Rescue dogs will go through a period of adjustment when entering their new forever home. For example, they may become extremely shy, somewhat aggressive or display other negative behaviour. They may also start ‘doing their business’ inside the house or may not eat at their regular meal times. Tell us how you plan to work with your new dog to ensure this adjustment is smooth and as trouble free as possible?

Are there any children in your household?

If yes, how many children are there and what are their ages?

If you have children in the household, how much of the responsibility will your child be given for the care and management of the dog?

How much adult supervision will be provided when the dog and child are together?

Please list the names and ages of all co-habitants or others who frequently share your premises and/or fenced yard
