Frequently Asked Questions
Do you always do home checks?
For local re-homing, yes certainly. It is crucial for match our furry friends to their perfect forever home
Do you re-home outside the Fylde?
Yes. Because we won't be able to get out for a homecheck in person we ask for a vet reference and proof of ID and your current address. Pictures of your property are also useful.
How much must I pay for an animal?
Easterleigh Animal Sanctuary typically ask for an adoption donation of £80 for cats (2 for £120) and £200 for Dogs. Adoption fees may vary depending on the individual animal/owner. Puppies and Kittens may also vary.
Do you rehome to homes with children?
Unfortunately ,it would be very irresponsible of us to rehome adult dogs with young children. We will not rehome an adult dog to a home with children under the age of 7. However, we would consider rehoming young puppies to these homes as the dog would grow with the children.
Will the animal I adopt from you be neutered?
All animals from Easterleigh are neutered/spayed or are booked in upon leaving us. Puppies and kittens too young to be spayed must be done by the new owner as part of the adoption contract.
What if I want to breed my pet?
As a Sanctuary whose primary objective is to rescue unwanted animals we cannot and do not condone actively breeding. Obviously if no-one ever bred any dogs or cats again there would be no companion animals at all, however since we are so very, VERY far from that scenario we feel it is perfectly reasonable to insist that any pets we re-home are neutered.
Do you re-home horses?
Yes! we occasionally have horses available for rehoming, however, the majority of horses are exclusively here for permanent retirement, be that due to age or health issues.
Where are you based?
The sanctuary is based in Blackpool, however we are not operating in a public setting and we are still currently using private kennels for our dogs.
What do our donations go towards?
Donations go towards the day to day running of the sanctuary, progressing our development plans and general animal requirements (such as vet bills)
We have long waiting lists of animals needing to be rehomed Cats and Dogs in the highest demand. There is a community need for our new kennels and cattery facilities so please help us however you can.
