ADOPTING A BRANCH ANIMAL
Please think carefully before
you adopt.
An animal is a living creature which will be dependent on you for
the rest of its life.
Dogs and cats can live well into their teens.
Veterinary
care is expensive.
Is your life style suitable for the animal?
Dogs left
for alone for long periods become unhappy and destructive.
Please see our
re-homing section on the branch Policies page.

Advice on the care of animals can be found on the National RSPCA Web Site
THE ADOPTION PROCESS
Once you have chosen your new companion a member of our Home Visiting Team will visit you in your own home to discuss any concerns you may have prior to adopting one of our animals. If everything is fine and you have had time to carefully consider if a rescued animal is right for you, and your family, arrangements can be made to bring him/her home. A follow-up visit is arranged a few weeks later to ensure that everything is going well and your new friend has settled in. Any worries you may have can be discussed at this stage. Of course, we hope that everything will go smoothly. But, the first few weeks of getting to know each other, especially for a first time owner, can be stressful. Small concerns can become a real worry and by discussing any problems we hope to set your mind at rest or to help overcome any difficulties. We aim to ensure a successful adoption and a happy and contented relationship between the rescued animal and his/her new family for many years to come.
