Apply to Relinquish a Dog

Need to Rehome Your Dog?

We understand that life can change, and sometimes it’s just not possible to keep your dog — no matter how much you love them. Whatever the reason, please know you’re not alone. At Team Poundie, we’re here to help, not judge.

If you need to give up your dog, we’ll do our very best to support you and find the right solution. Our priority is always the welfare of the dog, and we treat every case with care, respect, and complete confidentiality.

Please provide as much detail as possible about your situation and your dog so we can assess how best to help.

The Process

Submit an Relinquishment Form

Start by filling out our Relinquishment Form with detailed and honest information about your dog. The more we know — breed, age, temperament, health issues, behaviour, background, and the reason for rehoming — the better we can assess the situation.

We’ll Review and Contact You

Once we receive your form, our team will review the information carefully. We’ll get in touch to talk through your dog’s needs and your circumstances. We may ask for additional details or discuss alternative support if we can’t take your dog in right away.

Next Steps & Support

If we’re able to help, we’ll guide you through the next steps — including arranging a handover and preparing your dog for fostering or rehoming. If we can’t offer a place, we’ll do our best to support you with advice or signpost you to other trusted rescues.

To go ahead with an application, please fill out the form below and one of our team will be in touch.
