The Kennels are open by appointment only

The BARK kennels are now cautiously reopening but are operating an appointment only system and inviting potential owners to the kennels to view specific animals. We will continue to follow Government guidelines to keep our animals you and and our staff safe.

Initially:

All potential owners will need to complete an application form from our website. These can be currently be found on the individual animal pages. If the animal is not listed then it is not currently looking for a new home.

We would ask that if you have any signs or symptoms of covid you postpone your visit.  Staffing at the kennels is limited and it is difficult having staff off on holiday and sick.  Thank you for your understanding.

We will offer a strict appointment basis.

We will have hand cleanser for you to use on arrival and departure from the kennels.
