Paws Crossed Support |
|
Once you have adopted a dog from us, we feel that it is important for you to know we are still with you if necessary. Whilst the responsibility of ownership remains with the new owner we are happy to be a source of advice and support if you have any concerns about your dog, especially while they continue to settle during the period after adoption.
When you adopt you should be expecting to take on a life-long commitment to safeguard your new family member. As such, part of the adoption agreement includes that should an adopter's personal circumstances unexpectedly change in the future resulting in an inability to keep your dog, that you get in touch with Paws Crossed to let us help you re-home your dog appropriately and effectively. For instance we can help with home checks.
Paws Crossed adopters are also able to join a private Facebook group where they can safely share their new family member's progress and seek support from other adopters. If you have adopted one of our dogs and not yet joined but would like to, please message Amanda. Should you have family members who wish to also join, please let Amanda know so that she can approve their membership to the group.
