Meet Whiskey

Whiskey is a ‘project dog’ who would thrive in a home with owners committed to the needs of our gorgeous girl. Whiskey has been with us long term, almost half of her life – but we believe there is a home out there for her as she is the most playful, fun and affectionate girl when she has a relationship with you. She is only small in size but incredibly agile, so will need a very secure garden space. Our pocket rocket loves nothing more than a tennis ball and this is the best way to make friends. Whiskey struggles with new people and can be easily overwhelmed and ‘react’. In her previous home (all be it years ago) she was very distressed when left alone which makes her long stay in kennels more and more heartbreaking. She is not comfortable to interact with other dogs and will need access to quiet walking areas. Whiskey does wear a muzzle when in public but is comfortable to do so. She is very good at travelling and is partial to a puppachino with her favourite dog walker. If you feel you could meet the needs of Whiskey please enquire – and note we will not consider any homes with children, pets or in a ‘busy’ area.

The adoption process

Application
If you see an animal on our website that you are interested in adopting, you should fill out an Animal Enquiry form. This gives us more details about yourself and your lifestyle to make sure you are a good match for each other. If we get multiple requests for one animal, we will consider them all and choose the most suitable home to match it to a new owner. This will allow everyone interested a fair chance of adopting it
First meeting
If your application is successful, we will invite you for a first meeting. Here, you and the animal will meet each other and see how you get along. Following on from this, there may be more meetings and you can introduce other pets as required.
Home checks
Home checks are required for every dog before we set the adoption date. This was done physically pre-Covid but we now ask for videos and photos. We need to be sure the home environment is suitable for that dog and the garden is secure. If dogs/rabbits are going to live with other dogs/rabbits, we will arrange an introduction as previously mentioned.
Keep in touch
Every adoption is as unique as each animal. Please remember although sometimes it might seem like a lengthy process, we are doing this to make sure each animal is found the right home for their lifetime.
