Rehome With Reason

Rehoming a dog should never be blocked by blanket rules or box-ticking. HomeWagger CIC is the UK’s first ethical dog rehoming platform that connects shelters, individual rehomers, and adopters in one trusted space.

Our Rehome With Reason campaign works with rescues and the public to replace “no garden = no dog” style policies with flexible, safety-first adoption practices.

🏥 For Shelters

Practical guides, safety checklists, and a campaign badge to show adopters you rehome with compassion and common sense — not rigid rules.

🐾 For Adopters

Create a profile, share your lifestyle, and be matched on wellbeing and compatibility rather than property type or postcode.

🏠 For Rehomers

Honest, story-led listings that centre each dog’s needs and help you find adopters who truly fit.

Are You a Shelter or Rescue Organisation?

Join our campaign and access free tools, safety checklists, and an ethical pledge badge for your public shelter profile on HomeWagger.

We’ll never ask you to lower your standards — just to base decisions on risk, welfare, and real context, not one-size-fits-all rules.

Have You Been Turned Away From Adopting a Dog?

Maybe you don’t have a garden, work shifts, or live in rented housing — and were told you’re “not suitable” without anyone looking at your real circumstances.

Your experience can help change outdated adoption rules. Share your story so we can highlight patterns, support rescues to rethink policies, and build a kinder, fairer system.

This isn’t just a feature — it’s a movement.

Every pledge, every story, and every thoughtful match brings us closer to a more compassionate rehoming future.
