Rehoming Process

We have a comprehensive adoption process to ensure that the right dog is matched to the right home. Our aim is to be flexible to match the needs of the individual dog with the suitability of the home offered.

• In order to start the adoption/foster process you will have to complete an initial enquiry form which will be processed by a member of the rehoming team, you will receive a phone call to confirm your application, answer any questions you may have and confirm you would still like to proceed.

• We will then select an available home checker in your area through our vast network of volunteers who will arrange a time & date convenient for both parties.

• The home checker upon visiting your home will ask a series of questions and be required to take photos of certain areas of your property to ensure this meets the minimum standards as per the rescue guidelines such as a secure garden and 6ft fences. The home check can take anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete fully.

• Your home check will then be reviewed by a member of the rehoming team who will contact you to discuss the outcome:
  • If you are successful, the next stage will be to discuss available dogs you are interested and look to arrange a meet and greet with them.
  • If you are unsuccessful, a member of the rehoming team will discuss any changes or improvements which may be required to adopt or foster.

Please be patient as the rehoming team are volunteers and will aim to come back to you ASAP, If at any point you have any questions regarding your application then please e-mail rehoming@8belowhuskyrescue.org
