Step 1:
If needing assistance from our Charity, please click the link below for our Surrender Form. We require this form to consider your request and plan ahead of a dog entering our foster care programme. Please provide as much information as possible in the form to make it a more efficent process and so we can consider who will be the most suitable foster carer for the dog. Once your completed surrender form is received we will be in contact to discuss the next steps.
Step 2:
Please also consider travel arrangements if the dog(s) are not based in Canterbury. All dogs accepted into our care need to be transported to Christchurch (where we are based) for fostering. Please see below "FAQ on surrendering" for more information on this aspect.
NEED TO KNOW MORE?
Please download the below information as the majority of queries are answered here. If not please email us your questions and we will respond.
As all of our volunteers work full time outside of rescue, contact via email for any queries is quickest and most preferable - if a phone call is required we may schedule this in at a later date as the rescue does not have a phone number to call.
Please note: we have a limited amount of foster placements available at each time and only take in a limited amount of dogs to ensure we can provide comprehnsive behavioural and/or medical care to each dog. Before submitting your application form, please contact any prior owners, family members or breeders for assistance - once we recieve your form we need to be able to plan accordingly.
Each donation recieved helps us to be able to continue our good work and we appreciate your support!
