Frequently asked questions about  Gotcha Day Rescue.

General Questions

How long has Gotcha day been running?

Gotcha day was first established in March 2022.

Who was the first dog homed by gotcha Day? 

Our first dog was Pippa, she came to us on the 8th March 2022. She was a Yorkshire Terrier cross, 2 years old and only 5.8kg!

Pippa's gotcha day is on the 3rd April 2022.

Are there any risk of diseases with any Gotcha Day dog?

No.  All gotcha day dogs are given all vaccinations needed and if from abroad they are tested for 4DX and brucella.

Can I adopt a intact dog?

All the adult dogs that come into our care are neutered. Puppies who are too young to be neutered will be subject to a neutering contract. This form must be signed by the adopter before they can adopt their chosen dog. This means that when the puppy or dog is able to be neutered, the adopter has agreed to neuter them asap.

What can you tell me about the dogs?

Most of our dogs from Europe have been found abandoned or wandering the streets, malnourished, scared or injured. They are cared for initially by our wonderful rescuers who prepare them for travel to the UK. If they are UK dogs we do sometimes have their previous history. All of our dogs go into a foster home first before adoption and are fully assessed. We can then give you information about the nature and character of the dog. Any information we have on each dog can be found in their profile.
