Check out these helpful Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I apply to adopt an advertised rescue animal?

New rescue animals are uploaded to our website every day, and are also rehomed every day. To see all available animals, head to our “Why Adopt?” (click here) page and follow the links.

To apply for an advertised rescue animal, fill in and return the appropriate adoption Application form for either dogs or cats by heading to our “Resources” (click here) page. Detailed instructions are contained within the form.

Important:

  • Please read the requirements in each pet profile before applying
  • A member of our volunteer team will get back to you in 1-2 business days
  • If you’re unsuccesful in your adoption application for a certain rescue animal, our team can help find you a rescue animal that fits your lifestyle and circumstances at home
Does Homeless Hounds have a shelter or office that I can visit?

No. Homeless Hounds does not have an office or shelter open to the public; we are a network of volunteers working out of our homes.

What′s involved in being a Foster Carer?

Being a Foster Carer is a very important role as you will open up your home to a rescue animal for a short period of time until they are rehomed permanently. For every animal we can place with a Foster Carer, one more life is saved.

To find out more about what’s involved and applying to become an official Homeless Hounds Foster Carer, see our “Foster Carer” (click here) page.
