We recently adopted Oscar from DogsnHomes Rescue and would highly recommend this fantastic charity to anyone looking for a puppy or dog. Gary & Michelle are extremely passionate about the valuable work they do and have also been incredible supportive and generous with their advice which has really helped Oscar to settle into to our family.

If you are thinking of adopting a pup you will not find a better place than Dogsnhomes. Gary, Michelle and their amazing team are truly dedicated, supportive and brilliant. The whole experience has been positive and straight forward from start to finish. We're over the moon with our amazing girl, Treacle, thanks to everyone at Dogsnhomes. March 2025

Adopted a wonderful rescue from DogsnHomes. Gary and Michelle were incredibly supportive throughout but most importantly were there for us afterwards too, when really needed. Wouldn't be without our much loved four-legged family member. Thanks so much for matching us! Highly recommended.

We recently adopted Joseph and are so happy to have constant assistance from Gary and Michelle before, during and after the adoption. This made the whole process super smooth and easy. Cannot speak highly enough of them and their team. Joseph is a very sweet dog who was obviously looked after and cared for in Portugal.

We adopted a rescue from DogsnHomes and the experience was first class. They kept us informed at all stages, carried out appropriate checks that told you the dogs wellbeing comes first and they remain in touch post adoption. With DogsnHomes you really are adopting into a family vibe.

DogsNhomes are a truly incredible organisation. Gary and Michelle (and the rest of the team) truly put their heart and soul into everything they are doing. Throughout the whole process of adopting our girl they both communicated and updated as often as possible, and even after adoption they have offered continued support. Would highly recommend!

Gary and Michelle are brilliant and all the volunteers we met were lovely and doing an incredible job. The application process was easy, and we were contacted to go through any questions we had and what we were looking for in a dog. Gary and Michelle kept us informed throughout the adoption process and let us know how our little pooch was doing. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and very grateful to DogsnHomes.

Had our pup from dogs n homes for 5 days now and he's settled in very well. The process from application to collection is very smooth. Gary & Michelle have been great at keeping up updated and sending pictures & videos, they're also great at giving advice and available for questions. Pippin (formerly Mango) has slotted well into our routine and is learning well of his new surroundings and we can't be happier he is apart of the family. Feb 2025

Such a lovely team that are very dedicated to the dogs! We got Merlin (was mystery) from these guys and honestly can’t praise them enough! Merlin is such a good pup and clearly was very well treated and trained whilst he was at the foster house. The folks running this charity are so hard working and dedicated; they involve you in the process of them coming over here and tell you so much information about the dogs and the places they’re coming from. Honestly if you’re looking to adopt I would highly recommend these guys!
