Oakwood Dog Rescue, established in 2009 and located in Hull, East Yorkshire, is dedicated to finding permanent homes for dogs. Their expertise lies in rehoming both international ex-street dogs and dogs from the UK.
The primary objective at Oakwood Dog Rescue is "One Home Only." Rather than prioritizing speed in finding homes, their approach is to match each dog with the most suitable households, ensuring a secure and lasting connection that allows the dogs to thrive in their newfound homes.
Ensuring the well-being of rescued dogs is crucial therefore all dogs at Oakwood Dog Rescue undergo comprehensive care, including neutering, flea treatment, deworming, full vaccination, and microchipping. For oversea dogs, rigorous blood testing is conducted prior their arrival in the UK.
Every dog in care undergoes continuous evaluation during their stay at the rescue. The skilled staff, actively engage with the dogs to assess their compatibility with both children and other dogs, ensuring a thorough understanding of each dog’s unique needs and characteristics.
To assist adopters, Oakwood Dog Rescue offers valuable support such as, 5 weeks of complimentary insurance with Agria, providing a safety net for unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, mandatory dog insurance ensures a reliable backup for the dogs in case of need. Furthermore, Oakwood Canine Services provides all adopters with a generous 6 weeks of free obedience training, empowering adopters to build a strong and special bond with their new companions.
