About family dogs in Norfolk

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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk?

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 Norfolk today, family dogs are listed by Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders (at Hainford), FAITH Animal Rescue (at Hickling) and Norfolk & Suffolk Animal Trust (at Great Yarmouth), and 2 other rescues. Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders asks £200 and Norfolk & Suffolk Animal Trust £300 for a dog. For FAITH Animal Rescue, see the rescue's own page for its fee.

Can I get a family dog free to a good home in Norfolk, 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 Norfolk today, the published fees run from £200 at Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders to £350 at PACT Animal Sanctuary. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 2, see the rescue's own page.
