Adoption fees

Why do we charge an adoption fee?

Adoption fees go towards the cost of caring for our animals and ensures we can take in the next animal that needs our help. We are a self-funded charity and it costs over £12,000 per week to run our rehoming centre. Without adoption fees, we simply wouldn't be able to continue helping animals.

What's included in the adoption fee?

Every animal has a full health check by our vet prior to adoption.
Dog, cat, and rabbit adoption fees also include microchipping, neutering, vaccinations and 4 weeks free pet insurance.
Dog and cat adoption fees also include flea & worm treatment and a going home pack.
The going home pack contains:
Dogs - a bag of Burns food & measuring cup, a Pet Remedy starter kit (plug in, spray & wipes), an ID tag, a gnaw bone or toy
Cats - a bag of Burns food & measuring cup, a Pet Remedy starter kit (plug in, spray & wipes), an ID tag, and a small toy.
