Are you right for Odin?
Lovely Odin is a 4-year-old Bulldog searching for his forever home. This handsome boy could live with teenagers aged 16 and over and is looking for a quieter home environment where he can truly relax and thrive. Odin would like to be the only dog in the home, where he can enjoy all the love and attention to himself. However, he would enjoy having some calm, well-mannered doggy friends to go on walks with. He is unable to live with small furries, and we have no history of him living around livestock.
When meeting new people, Odin can be a little shy and sensitive at first, but it doesn't take long for his playful personality to shine through, especially if there are toys involved! Once he's made a friend, he's incredibly affectionate and loves spending time with his favourite people. Odin enjoys exploring the world around him and can sometimes be strong on the lead when he's excited or somewhere new. In his foster home, he has been comfortable being left for up to four hours. He is housetrained and will let you know when he needs to go outside. Travelling can make Odin a little nervous, so he currently travels in a covered crate in the car. Ideally, he'd love a home with walks right on the doorstep, away from busy roads and heavy traffic, as loud vehicles can be unsettling for him.
Is Odin right for you?
Although a little reserved at first, Odin is a big-hearted goofball once he feels comfortable. He loves affection, enjoys a game of fetch, and has a particular soft spot for squeaky balls. Food is another one of his favourite things, especially if cheese or peanut butter is on offer! Odin loves getting out for his walks and is happiest when he can splash and wade in water. At home, he loves a nap and can often be found snoozing on the sofa or curled up in a cosy bed, especially if there's a sunny spot to enjoy.
This clever boy already knows several cues, including "sit", "down", "paw", and "wait". With positive reward-based training, he'd love to continue learning new skills and building his confidence. Odin is a lovely boy who just needs a little time and understanding to settle into his new home. Once he does, you'll discover a playful, affectionate companion who will make a wonderful addition to the right family.

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.

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 a match.

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.

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.

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.
