DogsnHomes Rescue

DogsnHomes Rescue, dog rescue and rehoming in Hampshire

DogsnHomes Rescue is a UK-registered charity (number 1183775) based in Fleet, Hampshire. Its work focuses on rescuing dogs in Portugal and the UK and finding them a forever home. The organisation describes itself as a foster-based charity, meaning that animals stay in private homes rather than a traditional kennel while they wait for adoption.

How the adoption process works

The process starts with an application from the person interested. The team contacts them to learn about their preferences and circumstances, and then suggests a compatible dog. The charity describes this support as an attempt to match the right person with the right dog, and several adopter testimonials mention that they were kept informed throughout the process, with photos, videos and clear timelines. In some cases, a meet-and-greet is arranged between the candidate dog and other animals already living in the home.

The charity also offers post-adoption support. Testimonials on the site mention guidance after the animal arrives, including recommendations for dog trainers, and ongoing follow-up from the team.

Dogs from Portugal and the UK

The rescue works with dogs originating from Portugal and the UK. For animals arriving from Portugal, the site states that adopters are informed about the transport process and the dogs' place of origin. The charity includes a specific section on canine brucellosis testing, a relevant health aspect when adopting dogs from other countries.

Dogs available for adoption and already rehomed

The website shows a catalogue of dogs with different statuses: some appear as available for adoption, others as reserved, others as adopted and others marked as coming soon. Among the names listed at the time of analysis are Florence, Cracker, Moose, Lucas, Leo, Lola, Tilly, Timmy, Kara, Holly, Hayden and Hector, plus a list of dogs already rehomed such as Sol, Lara, Lexi, Tessa, Tony, Teddy, Jet, Ace, Cinnamon, Chandler, Hazel and Crunchie. The catalogue can be filtered by availability, sex, estimated size, neutering and whether they can live with cats.

Volunteering, fostering and support

In addition to adoption, the charity offers other ways to get involved: volunteering, fostering dogs in temporary homes and donations. The website includes a shop and a section on supporting the organisation. It also publishes an equality, diversity and inclusion policy and a volunteering FAQs section.

Helping abandoned dogs and cats in Ukraine

DogsnHomes Rescue runs a fundraising campaign for abandoned dogs and cats in Ukraine, with a donation link via JustGiving. The charity directs visitors to the news and volunteering section for more information about this area of work.

Recognition and reviews

The organisation mentions having received a Points of Light Award. In the reviews section, several adopters highlight the work of Gary and Michelle, as well as that of volunteers in the UK and Portugal, and describe the process as clear and well supported. The testimonials collected relate to adoptions of dogs such as Moose, Treacle, Lily, Bubba, Maple, Sandy and Merlin.
