MOONACRE is our home. We share our lives with our rescued animals, and each one is a deeply cherished member of our family. When you register your interest in one of our dogs, we take great care to ensure that you are the right person to love, protect, and commit to that dog for the rest of his or her life.
The first stage of our adoption process is an informal conversation about the kind of dog you’re looking for. We’ll take the time to get to know you and offer guidance and advice on any suitable matches we may have.
If a potential match is identified, we will send you an application form to complete and return. The form helps us understand your circumstances and address any questions or concerns that may arise – it does not commit you to adoption.
If you seem like a good match for one of our dogs, the next step is to arrange a series of video checks. These give us the opportunity to talk through any questions or concerns and to decide together whether the dog and your family are the right fit.
If you are approved for adoption, the next step is arranging your dog’s journey to their new home with you. We take care of all the arrangements in consultation with you, keeping you fully informed about timings, travel plans, and providing all the necessary paperwork. Your dog will be flown into a European airport and then transported by a professional pet courier to a collection point convenient for you.
Our dogs rehomed to the UK also come with the mandatory UK Health Certificates. They are blood tested, fully vaccinated, neutered, and treated for both internal and external parasites.
You’ll also receive a detailed briefing on preparing your home and family to welcome your new dog. We provide as much advice and support as you need, and once your dog has arrived, we remain available at all times – no question is too small. We’ll continue to offer guidance for as long as you need us.
Please be assured that we offer lifelong support for every dog, no matter where they are in the world. If your circumstances ever change and you can no longer care for your dog, simply call us, and we will be there to help.

Finally, a word on costs: we recommend adopters budget £700 – 850 to cover export and adoption. You only pay the exact cost of veterinary preparation for export, travel, and crate hire – there are no hidden admin fees or profit added.
We aim to keep costs as low as possible without cutting corners. Our dogs deserve full health care and safe transport using certified carriers and road transporters. Costs can vary depending on the route, airline, and time of year.
