Helping dogs find safe, responsible new homes
HomeWagger CIC exists to make dog rehoming calmer, safer, and more responsible across the UK.
Built in partnership with HomeWagger Tech Ltd, HomeWagger combines purpose with practical software — supporting adopters, rehomers, and shelters through clearer steps and welfare-first safeguards.
HomeWagger replaces scattered enquiries with structured Expressions of Interest (EOIs), helping rehomers and shelters review suitability before conversations begin.
No selling. No pressure. Just safer matches and clearer next steps.

The problem we’re trying to solve
Many dogs in the UK are rehomed through informal online spaces where conversations can be rushed, scattered across platforms, or difficult for shelters and rehomers to manage.
At the same time, rescue organisations are under increasing pressure, often receiving large volumes of enquiries while trying to make careful, welfare-led decisions for every dog.
HomeWagger was created to offer a safer alternative. By introducing structured interest, identity verification, and organised conversations, the platform helps bring clarity and accountability to the rehoming process.
What makes HomeWagger different
HomeWagger isn’t designed as a marketplace. It’s designed as welfare-first rehoming infrastructure — helping people make calmer, safer decisions.
📩 Expressions of Interest first
Adopters submit an Expression of Interest so rehomers and shelters can review suitability before messaging begins.
🔐 Identity verification
Adopters verify their identity before messaging opens, creating safer and more accountable conversations.
📋 Organised enquiries
EOIs keep enquiries organised in one place, helping reduce inbox overwhelm.
🤝 Humans stay in control
Shelters and rehomers remain fully responsible for vetting and adoption decisions.
Our mission: calmer decisions, safer outcomes
HomeWagger CIC is a UK-based Community Interest Company working to support more responsible dog rehoming.
We believe welfare improves when people have clearer information, calmer steps, and better boundaries.
HomeWagger is designed around structured interest, earlier screening, and communication that opens only when it should.
