How to find us:
Directions
From Bosley crossroads traffic lights at the junction of the A54 (Congleton
to Buxton) and A523 (Macclesfield to Leek) take the A523 towards
Leek. At 1.3 miles turn left into Smithy Lane (Froggatts garage on
corner). The drive to Stilesmeadow Dog Sanctuary is off to the right
about a mile up Smithy Lane.
Unfortunately, as with all aspects of life, we have to have certain rules and conditions - these are in place to protect both the dog and the families and all adopters are asked to sign to say they agree to abide by these:
 |
The dog must not
be left alone for a full working day (6-8 hours). Generally
rescue dogs need more companionship than most dogs as they are often
insecure through losing previous homes |
|
The adopter must
have a fenced garden or yard for the dog to play in safely |
|
A minimum
donation of £45 is required to help cover the cost of neutering and
microchipping |
|
The adopter must
agree to a home check by a member of the Stilesmeadow staff |
|
If the rehoming
does not work out the dog must be returned to Stilesmeadow
Dog Sanctuary |
|
Many dogs find themselves in rescue kennels due to bad treatment from children - please teach your children to respect the dog - the dog has his limits too! |
IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND AFTER RESERVING A DOG, PLEASE LET US KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS THE DOG COULD LOSE THE CHANCE OF ANOTHER HOME
Stilesmeadow Dog Sanctuary policy on rehoming to homes with children:
Unless there are exceptional circumstances we do not rehome to families with children under the age of 5.
Whilst we appreciate the advantages of bringing children up with responsible dog ownership, many of the dogs in Stiles find themselves there because of problems and cruelty from adults allowing young children to be cruel to them and then abandoning the unwanted and unruly pet.
Also we do not know the past history of most of the dogs in Stiles and so we could never vouch that the dog would be safe to rehome with young children. This could result in disastrous consequences.
