COPY OF RESCUE POLICY:

You accept the terms of our adoption policy (below).
You will be required to inoculate your new German Shepherd when due(or within 1 month of ownership).
You are required to have your new German Shepherd neutered within 3 months of taking ownership (if not already done).
You are required to take out suitable Pet Insurance on your new German Shepherd.
A Rescue volunteer will contact and visit you within 1 month after you have adopted your new German Shepherd.

We are available to help and assist you with any problems you may encounter with your new German Shepherd. An information pack will be sent to you when you take in your new dog which will cover most common problems; first aid, introducing your dog to other animals, new people etc.

We will not rehome a German Shepherd with unsuitable people, nor with people who have not had sufficient experience with the breed. If you are a German Shepherd novice we would suggest adopting an older, quieter German Shepherd.

If your circumstances change, and you are no longer able to look after your German Shepherd, please contact the Rescue and we will arrange to re-home your German Shepherd.

If you register your German Shepherd to be tattooed or micro-chipped, please let Cefni German Shepherd Rescue know your ID numbers for our records, so that in the event of the dog going missing we can register them as lost more quickly for you.

We have a no-kill policy and we do ask all adopters to abide by this rule. Exclusions to this are if the dog is terminally ill and in continuous pain or the dog has attacked and severely injured a human being.

If we are informed you are not looking after your Cefni adopted German Shepherd we have the right to remove the dog if we think the dogs welfare is at risk.
