5. Was any aftercare provided by the charity? For example, if your animal had an existing condition did they continue to pay for treatment, or if a condition developed after you took the animal home did they contribute to treatment? YES FOLLOW UP ADVISE,THEY WOULDNT REHOME HIM UNTIL HIS TREATMENT WAS COMPLETED
6. Did you receive a home visit or follow up call after adoption? FOLLOW UP CALL
7. After adoption did feel that the charity had matched you up to the correct animal for you? YES
8. Were you happy with the service that the charity provided during the adoption process and if not is there anything that you think could be improved upon? ALL GOOD,WOULD ADVISE ANY ONE TO GO TO DOGS TRUST

If you could reply to these questions via email to rap10082128@students.nortcoll.ac.uk that would be brilliant as I can’t access forums at college, however if would prefer just to reply on the forum that would be fine as I can access them from home.

Many thanks for all of your help.

I’m doing a college project entitled “Investigate the rescue and rehoming methods of animal welfare charities” for my BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and I was wondering if you’d be good enough to help me.

I am looking for people who have rehomed animals through the following charities:
RSPCA
Blue Cross
Cats Protection
Dogs Trust
Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary (Bristol)
The Moggery (Bristol)
Avon Small Animal Rescue (Bristol)

If you have adopted any animals through these charities and have a few minutes to spare I’d very much appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

1. Which charity did you choose and why? Jerry Greenthey have a good reputation
2. Did you have to undergo a “home check” before adoption and if so, were you happy with the way this was carried out? Yes
3. How long was it before you were told you were suitable? That day as Gemma was in depression and she need re homing ASAP
4. Did you have a clear idea of the type of animal you wanted (long haired, short haired, age, sex or even species!) and did you come away with what you wanted or were you persuaded by the charity to take something else? I have always had German Shepherds so Gemma needed an experienced home and she was what I wanted.... I had her for 11 years :-)
5. Was any aftercare provided by the charity? For example, if your animal had an existing condition did they continue to pay for treatment, or if a condition developed after you took the animal home did they contribute to treatment? All bitches are spayed before they leave Jerrys but Gemma was too ill so they paid for her when she was well enough.... I paid for her other treatment as I didn't want them to pay
6. Did you receive a home visit or follow up call after adoption? yes
7. After adoption did feel that the charity had matched you up to the correct animal for you? Absolutely
8. Were you happy with the service that the charity provided during the adoption process and if not is there anything that you think could be improved upon? 100% happy

If you could reply to these questions via email to rap10082128@students.nortcoll.ac.uk that would be brilliant as I can’t access forums at college, however if would prefer just to reply on the forum that would be fine as I can access them from home.
