"What a wonderful organisation this is. Their dedication and love for dogs is obvious. Very helpful with good advice on what dogs may stir the lifestyle of potential adopters. We have now adopted 2 dogs from Just for Dogs and highly recommend a visit."

"Just for Dogs is an incredible rescue centre, and we’re so grateful for the work they do. From the moment we first contacted them, it was clear how dedicated and compassionate the team is not just toward the dogs in their care, but also toward the people hoping to give them a second chance.The adoption process was nice, easy and supportive. They took great care to match us with the right dog, making sure both our home and lifestyle would be a good fit. It never felt rushed; their priority was clearly the welfare of the dogs, and that really meant a lot to us. They absolutely nailed it with our match!We adopted Gordy—now renamed Risotto (Otto for short)—and he is an absolute angel. It took a few days for our resident doggo Peggy to get used to the idea of him staying, but everything is going so well!He is the biggest klutz ever—he doesn’t seem to know his own size, constantly bumping into things and tripping us up! We have to be extra careful coming down the stairs as he uses us as a brake! He’s a huge goofball who loves winding up his sister and playing with everything he can find in the toy box. He’s already learned to sit and wait, and he’s doing brilliantly with his lead training too.Otto is the best snuggle buddy with the sweetest soul. Once he’s had his moment of madness, he’s more than happy to curl up on the sofa with us or sprawl across the floor—usually right in the way! He’s the cutest little tripping hazard.We can’t wait to see what the future holds. It honestly feels like he’s always been a part of our little family, and he’s been the perfect match for Peggy. Thank you, Just for Dogs, for bringing this goofy, loving boy into our lives, we couldn’t imagine it without him now.If you’re thinking about adopting or supporting a rescue, we wholeheartedly recommend this amazing centre."

"We came with work to do a community day volunteering and redecorating and painting inside and out. The staff are great, extremely helpful and the dogs are so friendly and loving. I used to walk the dogs a few years ago also. Its such a lovely place."

"We looked at a couple of places to find our forever furry friend, but none were as welcoming as JFD. They couldn't do enough to help us from the first contact we made, upto and including the present day. We now have an unbelievably fantastic dog Maggie (Nora). We will be forever grateful 🙏 Thank you JFD, we can't recommend you highly enough ❤"
