Apply to adopt
Our major concern is finding the right home for our dogs. We therefore ask all prospective adoptants, before they are approved for adoption, to complete this adoption form, giving all the necessary information in full. Once your form is received and you're selected as the most suitable candidate, we set up a Messenger chat with yourself, Elena Popa (our frontline rescuer and fosterer in Romania) and Sue Allery (who deals with the administration). This method allows all parties to ask any questions they may have regarding the dog they hope to adopt and is vital in helping us to make the best match possible for both dog and adoptant.
Important information
Please read our Adoption Process page before completing an application*. All RACE dogs are prepared for entering the UK in strict accordance with DEFRA Regulations. The Adoption Fee** we ask for covers the cost of transport from Romania, includes vaccinations, flea and worm treatment, neutering (if over six months of age), micro-chipping and passport preparation. The non-returnable Adoption Fee for England and Wales is £360 per dog un-neutered and £410 per dog neutered. If the dog you are adopting is under the age of six months, the neutering will be your responsibility and is a term of your Adoption Agreement. We do follow up on this.
*Applicants must be over 25 years old.
**If you have passed the adoption application process and home check, a £50 non-refundable deposit will be required to reserve your new family member.
Form or processing error?
Sometimes our website gets such a high traffic that the online application form doesn't submit and freezes on "Processing..." If you encounter this issue, please contact race-support@studiorigiani.com immediately so this can be resolved asap. Sometimes this could take up to 24 hours.
