Adoption & care guides

To ensure you are applying for the perfect pet to fit your lifestyle and requirements we have some handy adoption and care guides available.

Please click on the relevant link and you will find some in depth information about the animal you are interested in, including what to expect during your adoption journey, animals’ housing requirements and adoption fees. Many of the animals we have available for adoption have long life spans and it is a big decision when welcoming any animal into your family. It is also important to consider the financial commitment an animal will require in the form of insurance, vaccinations, and ongoing health checks to keep them happy and healthy.

If you have any questions, they should be answered in the following adoption and care guides but if you need any further assistance please do contact us. We are here to help.

Meet Albert, who is one of our most heartwarming transformations.

When Albert arrived at Raystede, he was nervous, underweight and suffering with painful patches of dry skin and sore joints.

At Raystede, we don’t just rehome animals, we rehabilitate them first, giving the best chance at a happy and healthy life. From healthcare to behavioural therapy, every step of their journey is carefully guided so they can trust again.

You can make a difference. A gift today will help make sure we can continue to care for all our animals, giving them the love and care they deserve.
