Woodrock Animal Rescue is a registered Non – Profit Organisation (NPO 103-156) and Public Benefits Organisation. We are funded through community support. Our important work on behalf of animals is reliant on the generosity of our donors.

Woodrock Animal Rescue Adoption Policy

Woodrock believes that each animal deserves a loving, stable "forever home"; for this reason, the re-homing process is extensive.​ ​All animals in our care are treated as our own animals and so the adoption process is strict to ensure that only the best possible home is found for our furry friends. All animals will be sterilized, inoculated, rabie vaccinated and dewormed prior to adoption, and a vaccination health record reflecting all relative historical information is handed over, upon delivery of our furry friend to its new owner.

Condition Precedent to the adoption agreement and limited title to the adopted animal

If at any time, throughout the future life of the adopted animal, Woodrock Animal Rescue at its sole discretion, determines that the welfare of the adopted animal is compromised, then Woodrock Animal Rescue retains the RIGHT to re-take possession of the adopted animal from its guardian (person adopting the animal) and to refund all adoption monies paid. The guardian accordingly agrees to this and further agrees to Woodrock Animal Rescue entering the premises where the animal is being held. The guardian further agrees that no change in guardianship to the adopted animal shall take place without the prior approval of Woodrock Animal Rescue.

Woodrock Animal Rescue Adoption Procedure

  • A telephonic interview is conducted between the adoptee and a Woodrock Animal Rescue representative. This interview will best be able to establish if a particular dog will be appropriate for a home and that the home is suitable for a dog in our rescue.
  • If all criteria are met during the telephonic interview, the potential adoptee will be invited to view the animal or animals in question as well and others available for adoption. During this meeting, the adoptee may make a decision as to whether they would like to embark on a trial period or not. Woodrock retains the right to refuse an adoption trial period based on their personal discretion.
  • If both the adoptee and Woodrock are happy and comfortable with the initial meeting, a home check date is arranged and the furry friend’s adoption papers are put in order. If the house check is up to standard, the furry friend will then be handed over for a trial period. This means that should it not work out after a few days, the animal may be returned, no questions asked!
  • After a week if all is in order, the financial amount is then processed for the adoption. This amount covers a non-negotiable sterilization, inoculations, deworming and deflea procedures.

Puppies that are adopted are only taken if assurances and follow-ups are made regarding sterilization once the puppy comes of age. This is strictly monitored as Woodrock aims at all costs to eliminate the increase in animal breeding when there are so many unwanted animals out there looking for a home.

Due to the nature of rescue, many times we are unable to ascertain the “house-trained” ability of the animals and so we stress that patience is emphasized over the transition phase. Woodrock also has some great tips and tricks regarding potty training.

We are always available for advice, a chat or reassurance! By adopting an animal with us you are embarking into an ongoing relationship and we are always there for you as you are to the animal.

Please note Woodrock also has five star kennel facilities so should you wish to leave your animals in the best hands whilst you are away from home.
