Are you right for Bridget?

Bridget needs a home where she can be the only pet whilst she focuses on her training, and any children are teenagers. Her family will need to be committed to putting in some work with her and full support will be given from the team at the centre, and we would advise researching the Catahoula Leopard Dog before applying to adopt. Three of Bridget's litter mates have heart issues but she does not, but she may need monitoring in the future.

Is Bridget right for you?

Little Bridget is something of a wild child! Still a pup, she's looking for a family that ideally have an interest in dog training, as she's a cross Catahoula Leopard Dog, a very smart and switched on breed with a strong drive to work. She has recently been returned to our care and is a little unsure about her current circumstances. At times Bridget is very confident and at others very hesitant and wary. She's an affectionate dog who enjoys contact but is easily excited and often resorts to grabbing clothing and hands. Her new family will need to guide her away from these types of behaviours rather than punish her. Bridget loves to play and there are certain games that would be great outlet for her puppy drives and help her control her impulses. She lacks a lot of confidence around other dogs although she tries to play with some, she runs away when they reciprocate. We have no doubts that Bridget will be a wonderful dog at the heart of the right family and our training team are happy to discuss any of her needs with potential adopters.

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 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.

With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care …
