Where Glasgow's older rescue dogs come from

The older dogs listed with us for Glasgow come from Saving and Rehoming Strays, whose rescue centre is at Ayr, about 32 miles south west of the city. The centre isn't open to the public, so every visit is by appointment, and you meet a dog only after a successful home check. Our guide to Glasgow's dog rescues covers the other rescues near the city.

Forever fostering an older dog

Saving and Rehoming Strays runs Forever Fostering so that its older dogs and dogs with special needs can spend their later years in a home rather than in kennels. It asks forever fosterers for time, love, commitment and patience, and calls fostering a huge commitment, so ask the team how it supports a dog in a forever foster home before you apply.

What an older rescue dog costs near Glasgow

Saving and Rehoming Strays asks a £500 rehoming donation, the one figure its FAQ gives, towards neutering, other vet fees, food and microchipping.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee, and Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

The law in Scotland

In Scotland, every dog must be microchipped and registered by 8 weeks old, and a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped (the Scotland regulations).
