Welcome to Mayhew

We are an animal welfare charity working to improve life for dogs, cats and the people in our community – at our home in London and internationally.

Our rehoming process
There is a lot to consider before adopting a new family member and Mayhew can help find the perfect pet for you. All our animals receive thorough behavioural and health assessments before they are ready for rehoming. This includes microchipping, vaccinations, neutering, defleaing and worming.

If you would like to rehome one of our cats or dogs, follow these five steps:

1. Find an animal

Visit the animal rehoming pages on our website to see who is available for rehoming. If you see an animal that might be right for you, please fill out our dog application form

2. Assessment

Our team will assess your requirements and try to match you with the right animal. If there is a good fit, you will be contacted by our animal adoption officer to have a virtual interview.

3. Rehoming fee

If you are successful in your interview, you will pay the rehoming fee for that animal (Dogs – £160). We will then reserve the animal for you.

4. Home visit

Once you have found your perfect pal, we will conduct a virtual home visit. This is to make sure your home is suitable for your potential new pet and to meet other members of your family.

5. Collection

We will arrange a time for you to come and collect your new best friend from the garden at our Home.
