About family dogs in Lincolnshire

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 Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire?

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 Lincolnshire today, family dogs are listed by Three Counties Dog Rescue (at Bourne), Jerry Green Dog Rescue (at Algarkirk) and Peterborough & Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust (at Spalding). Three Counties Dog Rescue asks a minimum of £250 for a dog and Jerry Green Dog Rescue £385 for a dog over 20 weeks. For Peterborough & Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust, see the rescue's own page for its fee.

Can I get a family dog free to a good home in Lincolnshire, 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 Lincolnshire today, the published fees run from £250 at Three Counties Dog Rescue to £385 at Jerry Green Dog Rescue. Every one of those is under £500. For the other rescue, see the rescue's own page.
