Important Info/FAQ's
In addition to the below information, we have many useful websites on our links page relating per animal, please check there if you cannot find the information you need then please contact us.
Stray animals and what to do if you find one.
Dogs - By law all stray dogs must be logged through the dog warden who can be contacted through your local council.
Cats/Other - Look for posters in your area, check with neighbours, ask at local vets - they can also scan the animal for a microchip which can track down the owner, advertise in the Echo or local paper and put up posters in public places.
Additional info - Whilst searching for the owner, please make sure the animal has food and water and check out what you should feed it with a vet. Depending on the nature or the type of animal - please be careful - lost and scared animals can attack when stressed. Be gentle and slow in your approach.Adopting from Pawz - if it doesn't work out what happens?
If, for any reason, your situation changes and you are no longer able to care for your pet or it doesn't work out, the pet comes back to the care of "Pawz for Thought", the microchip is also batched to the charity. The donation is non-refundable as explained at adoption.Animal medical/background history
Due to the nature of rescuing and how the animals come to us, we do not usually get a medical history for the animals and therefore will not know what vaccinations they may have had previously. We do not home animals that we think are ill or are unsuitable for re-homing.We also may not be aware of the previous background of the animal but our dedicated team of volunteers get to know the animals during their time with us and we work hard to match the right pet to the right person/family.
