Covid-19 update : March 2021 -
We have temporarily removed our application form to rehome dogs.  We have been completely inundated with applications during the last 12 months of the pandemic .
COVID-19 UPDATE: 31st May 2020 - We are working our way through the new guidelines relating to rescue organisations so that we can start rehoming again.  The new guidelines are vastly different to our rehoming policy, so quite a challenging time for us to adhere to the new guidelines, keep everyone safe without it becoming a 'click and collect' operation. 
Throughout the lockdown we have been inundated with applications to rehome dogs. Hopefully we will be able to start rehoming soon but we will begin with older dogs needing a home 9+ years.  
​Priority will be given to applicants for dogs of this age group (9+).  If you are looking for a younger dog or a puppy please do not apply until we change this notice.

Tailor made rehoming in Northamptonshire

Picture
Every effort is made to match the right dog into the right home.  We need you to be honest with us so that we can learn about your lifestyle, home environment and expectations.  Please consider whether this is the right breed for you, can you devote the time, energy and companionship this breed needs?

Adopting an Old English Sheepdog

We always have a waiting list of people wanting an Old English Sheepdog; so please be prepared to be patient, whilst we try to match the right dog for your lifestyle.
Dogs don't come to order so you may just be lucky that the right dog for you comes along quickly!
It is so very important that we get to know about you and your family so that the dog gets the right home.  In this way, he or she will be happy, you will be happy and the dog will not end up back in rescue.

We recommend that you read our "Care for your rescue Old English Sheepdog" prior to applying for a dog - see here.

Once we think we have the right dog, you will be invited to spend the day here with us and the dog.

After Adoption..........

Our Commitment to you :   Support and advice is always available for the lifetime of the dog.  If for any reason you feel unable to look after the dog, s/he must be returned to our care.  A home visit will be provided, post adoption, to ensure the dog has settled and help with any problems.
Your Commitment to us :   We have trusted you to give the very best of care to your new member of the family and fulfil the conditions of the adoption contract.
We expect you to keep in contact with us over progress of the dog and with photos or videos.
