The newest was added on 7 November 2026. Each profile links to the rescue, which handles the adoption.

Can rescues rehome puppies under six months?

Yes. Lucy's Law stops third-party sales, not rescues. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Are rescue puppies vaccinated and microchipped when I adopt them?

They should be microchipped. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped and registered by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a puppy can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped. At the large charities the fee also pays for first vaccinations. Dogs Trust's fee includes a health check, vaccinations, worming and other treatments, neutering (or a neutering voucher), microchipping, a collar and lead, food and four weeks' free Petplan insurance. A young puppy may still have vaccinations to finish, so ask the rescue which it has had and what is still due.

How old are the puppies in Rugby?

As of 8 November 2026, the 10 puppies listed in and around Rugby are: 9 aged six to 12 months and 1 with no exact age given, by the rescues' listed ages. We count a dog as a puppy up to 12 months. Each puppy's rescue can tell you what it has learned so far.

Are the puppies in Rugby good with children and other pets?

It depends on the dog, not its size or age. As of 8 November 2026, the rescues mark 2 of the 10 puppies listed in and around Rugby as able to live with children, 0 with cats and 5 with other dogs. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue, and supervise early meetings with children whatever the dog.

Why are there so few rescue puppies in Rugby?

Puppies are a small share of what rescues list: as of 8 November 2026, 10 of the 75 dogs listed in Rugby are puppies. Young adult dogs are worth a look too, and their rescues can tell you more about their character.

How much does it cost to adopt a rescue puppy in Rugby?

Rescue fees for puppies are set by each rescue. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there puppies for sale in Rugby?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every puppy on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 10 puppies listed in and around Rugby today are with East Midlands Dog Rescue at Enderby, about 15 miles away (2), Leicester Animal Rescue at Billesdon, about 22 miles away (2), Animals In Need Northamptonshire at Wellingborough, about 25 miles away (2) and 3 other rescues, and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Where can I buy a puppy in Rugby, and should I?

Not here: we only list dogs with rescues, so every puppy listed here is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the puppy's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy, The Royal Kennel Club runs a Find a Puppy service, and Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet first: they say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations on likely health conditions and rough costs.

Can I get a free puppy to a good home in Rugby, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 10 puppies listed in and around Rugby today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Pawprints Dog Rescue at Monks Kirby, about 6 miles away. Puppy fees can be higher: Blue Cross puppies start from £525, while Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
