These advertisements are placed on the behalf of people who need to find a new home for their dog. We make no charge for this service either to the advertiser or the adopter. As with all private transactions do not assume everything you are being told is the truth!

WARNING: People who steal and abuse dogs, sell animals to laboratories and train fighting dogs often answer "free to good home" ads. For your dogs's safety, research potential adopters carefully before directing them to your home. For your dogs and your safety it is better to visit them.

NOTE: adverts are removed 2 months after their submission date. Please e-mail us if you find a home for your dog or would like to have your advert removed. All addresses are in the United Kingdom of Great Britain unless otherwise stated. Make sure you press CTRL R or click on your browsers Reload or Refresh button several times to see the latest version of this page.

E-mail your advertisement to advert@dogrescue.info Please remember to indicate where the dog is located.

Lost Your Dog? To place its details on this Notice Board, fill in the lost dog form at Lost Dogs UK (if the link is not working try again later) or at Lurcher Search UK (they will accept details of any breed). This service is free unlike some others. Paying to register a lost dog is no guarantee that it will be more effective in finding your dog than a free listing. Reporting your lost dog to either organisation will result in it being circulated to rescues, dog wardens and listed on Lost Dogs UK, Lurcher Search, champdogs.co.uk message board and the Dog Rescue Net Notice Board.

No 'Wanted' Adverts We are no longer placing adverts here for people wanting dogs.

NOTE: we do not send e-mails from advert@dogrescue.net or advert@dogrescue.info If you receive one we did not send it so delete the message!


Dogs are STOLEN everyday - have your dog microchipped. Dogs are stolen and end up in stray dog pounds miles from home. If they are not claimed within 7 days they can be rehomed or killed. Hundreds of 'stray' dogs are rehomed or killed every week because their owner cannot be identified. You have no right to claim the dog after 7 days. A microchip can also be used to prove that the dog is yours if ownership is disputed. Click here for more information.

Your dog is valuable to you - and to thieves! Dogs and puppies are being stolen everyday. Do not leave your dog tied up outside a shop or leave it in a car! Check how many dogs go 'missing' from gardens!
Keep Your Dog Safe
Walk your dog on a lead at all times. Do not leave your dog unattended in the garden. It is better not to put your dog in the garden at all as they can become targets. If your dog lives outside you should consider bringing it inside as dogs can easily be removed from locked kennels (see notices below). See the reports below of dogs 'missing' from gardens. Have your dog microchipped. It is likely to be the only way your dog will be returned to you if it is stolen and dumped. Dogs go missing from gardens, often at night. Houses are broken into and the dog is stolen. Dogs are stolen from unattended cars (see notices below). Dogs often go missing the same day that 'travellers' move on. All dogs can be sold or 'held for ransom' so do not assume your dog is not a target.

Video of Dog Thieves - Cranleigh, Surrey.
Click here to see the video This will not be the first time these thieves have stolen and it will not be the last. There are thieves operating in your area. The dogs were recovered. Precautions to keep your dog safe:
• Keep the gates to your property shut.
• If you discover intruders on your property make sure your dogs are locked inside because the thieves will return.
• Do not let your dogs wander where they can be seen from the road or public footpath.
• Keep your dogs inside, not in an outside kennel or place where they are alone.
• Thieves are particularly interested in Sighthounds, Spaniels and Terriers but they will take any dog regardless of age.
• Unwanted stolen dogs have been dropped from moving vehicles on motorways. Stolen dogs recovered by the Police have died days later.
• Do not allow admittance to people who call wanting to 'trim your tree or hedge'. These people pass on information to the thieves about the dogs on the property.
• Do not let your dogs follow you to the door where they can be seen by callers.
• Do not leave your dog tied up outside a shop.
• Keep your dog in sight when out walking. Thieves will send their dog to your dog then whistle their dog back to them and grab your dog when it follows.
• Make sure your dog is microchipped and the information is up-to-date. It may be the only reason why you get your dog back.
• If your dog is valuable to you then it is valuable to a thief - KEEP YOUR DOG SAFE.
