Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire. We appreciate that it is lengthy.

Our animals are very precious to us and we hope you understand that it is so important for us to find the best homes for them and this is part of the process.

If we feel that your application is suitable, the next step will be to have a home check, either in person or by video call. If your home check is carried out by video call, you should be prepared to show us the areas of your house to which the dog will have access, particularly the outdoor area, where it will sleep and where you will feed it.

We will review your application as soon as possible - please bear with us!

Thank you!
