Adoption and Fostering Applications
Due to the increasing backlog of applicants, the SGS Team has taken the difficult decision to suspend new applications
Why have we done this? Because we have been flooded with applications since the coronavirus pandemic began -
-
Since 1st March SGS has received over 500 applications to adopt or foster.
-
Compare this to 302 received in the whole of 2019!
-
There are approximately 97 applications in process, at various stages.
-
SGS is run by a small team of volunteers. Every time an application is received a great deal of time is spent processing it. And that's before we get anywhere near rehoming a dog!
-
We would like nothing more than to move more dogs into their forever homes but we can not risk getting it wrong by rushing the process. To do so would be failing our dogs and our applicants.
We are asking potential new applicants to be patient and to check back regularly, although it is likely to be early 2021 before applications can reopen.
We MAY make exceptions for applicants with significant sighthound experience. If you fall into that category please email us
Thank you for your patience
The SGS Team
