Where Bristol's older rescue dogs are
The older dogs listed with us around Bristol are all outside the city: Happy Landings Animal Rescue Centre near Shepton Mallet, Forest of Dean Dog Rescue, whose dogs live in foster homes in Gloucestershire, All Creatures Great and Small near Cwmbrân in Wales and Teckels Animal Sanctuaries at Whitminster. Forest of Dean Dog Rescue names older dogs first among the dogs it is committed to taking. Our guide to Bristol's dog rescues covers each one.
Foster homes and lifetime care
When a dog's medical needs are complex or expensive, Forest of Dean Dog Rescue keeps it in a foster home for the rest of its life and pays for its care. Teckels Animal Sanctuaries moves older dogs that cope less well in kennels into foster homes, so you may meet an older Teckels dog away from Whitminster.
What an older dog costs near Bristol
None of these rescues publishes a lower fee for older dogs. All Creatures Great and Small asks a £300 donation for any adult dog, and Forest of Dean Dog Rescue a rehoming donation of at least £300.
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 England
In England, 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 England regulations).
