Frequently asked questions

One on one service

How does it work?

We will have a meeting online where we will discuss what you are looking for in great detail. Once I get everything I need to find, not only The Right Dog for you and your family, but also the one for whom you are going to be the IDEAL candidate. I will send you an email during the next 48 hours with up to 3 candidates perfectly matched to your requirements. Not only that! I will tell you exactly what the dog rescue needs to know in order to jump through their hoops with ease. After you have met the dog/s, we will have another meeting to discuss any questions. Once you have your dog and you are happy with your match, I would love to hear again from you and your happy ending.

Why not go straight to a rescue centre?

You can always go straight to the rescue centre and ask them for their advice. But keep in mind that: they are always understaffed and overstretched. So chances are that they will not be able to help you right now. The other issue about going to them is that they can only offer what they have, so they are quite limited. Indeed, their usual advice is “keep looking on our website”. I know it very well, because I have used it many times while working for them.

But I can’t find my right dog, how are you going to do it?

After many years of setting the criteria for dogs under my care, I can picture the ideal adopter that the dog rescues are looking for. That way, I can help you stand out from the crowd and get exactly The Right Dog for you. Not only that, during our meeting we will get to the root of the dog that you want. And I will find them amongst the hundreds of dogs currently up for adoption. As long as you have some flexibility and stay open-minded, you can get what you want.

How long will it take?

After our first meeting, I will send you an email in the next 48 hours with up to 3 candidates perfectly matched to your expectations. Once you have conctacted the rescue organization/s, it will depend on their process, but it is usually between 2 and 7 days to send the dog home, and the majority will expect from you to meet the dog in the next 24 hours after they contact you back.

How much it cost?

The whole service of getting to the bottom of what you want, finding not only a dog that matches your criteria, but also for whom you are the IDEAL candidate and making sure that your whole experience is just the beginning of a wonderfull story is £149

What if I don’t like your suggestions?

It can happen that despite understanding exactly what you are looking for, maybe the looks of that particular dog or the process or even the rescue organization is not of your liking. In that case, I will continue sending you candidates until you find The Right Dog for you (for two weeks since the first 121 online). Keep in mind that I don’t have a group of dogs that I need to rehome. My sole purpose is for you to be successful getting your perfect rescue dog.

The Right Dog Alerts Membership

How can I create an alert?
Is the The Right Dog alert system FREE to join?

Yes! Becoming part of The Right Dog alert system is FREE. You will receive an email alert every time The Right Dog for you is available for adoption. For as long as you are looking for them!

Does it cover all the UK?

At the moment we only cover England, Wales and parts of Scotland. Unfortunately, we cannot provide alerts in Northern Ireland.

Which dog rescues are included in your database?

We are adding more weekly, but currently we provide alerts of dogs from Dogs Trust, RSPCA, Blue Cross, Battersea and Woodgreen. Do you have any particular dog rescue that you would like us to add? Please, contact us at cristina@therightdog.co.uk and we will do our best to add it soon.

How may emails will I receive?

We will send you as many emails and as soon as a dog that meets your requirements is ready to be adopted. It will depend on your criteria and how specific your search is, you will receive more or less alerts. But rest assured we will let you know if we have a match.

I’ve signed up, but I’m not receiving emails?

The best way to make sure you receive our emails is by adding our email address (cristina@therightdog.co.uk) to your address book. Do that first, and then check if they’re hiding in your spam folder. If there’s still no sign, email us at cristina@therightdog.co.uk, and we’ll sort it out.

I found my rescue dog thanks to this. How can I return the favour?

Congratulations! We are so happy to be of help! If you found us useful, we would love for you to share The Right Dog alert system with your friends and family. We’re changing the adoption process one dog at a time! Oh, and send us a picture of your new dog! We want to know everything about your happy ending.

I no longer need my alert, how do I unsubscribe?

You can just eliminate your alert and we will stop sending you more. If you want to completely delete your account, send us an email to cristina@therightdog.co.uk, and we’ll sort it out.

Can you help me get The Right Dog for me?

Sure! Why not book a 121 with me, where we will discuss everything that you are looking for on your new dog. Give me 48 hours to search for them and I’ll find you up to 3 dogs that not only will meet your specific criteria, but for whom you’ll be their IDEAL candidate. So, not only will the rescues be eager to contact you once you apply, but also you will take home The Right Dog for you and your family. How does it sound?
