Reggie & Bella are a looking for a home together, they are looking for a calm and relaxed home with adopters who will take them on sniffy adventures, will play games with them and cuddle up for quiet snoozes on the sofa. They can live with secondary school aged children who will play with them nicely and will understand when they need a break and give them space to relax and rest when needed. Reggie & Bella will be going home together and would like to be the only pets in the home, they could however have polite and friendly walking buddies. They have some training under their belts, they know their names and do a lovely “sit”, “down” and “paw”, they are eager to engage in training especially if a tasty treat is on offer. They like to potter and explore at their leisure so access to a private, secure garden is needed. Reggie & Bella can settle nicely in the home as long as they have each other for company, they could be left for up to 2-4 hours but this would need to be built up gradually after they have had time to settle into their new home. Reggie & Bella will need to meet their adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet them within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

Is Bella right for you?

Sweet and playful Bella is a 5 and a half year old Bulldog Cross and goofy Reggie is a 6 year old Labrador cross, and these guys are the best of friends. This pair are super fun and like to have a game of chase, bouncing and bounding around with each other just like puppies. Reggie is an affectionate boy and loves fusses, especially a good bum scratch. Bella on the other hand is a little more independent, she likes to be busy, exploring her surroundings and then will come over for a quick head scratch before heading back off on her important business. This wonderful pair are ready to find their new home.

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 …

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.
