Rescue dogs for adoption and rehoming in and around Newark and Sherwood

Right now 8 rescues list 96 dogs on LocalPetFinder in Newark and Sherwood or within about 25 miles of it, 10 in Newark and Sherwood itself. We only show rescues whose animals we list, so there may be others nearby.

Pick a dog on this page and apply with the rescue named on its profile. LocalPetFinder is not a rescue: each rescue runs its own adoption process, which can include meeting the dog and a home check, and sets its own fee. If the rescue is a drive away, expect to make the trip at least once.

No. LocalPetFinder is an independent UK website and is not connected with Petfinder. We bring together dogs, cats and rabbits from UK rescues and rehoming centres, and every profile links to the rescue that cares for the animal, so you apply with them directly.

Pets4Homes describes itself as the UK’s largest online pet marketplace, connecting buyers with breeders as well as shelters and charities. LocalPetFinder is for adoption: our listings come from rescues and rehoming centres and from owners rehoming their own pet, each checked by a reviewer before it goes live. We do not take adverts from breeders.

No. We do not list the RSPCA’s animals, at its national centres or its branches. To see them, use RSPCA Find a Pet, the RSPCA’s own search for animals in its centres and branches across England and Wales.
