The dogs we re-home are given up for a number of reasons: a family
moves and is unable or unwilling to take their pet along, an owner
dies, a partnership breaks up, changes to living or working arrangements.
The list is endless. We take on the job to find these Bullmastiffs
a loving home.
COST
To help cover the substantial cost of rescuing dogs and running
the organisation, we appreciate a donation of whatever is affordable.
Senior dogs and those with special needs are handled individually
and a smaller donation may be acceptable.
WAITING LIST
Please be prepared to have your name added to a waiting list. To
the best of our ability we try to match each dog with the most suitable
owner. The length of time you wait depends on your requirements
in a dog as well as the dog's requirements of an owner. If you are
flexible about your dog's age and sex, your wait may be less. Not
all dogs are suitable for re-homing in environments with other animals
or with dogs of the same sex.
CHILDREN
It is our policy not to place a dog into a home with young children
unless we know that the dog is accustomed to them.
HOW TO ADOPT A DOG
Our rescued Bullmastiffs are very special to us and we insist upon
finding them the very best homes. To be considered as an adopting
owner you must be willing to:
- Return the dog to the Bullmastiff Club of KZN if for any reason
you can no longer keep it. The dog must never be sold or given
away - to anyone - including family members.
- Keep your dog as a household pet. Bullmastiffs are sociable
dogs and require human companionship, and as such should not spend
all their time outside and away from people.
- Keep the dog in good health and give it good care. This includes
providing all the necessary veterinary care and insurance. Proper
care of a dog includes ensuring that it has fresh water and food,
appropriate sleeping quarters, proper grooming, training, exercise
and attention.
- Have available a securely fenced garden/yard or appropriate
run for the dog to use. We will not home a dog unless it has a
secure outside area.
