Are you right for Roman?

Meet Roman, our gorgeous 8-month old Collie x Shepherd who is looking for his forever home! Roman is looking for a home with another dog, who is able to tolerate his boisterous playstyle and show him the way of the world. Any children in the home would need to be 11yrs+ due to his excitable, bouncy nature and his typical puppy mouthing. Roman is a lovely, funny boy who loves to meet new people and dogs alike! Roman is very Collie-esque in his mannerisms, so would suit a family that have owned the breed before and are aware of the typical traits. Roman will (try) to approach everyone he can to say hello and receive fusses, but needs to learn to be a bit more polite! He's still a baby and incredibly receptive to training (as long as there is a sausage on offer), so we are confident he will pick up new skills very quickly. Roman is a very high energy dog, and would love an active family that are able to offer him the physical and mental stimulation he needs for his breeds. He loves to get out and explore new places, but ideally somewhere a bit quieter as he can find loud traffic a bit worrying.

Is Roman right for you?

Roman would really benefit from an understanding, gentle, kind family that are able to support him through overarousal and give him breed specific outlets to be able to be his best self. He would love a quieter, calm home where he can learn that it's okay to be chilled sometimes! He loves a cwtch on the sofa with his people, and is the most loving angel boy. He shows lots of puppy behaviour, but being a bigger boy, he would love guidance with his manners from kind owners through positive association. He will be such a fun addition to the home! Roman is an angel, who has been left for 1-4 hours in the home previously, but this may need building up in his new environment. He is house-trained, but may need some reminding in a new place! He travels well in the car, so would make a fantastic adventure buddy, although, he can pull a bit on the lead which is a work in progress. Roman is a sweet angel, with bags of energy and love to give his new family. We can't wait for him to find his forever home.

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 …

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.
