Where North Wales's older rescue dogs are
Older dogs listed with us in North Wales come from North Clwyd Animal Rescue at Trelogan, near Holywell, and Almost Home Dog Rescue, whose dogs live in kennels or with fosterers. Almost Home takes in dogs for social services when an owner has died or gone into care, which is one way older dogs reach it.
Forever fosters and long term fostering
When a dog is in its twilight years or has an existing medical condition, Almost Home offers to cover its medical expenses in exchange for a loving home: it calls these its Forever Foster Dogs. North Clwyd Animal Rescue says its long term fostering is usually for older animals, and that some very elderly animals can't cope with kennel life.
What an older dog costs in North Wales
North Clwyd Animal Rescue charges the same £200 for any dog over 6 months (£350 for a pedigree with full paperwork), with a £20 deposit when you reserve.
Each rescue sets its own fee, and some charge less for older dogs. Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over, against £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7, 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 Wales
In Wales, 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 Wales regulations).
