Nadia

Nadia is an approximately 3-year-old girl looking for a home that can continue building her confidence and help her learn about the world around her. She is an instantly friendly, confident and excitable dog who absolutely adores people and loves nothing more than a fuss from her favourite humans. Nadia enjoys her food, walks and exploring new places, and she would suit a home able to provide her with regular exercise and enrichment. As Nadia came into our care as a stray, we have no known history of her living in a home environment, so any leaving hours will need to be built up gradually as she cannot be left initially. A secure outdoor space would also be beneficial for her to safely enjoy time outdoors and continue her training. Sadly, Nadia has had her ears cropped. This is illegal in the UK, and we absolutely do not condone it. We hope we can find Nadia a loving home.’

Is Nadia right for you?

Nadia can be very intense and pushy around other dogs as she has been under-socialised and is still learning how to interact appropriately. Because of this, she would benefit from being the only pet in the home and cannot live with dogs, cats or small furries. Nadia could, however, enjoy having calm walking buddies to help her build positive experiences around other dogs over time. She can live with older, secondary school-aged children who are confident around lively dogs. Nadia is a very sweet girl with lots of love to give and will make a wonderful companion for someone willing to give her guidance, patience and plenty of affection.

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.
