There are many reasons why dogs, including our beloved ETTs, need to be re-homed and commonly, it is through no fault of the dog(s) or the owner(s). We understand that life can throw curve balls and circumstances mean that keeping a dog is no longer in the best interests of the dog, the owner, or both. We can help you if you are:
- An ETT owner who needs to re-home a dog
- Concerned about neglect or abuse of an ETT owned by someone else
- A third-party Rescue with an ETT in your care
- Interested in adopting an English Toy Terrier
The ongoing good health and welfare of English Toy Terriers is a key area of focus for the work of the Club. More info:

3. If you are a third-party Rescue with an ETT in your care

4. Interested in adopting an English Toy Terrier?
Thankfully, the number of English Toy Terriers that are re-homed through rescue is small, in part because the breed is a vulnerable breed and there are relatively few ETTs in the UK. However, from time to time, we do need to find homes for ETTs.
If you would like us to contact you if an English Toy Terrier needs a new, permanent home, please fill in our form to Register Your Interest in Adopting an English Toy Terrier.
