Salisbury Dogs Trust are kind, patient and supportive

When we arrived at Dogs Trust in Salisbury we spoke to Lorna first on the desk. She was very friendly and informative and could tell us everything about the two dogs we were interested in. She was so smiley and warm and she took us right through the adoption process. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We also spoke to Kat who introduced us to Sully. She was absolutely lovely, with lots of patience and advice. I found that everyone we spoke to was kind and patient and really wanted to support us. The handover was very thorough and every single silly question I had was answered ! The staff explained how they could help us going forward and I really feel like we have a support network in place. We have brought Sully home now and everything has changed. I can't imagine life without him. I would recommend Dogs Trust for the care and patience they show and how they gently guide and support you though the adoption stages. You can see that they care so much for the dogs and want them to go to a safe and loving home.

On picking up max

On picking up max i felt as if there was a full support team ready to help and advice me on any problems that may occur. but also the staff in the glasgow centre made it a very enjoyable experience also made me personally feel that me and max's wellbeing going forward was the most important thing I will end by saying 5 stars is not enough 10 stars would be more deserved

Completely stunned

I have today been completely stunned by the behavior of a representative of dogs trust at my home. Clear message on the door that we dont want canvassers to call, but call she did. I told her to read the notice, at which point she started banging on my glass door shouting ' do you want a dog, do you want a dog, do you want a dog !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told her to leave. I should point out we are in our 70s. We watched her go to our neigbour who are more senior than us. I walked over and told her they have a notice on their door as well. She started shouting at me in the street to go and sit down and have a coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have lived here for 39yrs and have never experienced anything like it. I phoned dogs trust, and was told to fill in a form !!!! Instead I reported this to the police. I'm sure the trust do amazing work re homing dogs, but this is one charity that I would never support if they choose people like that to represent them.

Excellent

Welcoming, knowledgeable staff who want the best for the dogs in their care. The adoption process was clear and well organised. We were able to arrange as many socialisation sessions between our current dogs and the new dog until we were confident they would get on well. I would recommend the Dogs Trust Cardiff to anyone wanting to re-home a rescue dog.

Nothing was too much trouble

From the first time we went to dogs trust Salisbury we were made most welcome. With regard to our adoption, nothing was too much trouble for their staff and the help and advice given was most welcome. Such lovely staff who obviously love all the dogs in their care and they work so hard to make things work out in the end.

Lovely staff, wonderful organisation

All of our contact with the lovely people from Dogs Trust has been extremely positive. It did seem strange at first, letting someone else choose a dog for us, and the girl they found might not have been our first pick. However, after bringing her home a few days ago, I have no doubt that she will be the perfect addition to our family. Dogs Trust is a wonderful organisation, will knowledgeable staff who care deeply for each and every dog in their care. I would definitely recommend adopting from Dogs Trust.

Great guidance to ensure great matches

From beginning to end, the experience was smooth, informative and genuinely centred around Mops’ needs.

I worked with Louise to arrange Mops’ adoption and she was absolutely brilliant — responsive, helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. The behavioural therapist on site also gave us some really useful advice and practical options to help keep Mops focused and supported as he settles in.

Overall, we felt completely set up for success, and our beautiful boy is already settling in so well. We’re so grateful for the care, guidance and support we received.
