Dogs Trust > Rehoming >
We believe no healthy dog should ever be destroyed and that every dog should have a chance to lead a happy and healthy life in a loving home.
There are lots of ways to find a suitable dog - we think rehoming is the best one. Dogs Trust works with you to match your needs to the needs of dogs. We know that choosing the dog that’s right for you leads to happy people and happy dogs.![]()
At any one time Dogs Trust looks after more than 1400 dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and temperaments. Here you can meet some of the dogs that are now looking for a new home.
There are currently 328 dogs looking for new homes. Click here to see them.

Some dogs in our care have particular problems. They need new homes with adopters who have the time and patience to cope with them and to continue their training.

Thousands of dogs are handed to us every year - from cute puppies to characterful older citizens.
Rehoming is about giving them a new start, with a new family who can offer them the love and attention they deserve.

We pride ourselves on our non—destruction policy and to this end we have put several innovative schemes in place to make sure our dogs get the best care and attentions they need.
We run Seventeen rehoming centres all around the UK.
