FAQs
When you adopt a dog from a rescue centre, you are actually helping two dogs, your adopted dog and the next dog in need of a rescue space.
Can I come and meet the dogs?
We are currently a closed rescue centre working on an appointment only basis. You can enquire about any dog you are interested in through our website. We can then schedule an appointment for you to meet and potentially collect your new dog.
How much does it cost to adopt?
Our dog adoption fees vary depending on the individual animal. Generally, dogs have an adoption fee of between £250 and £350. Some will be higher and some lower prices but it will always be shown on the animals profile on the website.
On average, the cost of the neuter, double vaccination, health check, flea, worm, any medical treatments they need will have cost the charity much more than the adoption fee and those with higher fees will subsidise those that need more help to be adoptable.
Can I reserve a dog for adoption?
Yes you can, this is done holistically based on the dogs individual needs.
No animal will be reserved until a home check and meet & greet has taken place.
How long does the dog adoption process take?
It’s dependant on the need of the dog you are interested in, a home check needs to be completed and meet & greets have taken place. We ask that you are well prepared to receive your new pet and have all their essentials needed. See our shop here.
I don't live locally, can I still adopt from Rain Rescue?
Absolutely, as long as you are able to travel to the centre to meet the dog as many times as needed during the adoption process.
I have completed an enquiry form but no one has got back to me?
We aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours. If you have not had a response to your enquiry in that timescale, please email info@rainrescue.co.uk to confirm that your form has been received.
