VISIT DOGS TRUST REHOMING You will leave Foco na Dica and visit the charity’s website.Start with the dog’s needs
A dog’s profile can introduce their personality and the home they may need. Look beyond size or breed: consider daily activity, time for training and how your household would support a new dog. Questions about children, other pets or time alone should be discussed with the rehoming team.
Profiles and availability change. Browsing a dog online does not reserve them, and the charity may have dogs that are not yet featured on its website.
How the Dogs Trust adoption process works
Dogs Trust currently uses a general adoption application. You describe your home, routine and preferences, choose a rehoming centre and can include favourite dogs to show your interests. The charity considers possible matches; this is not an application solely for one specific dog.
If the team sees a potential match, it can invite you to meet the dog. More than one meeting may be needed, and a home visit may be arranged. A suitable match can take time. Submitting a form does not guarantee adoption.
Before applying: read the charity’s latest instructions and check how you would travel to the selected centre. Use the official website to provide any application details.
Adoption fees and ongoing costs
Dogs Trust charges an adoption fee. Check the current amount and what it includes on its website rather than assuming that a rescue dog is free. Also plan a separate budget for everyday care.
- Food, bedding, leads and suitable equipment.
- Veterinary care and emergency costs.
- Insurance or another plan for unexpected expenses.
- Training, enrichment and care when you are away.
Spend time considering the costs and responsibilities before making an adoption commitment. This guide does not take payments or handle adoption applications.
Prepare your home and daily routine
Think about where your dog would rest, how you would manage walks and who would help with daily care. If you rent, check your tenancy and obtain the landlord’s permission where required. Requirements depend on the dog and the organisation’s assessment.
Dogs Trust asks adopters to be at least 18. Its team can discuss what a particular dog needs and the support available after adoption. Share your circumstances honestly so the organisation can assess whether a home is suitable.
Why explore a rehoming charity?
Speaking to a rehoming team gives you a chance to ask about a dog’s care needs and the steps ahead. Use the conversation to understand what is known about the dog, what support you may need and whether you are ready for the commitment.
What to keep in mind
A particular dog may need a different household or routine from yours. There may also be no suitable match at the time you apply. Avoid making decisions based only on a photograph or a quick online questionnaire.

Can I apply for a specific Dogs Trust dog?
The current process uses a general application, with favourites to explain your preferences. Follow the charity’s latest guidance when applying.
Can I adopt if I already have pets?
Tell the rehoming team about the animals in your home. Compatibility depends on the individual dog and will be considered during the assessment.
Is this the official Dogs Trust website?
No. Foco na Dica publishes independent information. The buttons labelled Dogs Trust take you to the charity’s own website.
