How joining works
Three small steps, and a real person says hello.
Because this is just for our adopters, someone from the rescue team checks every request. It keeps the Circle safe — and it's quick.
Sign up with your email
Pick a password, then we'll email you a 6-digit code to confirm it's really you.
Tell us about your dog
Your dog's name and the year you adopted — so we can find you in our adoption records.
The rescue team approves you
A real person on our team checks your request, usually within 2 days. Sign back in to check — once you're approved, you go straight in.
Request to join takes about 2 minutes
What you can do
Three things, done simply.
We kept it small on purpose. No clutter, no algorithm, no strangers — just the good stuff that keeps our pack connected.
Share the happy updates
First beach day, the gotcha-day anniversary, that ridiculous sleeping position. Quick to post, lovely to scroll — and it never gets buried.
Your dog gets their own little timeline
Ask the real questions
Crate training, car rides, that weird bark at 3am — ask adopters who've been exactly where you are, with the rescue team reading along.
Good answers stay easy to find later
Find a walking buddy nearby
See which adopters live close and set up a walk. More socialising for the dogs, more friendly faces for you.
Only your rough area, and only if you opt in
Why not just the Facebook group?
Built for this. Only this.
- Members-onlyEvery person here adopted from us. Introduce yourself knowing everyone belongs.
- Rescue-moderatedOur team keeps it kind, on-topic and spam-free. No selling, no drama.
- Updates that stickPhotos and answers stay findable, not buried under an endless feed.
- Neighbours, not strangersFind adopters near you for real-world walks — without ever sharing your address.
| Question | Big group | Adopter Circle |
|---|---|---|
| Who's in it | Anyone who asks | Only our adopters |
| Who runs it | Volunteers, when they can | Our rescue team |
| Ads & selling | Yes | Never |
Facebook, Slack and the big community apps are built for everything. We built this for one thing: supporting the families who gave our dogs a home.
For our adopters
Always free — this one's on the rescue.
Adopter Circle is our thank-you, and a way to stay in touch for the long haul. You never pay a cent to be here.
Free
for every adopter, forever
- Photo updates and your dog's timeline
- Questions answered by adopters and our team
- Walking buddies near you (opt-in)
Later, a gentle “chip in” link may appear for anyone who'd like to support the rescue. Always optional, never required.
Request to joinGood questions
Before you join
Still wondering?
Ask us at your next check-in, or reply to any email from the rescue. A real person will answer.
Who can join?
Any family who adopted a dog from our rescue — whether that was last week or ten years ago. Adults only, please: the person signing up should be 18 or over.
How long does approval take?
Usually within 2 days. Someone on our team matches your dog's name and adoption year to our records, then approves you. Just sign back in to check — once you're approved, you go straight in.
If we can't find you, someone from the rescue will reach out rather than leave you hanging.
Is it private?
Yes. Only approved adopters can see anything inside. Posts don't appear in search engines and there's no public profile page. This page is the only part anyone else can see.
Does it cost anything?
No — it's free for every adopter, forever. The rescue covers it.
What happens to my info?
We use it only to run the Circle. We never sell it, and we never share your exact location — the walking-buddy feature only ever uses a rough area, and only if you switch it on. To delete your account, contact the rescue. Read the privacy page.
Ready to meet the pack?
