In order to match the right dog with the right home it is necessary to obtain as much information as possible.  Please copy the questionnaire below, paste into an email, answer all questions by putting crosses into the relevant boxes and send to fcr-uk@blueyonder.co.uk Your email enquiry should be acknowledged within a few days.  Your details will be kept on file for up to a year, but if you change your mind or obtain a dog from another source, please let us know so that your details can be removed. Our average expense for rehoming a dog is approximately £150 and we would ask for a donation to help us continue looking after dogs that need a new home. Please read our Code of Practice, which may answer any questions you have.
