At Tallpines Pets Retreat we rehome dogs and cats from different states of life

Our mission here is to give each and everyone one of them a new start in life with a new family who can give them the love, care and attention, that they need and deserve.

Our team will work with yourselves to match your needs, to the needs of the dogs and cats that come into our care.

The animals that we feature on our site are predominately those that have come to us for boarding; and unfortunately the owners are unable to cope with.

Strays and abandoned animals let go, for what ever reason.

We have young ones, old ones, special needs ones etc, we accept all for Rehoming, as we believe that every animal deserves a second chance at a happy and content life.

Once the animal has been signed over to us, we ensure that it has a warm bed to sleep in, enough food and water and most of all a lot of loving care and attention. We ensure that all animals that come into our care for Rehoming, get that special attention that all animals should have to ensure that they feel safe and loved; and that they will be cherished for the rest of their lives.

Once the animal has found that special home we will (if the new owners request it)

Questions to ask yourself before taking on a new pet

Whether it’s a cat or dog, they cost money. Both need annual boosters of vaccinations to protect them against diseases, worming and defleaing regularly, daily feeding, and on occasions may require veterinary attention. All this mounts up and can become very expensive.

Dogs need a lot more attention than cats. Cats can be very independent and will only require your time when they are sick. Dogs on the other hand require a lot more attention as they will be dependant on you and your family. You will need to exercise and groom them, this varies according to the breed. Training may also be required and this will require a lot of your time, dependant on the dogs background and whether he/she has had any training in the past.

Everyone that lives in the family home with the animal should be involved with the animal’s wellbeing, to ensure that the animal is happy, healthy and keeps to the family rules. This will ensure that the animal does not become confused.

This must be thought of very carefully, as this will depend on the size and breed of the animal that you want to rehome. If you want to rehome a Doberman, Great Dane, Border Collie, then you should not live in a studio flat, as these breeds need a lot of space to exercise in. If you are looking for a companion to go to the local park once a day, then you would be better off with a smaller breed.
After considering the above, and you are happy with your decisions, then the next thing that we would ask is that you come and meet the animal. At Tall Pines Pets Retreat we strongly recommend that the whole family, who will be involved in the well being of the animal, attend.

When you first take your companion home with you, you will need to spend a lot of time with them, to get to know each other. Your companion will need to learn where he/she fits into your family and home; so it is important that you spend as much time as you can, teaching her/him the basic rules from the beginning.
