Ethical dog rehoming in the UK — built with care.
What HomeWagger is building
HomeWagger is a welfare-first platform for ethical dog rehoming in the UK. Crucially, it supports adopters, rehomers, and the shelters and professionals around them.
In other words, we are building a safer and more transparent way to navigate dog adoption and rehoming in the UK. As a result, people can slow down and make better decisions for dogs.
No selling. No pressure. No judgement.
Finally, this is being updated for 2026 — because building carefully matters.
Why ethical dog rehoming in the UK needs a better system
If you have ever felt judged, rejected, or overwhelmed while trying to adopt or rehome a dog, this space was made for you.
Across the UK, many people want to do the right thing. However, the process can still feel confusing or impossible.
For example, some people struggle to adopt a dog in the UK because criteria feel rigid or unclear. Meanwhile, others need to rehome responsibly but fear unsafe routes or public judgement.
At the same time, shelters, rescues, vets, trainers, and behaviourists are stretched beyond capacity. Therefore, calmer systems and clearer safeguards matter more than ever.
Because of this, HomeWagger bridges the gaps with a welfare-first approach. Most importantly, dog welfare stays at the centre of every step.
This is not a marketplace. Instead, it is a better system for UK dog rehoming.
Who the waitlist is for
- People trying to adopt a dog in the UK and unsure where to turn
- Those considering rehoming a dog responsibly due to changing circumstances
- Shelters, rescues, and foster networks
- Vets, trainers, and behaviourists concerned about outcomes
- Anyone who supports ethical, welfare-led dog rehoming
Importantly, joining the waitlist does not commit you to anything. Instead, it helps us build with the people it is meant to serve.

These FAQs explain how HomeWagger supports ethical dog rehoming in the UK, how we differ from marketplace-style sites, and what to expect from the 2026 launch.
HomeWagger is a welfare-first platform being built to support ethical dog rehoming in the UK.
It’s designed to help adopters, rehomers, shelters, and professionals navigate rehoming safely, transparently, and without pressure.
This isn’t a marketplace — it’s a system built around dog welfare and responsible decision-making.
No. HomeWagger is not a rescue or shelter.
We aim to complement existing shelters and rescues, not replace them — particularly by supporting safer outcomes when dogs are rehomed privately or when rescues are at capacity.
No.
HomeWagger does not encourage rehoming.
We exist to support safe, responsible decisions when rehoming becomes necessary due to changing life circumstances — and to reduce harm caused by rushed, hidden, or unsafe rehoming.
No. Never.
Dogs will never be sold through HomeWagger.
Any future platform features will be built around welfare, suitability, and transparency — not transactions.
The HomeWagger waitlist is for:
People trying to adopt a dog in the UK
People considering rehoming a dog responsibly
Shelters, rescues, and foster networks
Vets, trainers, and behaviourists
Anyone who supports ethical, welfare-led dog rehoming
Joining the waitlist doesn’t commit you to anything.
We’re planning to launch in 2026, starting with the web platform and expanding to iOS and Android shortly after.
We’re building carefully — because dog welfare deserves time and thought.

Joining the waitlist doesn’t mean you need to take action now.
Many Facebook rehoming groups are well-intentioned but lack consistent safeguards.

Welfare-first principles
Transparency about needs and expectations
Safer matching and oversight
Protection for both dogs and people
No.
HomeWagger supports appropriate, proportionate safeguards based on the individual dog — not one-size-fits-all rules.
Good matches protect dogs better than rigid criteria.
No.
