Polo is on the search for a loving family who can help him settle into home life. He would like a family who are actively involved in training to keep his brain stimulated. Polo has shown humping behaviours, mainly towards women, so his family will need to be comfortable continuing working on this in his forever home. He can live with older teenagers who are comfortable around boisterous dogs. Polo could live with a dog who can tolerate his intense playstyle. It is not essential for him to go to a home with a garden pending that he gets enough mental and physical exercise. Polo is suspected to partially deaf but has shown some response to high pitch sounds- this may progress in the future. Adopters must be equipped to life with a deaf dog and work on hand signal training and only let him off lead in enclosed areas/on a long line. All medical details will be discussed with our vet team upon a booking.

Is Polo right for you?

Playful Polo is a lovely boy who enjoys spending lots of quality time with his favourite people. He loves running around, getting his nose to the ground and meeting doggy friends on the way. He hasn’t shown much interest in toys as he much prefers the company of his favourite people. After a long day exploring, Polo can often be found curled up on a cosy bed watching the World go by. He is a clever boy who knows his name, sit and paw and loves to learn new things. He will make a great addition to his forever home.

How our rehoming process works

Create an account and fill out our application form

In our form you can tell us all about your home, your lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can add favourites to give us an idea of the dogs you like. We’ll use this information to find a great match for …

Choose a rehoming centre

We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found …

We’ll review your application

We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re …

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match

If we don’t have a dog for you right now, we’ll keep your application open for three months and keep you in mind for any new dogs that arrive. If within this time you see another dog you are interested in, you won't need to apply again but you can amend your application by …

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.

We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together

If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.

We’ll support you to embark on a new life with your dog

When we’ve matched you with a dog, we’ll help you welcome them to your home. After adoption we’ll keep in touch to see how you and the dog are doing. If you need any advice or support, we’re just a phone call away.
