All of our dogs have thorough veterinary checks and are neutered and micro chipped. All will have been carefully assesed and we take extreme care to match them up to yours and their requirements. Come along and have an informal chat to our experienced rehoming officers who will be there on the day. Most people who come along to our events are absolutely stunned at how quiet the dogs are and how well behaved t! hey are when they meet up. Please see our website for more details
