Adoption Process

Ready to welcome a rescue Border Collie into your home? Our adoption process is designed to ensure the best match for both you and the dog. Start by filling out our adoption form, and we’ll guide you through home checks, meet-and-greets, and support every step of the way. Give a dog a second chanc - apply today!

Adopting a rescue dog from Valgrays is a rewarding experience! Start by completing our adoption application to help us understand your lifestyle and preferences.

Next, we’ll arrange a home check to ensure a safe and loving environment. Once approved, we’ll help match you with the right dog, and you’ll have the opportunity for a meet-and-greet. If it’s a perfect fit, we’ll guide you through the final adoption process, providing ongoing support to help your new companion settle in.

Complete the form with as much detail as possible and then return it to us at valgrays@hotmail.co.uk and we’ll take it from there!

Here is a except of our main conditions of adoption – when you apply for one of our dogs in need, you will receive the full set of our adoption conditions or alternatively you can get in touch & we will send them over to you.

You agree to lifetime ownership of the dog on the understanding that it is not used for re-sale or breeding and is kept as a house pet and/or working home. Anyone found breeding for money will have the bitch/dog removed by the Rescue Administrator.

If unwanted at any time the dog must be returned to Valgrays, not sold, given away or put down. A friendly visit may be made twice a year. Should the dog be found uncared for at any time, the Administrator reserves the right to retrieve the dog without further notice.
