South East Dog Rescue In Kent

South East Dog Rescue in Kent – giving abandoned and unwanted dogs a second chance.

South East Dog Rescue In Kent

South East Dog Rescue in Kent is a non-profit organisation based in Greenhithe. We aim to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home dogs across the UK, operating a non-destruction (no-kill) policy.

Our Rescue Centre is run entirely by volunteers – We would LOVE for you to get in touch with us, to either enquire about dog recue in Kent or to join the SEDR family and help out in any way you can. From monthly donations or sponsoring a Sanctuary Dog to clean kennels and fostering dogs, your help is always needed and appreciated. There are so many ways to get in touch and we really look forward to hearing from you!

Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and now TikTok.

Dog Rescue In Kent – Meet The Dogs

All the dogs who are looking for their new, furever home are listed on our website – Meet The Dogs >. Before we rehome all of the dogs have been assessed by our experts and their specific needs are written into their pages and as matching each dog to the right home is what we do, please make sure you read the information for each dog carefully to see if you could be right for them.

All dogs ready for rehoming have been:

• assessed
• vaccinated
• neutered/spayed
• microchipped and wormed

Although we are a dog rescue in Kent, some of our dogs are based in foster homes across the UK. We receive lots of applicants for each dog, and we believe it is vital to match the right dog with the right person. Once you have had a chat with us, have been home-checked and you had your ‘meet and greet’, they are ready to move in!

We do ask for a minimum donation of £300

South East Dog Rescue In Kent – Adoption Process

First of all you need to complete an application form online.

Once we have received your application form, we will assess it. If we think that your home may be suitable for one of our rescue dogs, we will arrange a home check. A home check is a visitation by one of our volunteers to your family home. It allows us to meet your family and examine the potential suitability of your home for one of our dogs. We conduct a home check to ensure that we place our rescue dogs in safe environments with responsible, loving owners.

At South East Dog Rescue in Kent it is our responsibility to ensure that we match each dog to the most suitable home – the home check helps us to do this. We ask that if you are truly committed to opening your heart and home to a rescue dog, you will be led by our expertise and guidance in ensuring that we provide the most suitable companion for your home.

Once we have found the best dog for your family, it is time for a Meet and Greet: a meeting between the rescue dog and all of the members of your family (including resident dogs). Your family will visit either the rescue centre or the foster home, depending on where the dog is located.

If the meet and greet is successful, you can take your new family member home. N.B. In some cases, you may need to wait a few days until all veterinary treatment is completed (e.g. neutering).

At South East Dog Rescue In Kent, we take our responsibility and commitment to our dogs very seriously. Therefore, if you need help and support once you take your dog home, we are here to help you. We are also here to take the dog back if things don’t work out.

South East Dog Rescue In Kent – Don’t Forget …

Taking on a rescue dog is a major commitment to care for a vulnerable soul for its entire life, so please make sure that you have seriously thought through your decision before applying. We will not lie to you – it can take rescue dogs time to settle into their new homes. Many of these dogs have been through tremendous upheaval and need to learn to trust again, to develop a new routine and understand what is expected of them in their new home.

If you are patient though, you will be rewarded with unconditional love and the most loyal companion who makes every day better than the last.
