You're not quite finished yet. Please read on for what to do next.

Complete our questionnaire at the bottom of this page

This will ask questions about your home environment and what you’re looking for in a dog. It helps us understand the type of home you can offer, and allows us to see whether you might be a potential match with any of the dogs in our care. Unfortunately, without this information we won’t be able to take your application any further.

Once you’ve completed the questionnaire look out for an email from us about the next steps

Once you submit your questionnaire – Your application will be run against the dog you have enquired about and if they are a match and you are first in line, we will be in touch. We also run your application against all of the other available dogs we have and if we find another one that is a match for you, we will be in touch to discuss them.

At this point, you may find it helpful to check out the advice on our website. We have a range of articles on everything from what to think about before getting a dog to puppy advice, caring for an older dog, and more.

Woodgreen’s dogs are looking for specific types of homes, so it’s important you’re able to give them absolutely everything they need to live a happy life.

Interest in our dogs and how we find them the perfect match

Here at Woodgreen, we spend time really getting to know our dogs and truly understanding their needs. We then match them with a home where these needs are most likely going to be fulfilled. This gives every dog the best chance of a successful, long-lasting relationship with their new owner.

Fortunately, we receive many adoption enquiries every month. So, for every dog at Woodgreen, there are numerous people interested in giving them a home. Whilst this is great news for the pets in our care, it does mean that due to our charity limited resources, we cannot get back to everyone who applies to let them know why they haven’t been successful.
