Adopt a dog in Southampton

Adopt a dog in Southampton

How wonderful that you want to adopt a dog in Southampton and choose one of our pups! We rely so much on international adoption because our main goal is to find a home for each rescued dog. While our shelter is built and run with extra care, kept operational at high standards, and ensures that these animals get the treatment they lack their entire lives, it is still not home. We love them; we take them to the vet for periodic check-ups, vaccines, and medicine and provide food suited for each one’s medical condition. Also, we give them lots of cuddles and kisses and take them for walks. But, at the end of the day, they remain in the shelter and do not get to go home with anyone special.

This is where you come in. Your wish to adopt a dog in Southampton might be enough to help us give these pups their real chance at happiness. Despite our best efforts, we cannot take everyone home and shower them with love. We try to compensate when we are at the shelter, but there are over 700 dogs in the ROLDA shelter. So, we need you to do this for us. We need you to be the ones to take over for us and let these wonderful animals become part of your families.

At ROLDA, we have rescued and rehabilitated several thousand dogs and are proud of our achievements. But as long as pet abandonment remains an issue, we will always have our hands full, no matter how impressive the numbers. International adoption has been a great help and has represented the real shot at happiness for thousands of animals. Every time one of our dogs sets off for his forever home and someone else wishes to adopt a dog in Southampton, we almost do a little dance.
It means that our efforts are paying off.

For all this to work, we have set up a very good system that assists people looking to adopt a dog in Southampton. Our ROLDA colleagues are equipped with the legal and logistical information to provide all the support you need. They will also drop by to see where the dog will live, give pointers, and help in any area you need: Is the home suitable for a dog? Should you dog-proof the place? Do you have a yard, or can you walk your new friend around daily? Does the dog have special needs, and do you need any special accommodations?

You can also find assistance during the accommodation process, and we will check in to see how you are doing. The testimonials of other international adopters have been a great help in the past for people looking to adopt a dog in Southampton. You can read about the personalities of the dogs they adopted, the problems they experienced in their new homes, and what was done to help them. You can clearly understand what to expect in general terms and how equipped other people were to handle those issues.

Will your experience be similar? Who knows? It might be easier or more challenging. But you have us rooting for you and a whole group of people willing to help you adopt a dog in Southampton, especially since you may have the only chance that dog has ever been in a real home.
