Adopt A Dog

Please note : This page is updated every week, the dogs stay with us until they find their forever homes. Please don’t over look the ones who have been with us a while.

☆  Here at Paws we always have over 80 dogs looking for homes.
☆  Many of these are sight hounds ~ greyhounds, lurchers and whippets who make amazing pets, they are generally sweet natured, easy going couch potatoes and great with kids.
☆  Some rescue dogs have probably never lived in a house before and will need your patience and love.
☆ All the dogs veterinary needs have been attended to. They will have been neutered, wormed, vaccinated and microchipped.
☆  There is a brief description of our dogs below, click on the dogs picture for more info.
☆ Email for information on our other available dogs: pawsadoptionqueries@gmail.com
PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE READ OUR ADOPTION POLICY BELOW BEFORE GETTING IN TOUCH                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   IT WASTES OUR TIME & YOURS IF YOU DO NOT MEET OUR ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS, THANK YOU.

Paws Adoption Policy

*  If you have children under the age of 7 you must adopt a puppy. (This for your children’s safety as we have no idea of the dogs history).

*  Our dogs are rehomed as indoor pets only.

*  Your garden must be fully enclosed by walls or secure fencing, no hedges or shock collars. We carry out  pre-adoption homechecks.

*  We don’t rehome adult sighthounds with cats, we recommend getting a pup.

Paws is not open to the public as it stresses the dogs. Appointments are by prior arrangement only.

If there is a dog on the website you are interested in or you would like to know about our other available dogs, 
please email for a questionnaire : pawsadoptionqueries@gmail.com
