We live outside the area where we'd seen a dog but the home was really helpful as to how we could make the adoption happen. The meet and greet was really successful and we we're given a thorough history, tips and advice from staff. The whole experience was so amazing and not stressful at all.

From the moment we walked in we knew we were in good hands.

We met our dog the same day and bonded immediately and adopted within a few days.

I think she was very well cared for during her stay with them and is settling beautifully in our home

4 months now since we adopted a German shepherd cross from the Dogstrust and the experience has been fantastic. We adore our beautiful new dog and the support from the Dogstrust is ongoing and superb. We will never get a dog from anywhere else now. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Brilliant team at West Calder

We rehomed a beautiful little smooth fox terrier from West Calder at the beginning of May - the team were so lovely to deal with, they answered all our questions and ensured we were fully equipped to offer our new dog the best possible start. The West Calder site will be gorgeous when the works are completed, well worth a visit. 5 star!

From the initial contact with dogs trust, they listened to what I wanted and paired me with my lovely Rose. The process was so thorough and they eased me into rehoming my new girl. Thank you all so much, especially Lizzie and Gemma at Harefield.

Wonderful experience!

Really friendly, helpful staff. Lots of support . Found the perfect match aided by all the handover information given. I'd definitely recommend going for a visit instead of just looking online. George (our adoptee) wasn't on the website when we went as his assessments were complete, but the staff gave us all the information they had. The whole process took a week from first visit to taking George home. He's not our first adoption from Dogs Trust, they are just brilliant!
