Welcome to our adoption page 

We are so pleased you are considering adopting a dog from us! As I’m sure you can imagine, we are all a bit passionate about spaniels here and finding perfect homes for our beautiful pups is what we care about most 😊  

Adopting a spaniel is such a rewarding experience. It will bring joy, companionship and sometimes a bit of spaniel craziness into your life, but as importantly, it will provide a second chance for one of our gorgeous spaniels. None of them deserve to be with us so by choosing to adopt, you are making a compassionate decision that will really change one of our dogs' lives. 

Every dog in our care is looking for a loving, forever home, and we are committed to helping you find the perfect spaniel for you and your family. 

Why Adopt from Us? 

Our dedicated team works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome spaniels of all breeds and ages. We ensure that every dog is given the best possible start on their journey to find a forever home by providing: 

  • Comprehensive Veterinary Care: All our dogs receive thorough veterinary check-ups and where required, receive vaccinations, flea & worm treatment, neutering, and any emergency medical treatments. We ensure they are all healthy and ready to join their new families. 

  • Love and Patience:  All our fosterers are experienced spaniel people who have been trained by our behavioural team to care for the foster dogs in their care. They understand the need to allow foster dogs to decompress, and the importance of giving them space, time and love to help them recover from their ordeal.  

  • Behavioural Assessments: Our team of fosterers take care of their foster dog for a minimum of two weeks. This allows time for the dog to start to relax and show its true personality. The fosterer evaluates the dog's behaviour and temperament, seeking support from our education, training and behaviour team when required. This thorough evaluation enables us to match each dog with the most suitable home environment for their specific needs. 

  • Information: We will provide you with as much information as we have about your dog as well as an adopter’s guide to help you understand your new pup and navigate the transition into a crazy spaniel owner! 

  • Support and Guidance: We provide ongoing support and resources to help you and your new spaniel adjust to life together. Our team is there to answer questions and offer advice. 

The Adoption Process

Adopting a dog from Spaniel Rescue Foundation is a straightforward and supportive process designed to ensure the best outcome for both you and the spaniel. 

​

  1. Browse Our Dogs: Take a look at our available dogs and read their profiles to learn more about their personalities, needs, and histories. 

  2. Fill Out an Application: Once you find a dog you are interested in, complete our online adoption application form. This helps us understand your lifestyle and preferences to ensure a good match. We read every application as our priority is to find the perfect home for each of our dogs. We will only consider applications that demonstrate they can meet the dog’s specific needs. IMPORTANT NOTE: you will receive an acknowledgement email and a garden photo request email. Please ensure you check your Spam or Junk email folders.

  3. Meet and Greet: If we feel you are the best home for the spaniel, we will arrange a meet and greet.  You, your family and any resident dogs will be asked to visit the dog in their foster home. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know each other in a relaxed setting. 

  4. Home Visit: To ensure a safe and suitable environment for the dog, we will conduct a home visit as part of the adoption process. 

  5. Adoption Agreement: If the meeting goes well and both parties are happy, you will complete an adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee. This fee contributes towards the cost of the dog’s care while in our care. 

  6. Welcome Home: Bring your new spaniel home and begin your journey together! We provide post-adoption support to help ensure a smooth transition. 

Adoption Fees

Our adoption fees vary depending on the age, breed, and medical needs of the dog.

These fees are a contribution towards the veterinary fees we have paid for each dog, including vaccinations, neutering, microchipping, flea and worm treatment and other emergency medical treatments.
