Conditions of adoption

Please note the following re homing policies of the RSPCA Burton-on-Trent & District Branch:

  1. We are looking for long term, permanent homes for animals in our care and we need to be sure you can provide such a home. This means we have to ask questions about your personal circumstances.

  2. All members of the household must come to the Animal Home before an animal can be reserved for you. This includes any existing dogs coming to meet a proposed new dog! We will normally ‘hold’ the animal of your choice for you for 48 hours to allow everyone to come along and agree the new addition.

  3. A Home Checker will need to visit you at home before you can adopt an animal.

  4. All existing dogs or cats in the household should normally be neutered and vaccinated.

  5. We do not allow families with pre-school age children to adopt puppies or kittens under 6 months old and few “second-hand” dogs are suitable for families with very young children or babies.

  6. Dogs are pack animals which need a lot of company and should not regularly be left alone for long periods at a time.

  7. A secure garden or exercise area for dogs is essential.

  8. Young animals need almost constant company - particularly puppies. Kittens are sometimes better re homed in pairs.

  9. Veterinary fees can be expensive and adopters need to be able to meet the costs of both routine and emergency care.

  10. Any veterinary costs incurred once an animal has been adopted are the sole responsibility of the adopter and we can offer no guarantee as to the future health of any animal.

  11. Adoption fees are non-returnable.

  12. No dog or puppy will be re homed into a flat unless it is a ground floor flat with its own private fenced-in garden.
