Rescue centres in Surrey
As well as general rehoming centres, Surrey has specialist dog rescues, greyhound and lurcher rescues and rabbit and small animal rescues, so it is worth checking which rescues focus on the type of animal you are hoping to adopt.

How to adopt a rescue pet in Surrey
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application form, meet the animal (often more than once) and have a home check before adoption. Many centres work by appointment, so check opening hours before you visit. An adoption fee usually covers vaccinations, microchipping and neutering where appropriate. Be ready to tell the rescue about your home, garden, working hours and any other pets or children, so they can match you with the right animal.
