Thank
you for visiting our web site. We look forward to telling you about
our work.
As a dog welfare charity we find loving new homes for unwanted and
abandoned dogs throughout the North East of Scotland.
Well over 2,000 dogs and puppies have been given the chance of a new
life since we began helping homeless hounds back in 1994

If you can offer a dog a loving new home...
We aim to find our dogs loving new homes by working to a re-homing
policy, which matches each dog’s individual needs, characteristics
and traits with the most suitable new owner and living environment.
To achieve this we need to ask prospective owners a few simple questions,
which are followed up by an informal visit to your home. If you
have owned a pet before we may need to ask for a vet's reference.
Most vets are familiar with the procedure and are happy to help.
Our procedure is aimed to benefit both dog and prospective owner
so your help and patience is much appreciated.
As our charity receives no government funding and we are not part
of a national organisation we can only continue to provide our dog
re-homing service through public donations and fund raising events.
To assist in funding our work you will be asked for a minimum donation
of £75 for your dog. This includes our Pooch Pack fact sheet,
which details the dog's history, characteristics and any other pertinent
information, which will assist you. The fee also includes micro
chipping, which aids identification in the event your dog goes missing.

If you would like us to find your dog a new home...
There are many genuine reasons why people can no longer care for
their dog. If you would like our help please call and one of our
staff will be happy to take your details. We will need to know some
basic information about the dog (age/breed/gender/medical history/if
socialised with children and other animals, etc) and you will be
asked, where practicable, to visit our office so that we may meet
the dog ‘in person’. Once this has been done your dog
will join our re-homing register for a minimum donation of £5.00
and the search for a loving new home can begin. The details of old
and new owners remain confidential and are never given to either
party.
Due to a lack of funding we do not have our own rescue kennels,
therefore, as long as you are able to provide good care for the
dog he/she should remain with you until a suitable new home has
been found. By remaining in familiar surroundings this will cause
less stress to your dog who may have a difficult time ahead adjusting
to new people and places.
In emergency cases, we can, on occasion, arrange to take a dog into private boarding
kennels so please feel free to discuss your circumstances with our
staff.
