on our website and become the main contact for all information connected with that particular dog. That enables us wherever possible to reply promptly to enquiries and to get history and information on each dog, enabling us to place the dogs in the suitable forever home or foster home. We will help any dogs and take on dogs involved in cruelty cases and the puppy farms breeding dogs, but not the puppies. We feel these dogs surely need to know what it is to be loved and happy. These dogs often need extra medical care and TLC after a traumatic time having never known a loving hand and home. Our network of volunteers for transporting and fostering the dogs is invaluable, as are our volunteer homecheckers who meet prospective new owners in their homes to talk about the dog and its future care and training. It is our policy to neuter all dogs, where possible, on homing unless there are medical reasons for not doing so. Puppies are followed up and when old enough their owners are offered help with neutering. Of course as a rescue we do not want unwanted litters but neutering is also beneficial to the dog for health reasons in later life. | We re-home any breed of dog and we work with a network of other rescues to make sure the dogs get into the right homes. If you are interested in any dogs on our website, please click on the link and complete the adoption application form. If your details are suitable for the requirements of the dog, we will arrange a homecheck for the dogs security. If this is passed we make arrangements for you to meet the dog and hopefully re-home her or him. The time limit on this process varies. We ask for a minimum donation of £150 per dog. The minimum may be more for some dogs and puppies under one year. This helps towards (but does not usually fully cover) any costs of neutering, veterinary treatments, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments and microchipping (where necessary). We cannot guarantee that these will have been done before you take your new pet away. We will advise you if that is the case. We have a legally binding Adoption Contract which you are asked to read and sign and everything known about the dog will be shared with you. All our dogs are examined by a qualified vet. From time to time, as with any pets, matters will come to light after examination and adoption about which we had no knowledge, could not have anticipated or have any control of. We therefore cannot be responsible for anything arising after adoption of which we were not previously aware Pro Dogs Direct is there for help and support throughout the dog's life. Pro Dogs Direct is run entirely by volunteers who freely give their time to help dogs find new forever loving homes. Most of our volunteers also fit jobs, families and other commitments into their busy days. Our aim is to place each dog in the best possible home and not on a first come first served basis. |
