How It Works

We are here to take in animals who become homeless due to a change in circumstance

Not matter what animal you are interested in, rehoming is arranged by pre-booked appointment only.

To see our rescue animals who are currently looking for their new homes, please visit their rehoming profiles to find out more about them and the homes they are searching for.

The Rehoming Process

Our rehoming process is designed specifically to help potential owners rehome an animal that fits in perfectly with their lives and loved ones. If you see an animal that you are interested in, please complete the form on their profile. If you are a possible match, our team will be in touch to discuss the next steps.

Initial Phone Call

We will arrange a telephone call to discuss the animal’s needs and to learn more about your lifestyle and the companion you’re looking for.

Step 1

Home Check

Next, a Zoom call or a home visit will be organised to discuss the process in more detail and to discover more about your home and garden.

Step 2

Further Checks

If applicable, we will ask for a vet reference, check your address and ask for confirmation from your landlord that you are able to have an animal at home.

Step 3

The First Meeting

We will invite you to come and meet your potential new companion. This will give you the opportunity to find out more about them and see if they could be the right match for you.

Step 4

Additional Meetings

Sometimes, it will be necessary to organise further visits at the centre to get to know your animal and introduce them to any additional pets or family members.

Step 5

Home Time!

The final step will involve completing the rehoming paperwork, discussing any final details, paying the rehoming fee and taking your new companion off to enjoy a lifetime of happiness with you! Our support doesn’t end after an animal leaves our care. We will always be here to offer help and advice when you may need it.

Step 6

Rehoming Fees

After finding your companion, we kindly ask for a rehoming fee to help towards the cost of caring for the animal during their time with us.

I will be forever grateful to this wonderful charity. I had to make the incredibly sad decision to re-home on of my cats as they were not getting along for month and the situation was becoming very distressing for everyone. I emailed MGAR seeking advise and had a very prompt response from them. Beyond the sadness and overwhelming sense of guilt I was pleased to see how caring and lovely the staff are, the place is like a dream, I called often to find out how things were going and they always kindly updated me, until he found his hopefully forever home. Thank you so much.

We came here to donate after our pet past away. Its lovely quiet place and staff were saying they are always looking for new pet owners to give a loving home .its a Shame that majority of people seeking cats always go for certain colours rather than personalities. Nice walk around complex and free parking right next to the gate entrance to all animals . Horses ' pigs ' birds' cats' g pigs' et.c.. Great drive tgrough narrow roads. Well.done for the staff looking after these animals seeking new homes
