Why adopt in Dorset?

33 dogs, 9 cats and 8 rabbits are listed in and around Dorset today, with 4 different rescues and rehoming centres. Adopting means applying to the rescue itself: each profile links to its own adoption page and shows its fee, which usually covers vet work such as vaccination and a microchip, and neutering or a plan for it.

How LocalPetFinder works

We collect listings from UK rescue and rehoming centre websites every few days and sort them by place, breed, age and what each animal can live with. Every card links to the rescue's own adoption page, so you apply to the rescue directly. We are not a rescue, we never sell animals, and the site is free to use.
