🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Tips for Adopting a Pet 

If you are considering adopting from Millbrook or another centre in the Chobham area, keep these essential tips in mind:

1. Appointment-Based Visiting: Like many RSPCA centres, Millbrook operates primarily by appointment. You should browse available animals on the main RSPCA "Find a Pet" website and submit an application for a specific animal before visiting. 💻
2. Check the Opening Times: The centre is typically open to the public from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm every day except Wednesday, when it is closed. It is always a good idea to call ahead (+44 300 123 0740) to confirm their current visitor policy. 🕒
3. The "Perfect Match" Assessment: The RSPCA uses a detailed matching system. Be prepared to provide information about your home, garden security, and daily routine to ensure the pet you choose is a good fit for your life. 🐕‍🦺
4. Home and Garden Checks: For dog adoptions, a secure, private garden is a standard requirement. The centre may conduct a home check (either in-person or virtually) to verify that your boundaries are safe for a rescue dog. 🏡
5. Landlord Consent: If you live in rented accommodation in Surrey or the surrounding areas, ensure you have written permission from your landlord ready to show the rehoming team. 📝
