Also rehoming scotties if we are able to. Always looking for approved foster homes to assist us. PLEASE CONTACT US VIA INBOX/MESSAGE
The Scottish Terrier Rescue SA page is a vehicle or platform to assist the various shelters across SA in rehoming Scotties and Scottie crosses.We also rescue when needed. We do not advocate or encourage the selling of puppies either privately or from petshops or bre
eders on our page whatsoever. We do however promote the rehoming of Scotties that find themselves in shelters for whatever reason and support the principle of ADOPT DONT SHOP wholeheartedly! Although we appreciate support from all over the world, we CANNOT help with adoptions outside South African borders but you are welcome to share the Scotties with your South African friends! PLEASE NOTE
Posts asking for puppies for sale or any other scottie or posts puppies for sale, will be deleted. This is a rescue page, we deal with the puppies (if any) that were bred for money and thrown away, we deal with the scotties (plenty) landing in shelters because humans failed them, we deal with RESCUE. ADOPTION POLICY
*If you have an open pool, we will not approve you. The same applies to fish ponds. Scotties can drown easily due to their short legs and hair. Even if your own scotties swim easily, we will not consider you, accidents happen very quickly. Pools must be properly fenced or have a solid cover over. Floating covers will not be approved. Pool nets must have small holes.
*No palisade fencing will be approved if the dogs will be seen from the street or strangers can reach through and come close enough to try steal or poison the dogs.
*We insist that our dogs sleep inside, they are family after all! They are so much easier to poison when kept outside, especially at night. This will count in your favour when considering your application. And the older the dogs, the more reason so!
*All dogs WILL be sterilised prior to adoption, unless younger than 6 months old. We will arrange for sterilisation at appropriate age. We do NOT home our dogs to homes with unsterilised dogs, UNLESS there is a valid medical reason confirmed by your vet or if the doggie is very old. Apart from medical issues with them not being sterilised, you also put all animals on the property at risk, as dog thieves tend to go with unsterilised doggies who they can use as breeding machines. Unsterilised dogs also tend to ‘escape’ more easily, once again that puts all animals in danger of roaming the streets. Remember, it is about what is RIGHT AND SAFE for the scottie, its not about your feelings.
*We INSIST on a meet and greet with your own doggies, THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE!! *We feel strongly about scotties having access to the driveway, it is potentially unsafe and scotties like to run when gates open. We are strict about driveways that is accessible to the scottie, too many get out the gate and subsequently get lost or are easily stolen. Pallisade fencing must be secure with chicken mesh, to ensure no escape through the gaps.
*Home checks will ONLY BE CONDUCTED IF WE SEE PER YOUR APPLICATION THAT YOU ARE A MATCH FOR THE SCOTTIE(S)
*Adoption fees vary due to the different vets we make use of for the steri, innocs and chipping (their rates differ), but can range between R500 and R1 600 per dog. Fees for puppies will be adjusted accordingly. The fee will be reduced if more than one scottie (to same home) is adopted. THE FEE IS ONLY DUE ONCE THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED, THE HOME CHECK PASSED AND THE MEET AND GREET WAS SUCCESSFUL. THESE RULES ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE!!!!! FOSTER POLICY
*To become a foster human, you will need to apply via a foster application, obtainable from [email protected] as well as [email protected]
*A home check will be done, and if everything is in order, you will be placed on a list for when a foster is needed.
