Welcome to the Shared Adoption Scheme

(SAS) is a well established scheme to allow dogs of extreme old age or require ongoing veterinary treatment for one, or multiple, documented pre-existing condition(s) to be rehomed. We now have over 9,000 dogs on the scheme. The SAS is funded by charitable donations and it is not an insurance scheme. 

To find out more about this scheme, please read our terms and conditions.
