About family dogs in Hampshire
When you have children, the best guide to a good match is not the breed but the individual dog and what its rescue or foster home has already seen it do around children. This page gathers the dogs listed with rescues in and around Hampshire that their rescue says can live with children.
An adult dog that has lived with children and coped well is the closest thing to a sure bet, which is a real advantage of adopting over buying a puppy of unknown temperament. A dog whose profile says nothing about children, or that can live with older children only, is not listed here, so ask the rescue about any dog you like. Always supervise early meetings and teach children to be gentle.

Are there family dogs for sale in Hampshire?
No. Rescues rehome family dogs for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In Hampshire today, family dogs are listed by Hairy Hounz (at North Baddesley), Greyhound Lifeline (at Southampton) and Pro Dogs Direct (at Aldershot). Greyhound Lifeline asks a donation of £175. For Hairy Hounz and Pro Dogs Direct, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a family dog free to a good home in Hampshire, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing family dogs in Hampshire today, Greyhound Lifeline publishes its fee: it asks a donation of £175. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 2, see the rescue's own page.
