Are you right for Poppy?
Poppy is a sweet girl who is on the search for a new home. She is great when meeting people here and likes a bit of fuss. Due to a history of guarding stolen items Poppy needs an adult-only home or sensitble older teenagers (16+), to help with management of this - she has been taught different techniques while in centre and is now ready to tranfer these into a new home. Poppy has a condition that does require her to be on a special diet to manage and this will be discussed with any potential adopters.
Is Poppy right for you?
Poppy is an 8yr old Beagle who originally came into our care due to a change in working hours that meant she was being faced with the prospect of being left for long hours. This isn’t something she enjoys so she’d love her new family to be around all the time, at least to begin with. Time left alone can then be gradually introduced so she can see it as a more positive thing in future. Fortunately she’s got a really good history of car travel so can join her family out and about instead. Poppy keeps her kennel clean here and was housetrained in the previous home. With a quick refresher and access to her own garden she should pick it up again no problems! Poppy is a super sweet girl, shes driven by her amazing nose and will easily sniff out any hidden treats, she loves nothing more than to snuggle up with her favourite people, play with her toys and go out for a nice walk through the woods/or long grass so she can have a good old sniff about. Poppy is now ready to relax in a new home. If you are looking for a walking buddy, an expert treat inspector and a Sunday snoozing partner then Poppy might just be the one for you!

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 you.

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 ready.

Show detailsIf 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.
