Once Loved Dog Rescue was set up to help provide care, shelter and permanent homes for unwanted and abandoned dogs. Our work is mainly rescuing and rehoming dogs from UK dog pounds where it is common policy to destroy them after 7 days if they are not re-claimed. We are run entirely voluntarily. As an independent, self funding organisation, we do not have our own centre, but we rely instead on foster carers and boarding kennels. All our dogs are assessed in a home environment, prior to rehoming, this helps to ensure that dogs and new homes are well matched. The rescue is based near Yeovil in Somerset. As we are a small rescue, we like to keep homes as local as possible for home checking purposes. We will, however, consider rehoming to other areas.
Foster carers are urgently needed. Having more foster carers means saving more lives! Please click HERE to read more. If you think you can help by offering foster care to a homeless dog, please email cathy@oncelovedrescue.org.uk for a fostering application form. Or telephone 07770 795334
Donations are also always needed for vaccinations and vet treatment etc. The rescue is self-funded and receives no other financial help.
Donations will help us to cover costs as follows:
- Vet treatment
- Neutering/speying – All un-neutered/un-speyed dogs are speyed before they are rehomed.
- Vaccinations – Dogs that come into our care are vaccinated immediately.
- Emergency Boarding Fees – We do not have our own kennels, this means that some dogs (particularly those that come to us from a pound) are required to be placed into emergency boarding kennels for assessment, before they can be rehomed. They are also required to have a kennel cough vaccination in addition to usual vaccinations. Please consider making a donation. Thank you.
Rehoming – If you would like to offer one of our dogs a home, please contact us for a pre-adoption application form Email: cathy@oncelovedrescue.org.uk or telephone 07770 795334
All prospective homes will be required to have a pre-adoption home check and post home checks. You will also be required to sign an adoption agreement.
All dogs are neutered/speyed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, wormed and de-flead before they are placed into new homes.
Adoption Fee – We ask for an adoption fee of £150. This fee enables us to help more dogs in need.
Funds for emergency boarding fees urgently needed! We neuter, vaccinate and rehome all dogs, but we need help urgently with emergency boarding fees, as all our dogs have come from pounds and need to be placed into boarding kennels in order to be vaccinated and assessed before rehoming. If anyone can help, please consider making a donation either via paypal, address: donations@oncelovedrescue.org.uk or if you would prefer to make a donation directly to the boarding kennels, please email cathy@oncelovedrescue.org.uk Anyone who makes a donation will receive regular updates, plus will receive proof of payment to the boarding kennels (if donation is made via paypal) Please help us to save one of these lovely dogs! Thank you.
