Just make sure you get the right dog for your family! It’s an amazing thing to do, adopt an adult dog/cat and it can be extremely rewarding. One thing that the organisation cannot tell you for sure is the animal’s past and this will be an ongoing discovery. Training is essential, get professional help with any issues so that both you and your animal can bond - one on one training at home is also recommended.

We adopted this beautiful Kelpie X, around 3 years of age and we love her to bits! We had and still have issues but we are slowly working on those. It’s a slow but beautiful bond that we are creating. Our other dog, us, and our newby , need to find common grounds - patience is the name of the game.

What I’m saying is that it’s all worth the effort and your new adopted animal will love you forever!!!
