Meet Bella!
You may remember Bella, our adorable little Chihuahua, who came to us recently from the pound.
She was just packing her suitcase to head off into the sunset to her forever home when a trip to the vets revealed that she’s expecting. Well, she kept that quiet!
Bella is currently safe and well in foster care however we are desperately on the hunt for a local fosterer who has experience with birthing and puppies. Could this be you? Or do you know someone who might be able to help us? For Bella’s safety, we cannot consider applications from fosterers with no previous maternity experience.
All of Bella’s medical expenses will of course be covered by RATS, and all food, equipment etc will be provided.
A quiet, experienced foster home close to our vet in Reed (Hertfordshire) is what we are urgently looking for. There will of course be vet visits throughout and after her pregnancy to ensure that Bella and her pups are well and healthy. We’re aware that we’re asking for the holy grail of fosterers but hopefully if we spread the word, the right person will come to the rescue.

ADOPTION PROCESS
We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.
Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:
Step 1:
The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.
Step 2:
The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.
Step 3:
The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.
Step 4:
The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.
Step 5:
A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.
Step 6:
If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
