Dogs Trust Adoption Process

Thinking of adopting through Dogs Trust? Here's what to expect before you start your application.

• Register your interest in adoption on the Dogs Trust website - you can't apply for specific dogs directly.
• Create an account to favourite dogs you're interested in and help the team understand your preferences.
• Dogs Trust will match you with dogs that fit your lifestyle and home environment.
• Some dogs listed here may already be rehomed or reserved, as updates can take time to sync.
• If matched, you'll go through their adoption and home-check process before taking your new dog home.
