Adopting a Jerry Green Dog – The Rules

At Jerry Green Dog Rescue, we are passionate about dogs and we are determined that our dogs go to caring and loving homes that are suited to each individual dog. That's why we take such care in matching every single dog with an ideal adopter. To ensure the welfare and happiness of our dogs, we need stringent rules!

1. Every Jerry Green dog is the property of Jerry Green Dog Rescue and will remain so after adoption.
2. Jerry Green Welfare Officers will visit adopters to ensure the ongoing welfare of the dog and must be given access to the dog at the adopter's home. If at any time the Welfare Officer considers that the dog is not being kept in accordance with these rules, he has full authority to reclaim the dog and return it to Jerry Green Dog Rescue.
3. No Jerry Green dog is to be kept outside, tied up or in a kennel and run.
4. No large dog may be rehomed to a flat or maisonette.
5. A prior home visit by a Jerry Green Welfare Officer is obligatory prior to rehoming a large dog such as a German Shepherd, Doberman, Rottweiler or a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Please note that for any of these dogs we will insist on a secure fence at least 6ft tall.
6. No Jerry Green dog may be allowed to stray nor may it be left alone for more than 4 hours on a regular basis.
7. An adopted bitch must be spayed if not already so. Jerry Green Dog Rescue will pay for this. Failure to have a bitch spayed will result in Jerry Green Dog Rescue reclaiming the animal.
8. Every adopted dog must be inoculated annually.
9. No Jerry Green dog may be passed on (by sale or otherwise) to any third party. In the event of the adopter no longer wishing to keep the dog, it must be returned to Jerry Green Dog Rescue.
10. No Jerry Green dog may be put to sleep without permission from Jerry Green Dog Rescue.

Don’t be alarmed by any of this – we have been successfully rehoming dogs since 1961 and we know that these rules work for us, for our dogs and for those who adopt our dogs.
