Are you right for Pearl?

Pearl is a lively, fun loving 7 month old Bichon Frise who is looking for a patient new home to call her own. Pearl is looking for a quieter home, where she can adjust at her own pace, she could potentially live with another dog but does get a little bit overwhelmed so ideally, being the only dog in the home with appropriate socialisation out and about would suit her best. Pearl has never been around children and may initially find them a little worrying so we are looking for a home where any children are 11+ and sensible enough around dogs to give her space. Pearl's new humans need to be super patient to help her master house training and discovering new things out on walks, and in return will receive all of the love and play time Pearl can offer in return!

Is Pearl right for you?

Pearl has lived a sheltered life and not seen much of the big wide world outside of her previous home, she is doing absolutely fantastic but is understandably a little bit overwhelmed by all the new people, dogs and experiences! So Pearl will need a new home who understands this and will give her all of the time, space and gentle encouragement to learn about every day things and work on things like her house training and getting out and about in public on walks. Pearly doesn't take long to warm up to new people and when she does, she is a barrel of fun and love! With a little TLC and time, Pearl has so much potential to grow into a well rounded, wonderful young adult if in the right family to support her to get her there!

How our rehoming process works

1
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.

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 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.

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...

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.
