Occasionally we have a dog that doesn't quite reach the standard required by Assistance Dogs International to qualify as an Assistance Dog. This puppy/dog is then rehomed and released from the programme. Puppies/dogs that are released from the programme are typically 6-18 mths of age and will be vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.
They will have been raised in our Puppy Programme, will be house trained and have a level of obedience depending on their age at the time of release.
Is a Buddy Dog for you?
If you are interested in adopting a dog, please review carefully the information below.
Types of dogs available for rehoming:
- Buddy Dogs
- Retired Dogs
- Dogs with health issues
- Ambassador Dogs
Please be aware that these dogs will have been released from the programme for different reasons and some may not be suitable for homes with young children.
-
Are you at home most of the day?
-
Do you have an enclosed garden?
-
Our dogs are house dogs so must be kept inside
-
They will need regular daily exercise
-
They must have regular vet visits and be insured.
Please bear in mind that as it is rare enough for a puppy/dog to be released from the programme, it is therefore unlikely for you to be offered a dog immediately. We will place your application on file and it will be assessed, along with any others, if/when a puppy is to be released from the programme. We take time and consideration in matching all of our dogs to suitable homes and this is a top priority for us.
