Question 1

Who are Broken Halo Rescue

Accepted Answer

Broken halo is my [Kristy Williamson] baby and started in November 2015.

My love for dogs has always been the main focus of my life since I was 12 years old and went on an outing to a rescue in south Africa, where I grew up.  From then on I've always wanted to work with animals and that has always come naturally to me.

Question 2

Is Broken Halo Rescue for dogs only?

Accepted Answer

No, we also help, rescue and arrange fostering and adoption for Cats. Cats seeking new homes and help can be found here,(https://www.brokenhalorescue.co.uk/cats) and the dogs needing your help can be seen here.(https://www.brokenhalorescue.co.uk/dogs)

Question 3

Is there a minimum age to apply?

Accepted Answer

We have a minimum age requirement of 21 for both foster and adoption applications.

Question 4

How much is the adoption fee?

Accepted Answer

The adoption fee for dogs based in the UK is £360 and dogs who are  abroad or originate from abroad is £550 - we do not offer payment plans so all adoption fees must be paid in full before the adoption process is complete.

All of our animals are flea, wormed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered (unless on a neuter contract due to age), therefore the adoption fee helps to cover this and also goes towards helping the next abandoned or abused animal to safety and find their forever home.

Question 5

Do you rehome to families with young children or applicants living in a flat or without a garden etc?

Accepted Answer

Yes, We rehome to all kinds of people and families living in different types of home so it just depends on the needs of the animal - we assess each application individually and will decide if you’ll be able to meet the animals needs such as diet, exercise, home setup training and if now is the right time for you to foster or adopt and go from there.

Question 6

What is the aim of Broken Halo Rescue?

The main aim of Broken Halo Rescue is to find foster and forever homes for our dogs. Broken Halo Rescue dogs are placed in foster homes and emergency boarding. The dogs are thoroughly assessed before being placed in homes.

Question 14

What is Broken Halo Rescue?

Accepted Answer

• We are a very tiny not-for-profit organisation. 
 • We work day in and out to help dogs and cats.  
 • We do our best to rehab dogs and find suitable homes for them.  
 • We offer rescue back up for life and we always keep in touch and offer support where needed to adopters, fosterers and even the general public.
 • We are foster based [by this we mean that unlike most other animal rescues we do not have an actual physical central point/animal rescue centre where are our animals are kept while awaiting adoption. 
 • We operate in a decentralised way, all our animals awaiting adoptions are held with volunteer foster families and individual fosterers at various points across the whole of the UK.

In some circumstances, despite it not being ideal either for us as an organisation or from the animals perspective, when there are no volunteers or fosters available we are forced to temporarily house our animals in trusted kennels - we only do this in absolute emergencies (It is a costly process and Broken Halo Rescue picks up the bill as part of its rescue mission). 
Obviously it can cause them even more stress and anxiety, as well heightening the possibility of causing social, socialisation and issues related to behavioural problems. 
After what these poor animals have already been through more insecurity and stress is the last thing they need  so as we have said above using kennels is our last option and only used  in an emergency, and for the least length of time possible
