Rehoming Procedures

We are only able to show a small selection of the many dogs available for rehoming, and the information provided on each dog is for guideline purposes only. For more information on each dog, or to view all the dogs available for adoption, please visit our rehoming centres directly.

In all cases, before a dog is rehomed, the following will be completed.

  • Health assessment by our vet
  • Behaviourable assessment by our staff
  • Home check/vet recommendation (new owners to us)
  • Any new owner will need to reserve a dog with a £10 fee while the above is completed. Rehoming of stray dogs can only be done after a dog has been with us for seven days, as required by the law.

Deposits are non-refundable unless the dog is claimed by its current owner or the reserve is cancelled by the home

How much will it cost?

In most cases Birmingham Dogs Home makes a charge for rehoming depending on age, condition and breed. Typical charges range from £120 to £150. In certain cases, a dog may be homed without a charge other than the new owner providing a donation. This may occur in cases where dogs are of extreme age, have ongoing medical treatment or have had excessive period of stay within either home.

All normal rehoming (i.e., with a charge) will include the following:

  • Free first part vaccination
  • Free flea and worming treatment
  • Free micro-chip
  • Free 4-weeks pet insurance
  • Discounted neutering voucher
  • Free access to our Behaviourist
  • Free collar, identification tag and lead
  • Free starter pack of food, advice and special offers

Birmingham Dogs' Home make every attempt to ensure a successful adoption but cannot guarantee any dog's temperament or health once it has been rehomed.
