Meet Dahlia and Gizmo

Dahlia and Gizmo are a beautiful pair of bonded sisters who are looking for a loving home together. They came into our care through no fault of their own and have been inseparable ever since, so it’s important that they find a family willing to welcome them both.

Having only ever lived indoors, Dahlia and Gizmo would be best suited to an indoor home or one with safe, secure outdoor access such as a catio, where they can explore safely.

Dahlia is the more confident of the two and is always happy to accept attention—especially if there are treats on offer! Gizmo, on the other hand, is a little more reserved and may take some time to come out of her shell, but once she feels safe and settled, her gentle nature begins to shine.

They would thrive in a calm and understanding home where they can build trust at their own pace, with plenty of love and patience. In return, they’ll offer a wonderful companionship and the special bond only a pair like them can bring.

The adoption process

Application

If you see an animal on our website that you are interested in adopting, you should fill out an Animal Enquiry form. This gives us more details about yourself and your lifestyle to make sure you are a good match for each other. If we get multiple requests for one animal, we will consider them all and choose the most suitable home to match it to a new owner. This will allow everyone interested a fair chance of adopting it

First meeting

If your application is successful, we will invite you for a first meeting. Here, you and the animal will meet each other and see how you get along. Following on from this, there may be more meetings and you can introduce other pets as required.

Home checks

Home checks are required for every dog before we set the adoption date. This was done physically pre-Covid but we now ask for videos and photos. We need to be sure the home environment is suitable for that dog and the garden is secure. If dogs/rabbits are going to live with other dogs/rabbits, we will arrange an introduction as previously mentioned.

Keep in touch

Every adoption is as unique as each animal. Please remember although sometimes it might seem like a lengthy process, we are doing this to make sure each animal is found the right home for their lifetime.
