Responsible Pet Adoption: Finding the Right Match

Bringing a new pet into your life is a significant commitment. At Pets Home, we believe in promoting responsible pet acquisition to ensure happy, lifelong relationships between pets and their owners.

Family meeting a pet for adoption

Research Before Adoption

Take time to understand the specific needs of different pet species and breeds. Consider lifespan, exercise requirements, grooming needs, and typical temperament to ensure a good match with your lifestyle and living situation.

Pet health check veterinary examination

Health Considerations

Ask about the pet's health history, including vaccinations, any existing conditions, and previous veterinary care. When adopting from breeders, inquire about genetic testing for breed-specific conditions and ask to see health certifications for the parents.

Meet Before Deciding

Always arrange to meet a pet in person before making an adoption decision. Observe their behavior, interaction with people, and living conditions. For dogs, consider multiple meetings and bringing all family members to ensure compatibility.

Ask Questions

Don't hesitate to ask detailed questions about the pet's personality, training level, dietary needs, and why they're being rehomed. Responsible shelters, breeders, and owners will appreciate your thoroughness and want to ensure a good match.

Prepare for Your New Pet

Before bringing your new pet home, ensure you have all necessary supplies, a safe environment, and a relationship with a local veterinarian. Consider taking time off work initially to help your new pet adjust to their surroundings.

Pets Home Success Stories

Thousands of pets have found loving homes through Pets Home. Read some of our heartwarming success stories from across the UK.

Golden Retriever adoption success story

Charlie's New Start

"After losing our elderly dog, we weren't sure when we'd be ready for another. I downloaded the Pets Home app just to browse, and that's when we saw Charlie's profile. This 3-year-old Golden Retriever needed rehoming due to his owner's illness. From first message to bringing him home took just one week, and he's brought so much joy back into our lives."

Cat adoption success story

Luna & Leo's Forever Home

"We were specifically looking for bonded cats who needed to stay together, which can be challenging to find. Through the Pets Home app, we connected with a rescue that had two gorgeous black cats who'd been overlooked because of their colour. Six months later, Luna and Leo rule our home and have completely transformed our lives with their unique personalities."

Rabbit adoption success story

A New Home for Rosie

"When my daughter developed severe allergies, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome our beloved rabbit Rosie. The Pets Home app made this difficult process much easier. We were able to create a detailed profile, screen potential adopters, and even keep in touch with her new family. Knowing she's happy in her new home has brought us peace during a challenging time."
