Our adoption fees are £200 for adult dogs and £250 for puppies up to and including 6 months old. The cost includes neutering, flea control treatment, vaccination against Kennel Cough, and micro-chipping. Additional donations are greatly appreciated to help us to continue our work.
 
After browsing through our available dogs and puppies, the next step is to complete a Perfect Match form which can be found on the animal’s bio page under the Enquire About Me button. Once the online form is submitted this will be emailed to Lesley who will then acknowledge receipt by email or phone. If you are a potentially suitable applicant, Lesley will get in touch with you to make arrangements for you to meet the animal. Alternatively, you can download and complete the Perfect Match form and email it to lesley@rspca-altrincham.org.uk

If you wish to go ahead with the adoption, we will then arrange a virtual home visit where all the family needs to be present to discuss your new animal and answer any further questions you may have about rehoming. During the home visit, we are looking to see that :

1: A dog will not be left alone for more than 4-5 hours a day and will get a minimum of one 30-minute walk per day, all year round.
2: A dog has a secure backyard or garden, with fencing of a minimum of 6ft in height, although this may need to be higher depending on the size of the dog.
3: You are willing to take the dog to training classes or seek help if necessary.
4: You have a good understanding of the commitment and cost involved in adopting your chosen animal.

Please be aware that we don’t work on a first come first served basis for our dog adoptions, we choose the most suitable home for the particular dog.

If you have a specific question regarding one of our dogs which has not been answered in their bio, please call Lesley on 07548254438 or email lesley@rspca-altrincham.org.uk

Due to changes in the way we complete our VAT Return, as a result of VAT changes at RSPCA HQ, we are now required to clearly display any VAT in our Rehoming Fees and Rehoming Documentation.

Generally our rescue animals are free of VAT, but some which come to us for rehoming via the RSPCA Inspectorate may be liable to VAT. In all cases, the rehoming fee will be as shown on our website and will include any VAT where applicable.
