Are you right for Missus?

Meet Missus, our super sweet 10 year old Boxer. Don't let her age fool you though, Missus is a young girl at heart! This lovely Boxer is bursting with personality and has a tail that never seems to stop wagging. Friendly, sweet, and always ready for fuss and attention, Missus has a way of making everyone she meets smile. In fact, she's so cheerful that she even greets the vet with a waggy tail! Missus loves spending time with her people and thrives on companionship. Whether she's playing, enjoying some attention, or simply relaxing beside her foster carers, she's happiest when she's part of the action. When it's time to settle down, you'll usually find her curled up on the sofa in her favourite spot which she has proudly claimed as her own! She's also a fantastic traveler and is more than happy to hop into the car for adventures, days out, or visits with family and friends. Missus can find other dogs a little overwhelming and would be happiest as the only pet in the household with access to quieter walking areas. As Missus loves being around her people, any time spent home alone will need to be built up gradually in her new home. Her adopters should be prepared to help her settle into a new routine at a pace she's comfortable with. Missus does have some ongoing allergies and takes medication to help keep her comfortable. The foster team will be happy to discuss her care and routine in more detail with potential adopters. If you're looking for a loving companion with a big heart, a waggy tail, and plenty of cuddles to give, please fill out an application below for Missus and don't forget to "favourite" her"!

Is Missus right for you?

Missus is looking for a home where she can enjoy plenty of company, affection, and a comfortable spot on the sofa! Despite being 10 years old, she's still full of life and loves being involved in whatever her people are doing. Her ideal adopters will enjoy having a dog who loves attention and companionship. Missus thrives when she's around her family, so any time spent home alone will need to be introduced gradually to help her settle into her new routine. Missus would be happiest as the only pet in the home. She can find other dogs a little overwhelming, so she'll need owners who can help manage her interactions and provide access to quieter walking areas where she can feel more relaxed. She travels well in the car, making her a great companion for days out and adventures, but she's equally content spending an evening cuddled up beside her favourite people on the sofa. Missus does have ongoing allergies which are managed with medication, and her foster team will be happy to discuss her care requirements with potential adopters.

How our rehoming process works

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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...

  3. 3

    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. 

  4. 4

    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 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 calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

    When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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 Card and...
