Are you a fan of life in the slow lane, cosy sofas, and gentle adventures? Then Billy might just be your perfect match! He’s looking for a calm, loving home where he can potter along at his own pace and soak up plenty of attention. Billy is a true people dog and loves having his humans nearby, so he’d be happiest in a home where someone is around most of the time—he’s not a big fan of being left on his own. He has a lovely history around very young children and would fit beautifully into a family home where there’s love (and maybe snacks) to go around. He’d also be a brilliant choice for first-time dog owners thanks to his easy-going, laid-back personality. If you’re someone who appreciates cuddles, quiet walks, and a bit of adorable goofiness (plus the occasional gentle snore!), then Billy is ready to steal your heart.

Is Billy right for you?

Billy is an absolute sweetheart with a big, lovable personality. He’s all about the simple joys in life—a gentle wander to take in the scenery, a comfy spot for a nap, and, most importantly, being close to his favourite people. Out and about, Billy walks nicely and is happy to share his space with calm, polite dogs—but he’s not so keen on anyone getting too up close and personal. He prefers his friendships to be respectful and low-key, just like him. At home, Billy is a champion cuddler with a wonderfully goofy streak. He absolutely lives for a good bum scratch—so much so that he’ll cheekily back himself right up to you to make sure you get the hint! If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will fill your home with warmth, charm, and a touch of silliness, Billy could be your perfect little soulmate 💛

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 …

Apply Now

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 …

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.

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.
