If you have a Welsh Terrier that you may need to put up for adoption, here are a few things you can do to help us to find the best possible home for your dog:

1. Locate your dog's AKC Registration papers. If your dog's papers are available, we will request that you turn them over with the dog to WTCARES. Your dog's breeder may be notified that a dog of his/her kennel is being given up for adoption.

2. Contact your dog's veterinarian. Get a copy of your dog's shot record and medical record. If your dog is due to have shots, please consider having this done. It makes things much easier for the new family.

3. Make some notes about your dog, such as what kind of dog food s/he eats, treats, toys, habits (both good and bad ones), any information that you think would be useful to a new owner.

4. Contact the WTCARES committee member closest to you  to discuss your situation. You will be asked about the reasons for giving up the dog, the dog's habits, likes/dislikes, etc. Please be up front about any problems (health, behavioral, etc) your dog has, so that we can do our best to find a good match for your dog.

5. You will also be asked to complete and sign a Previous Owner's Consent and Release Agreement, which will contain a summary of the dog's history and a waiver of liability.
