Are you right for Brodie?

Meet Brodie, a bright and bouncy one-year-old Collie Retriever cross who is full of life, love and enthusiasm for everything he does. This cheerful chap is always ready for an adventure and is looking for an active home that can keep up with his playful spirit. Brodie will thrive with owners who can give him plenty of both physical and mental stimulation — at least one to two hours each day — to satisfy his clever mind and energetic nature. He already knows a few basics like sit and down and with his love of treats and quick brain, he is great fun to train. He can get a bit overexcited at times, sometimes jumping up at head height when things get too exciting so he will need adopters who can help him learn calm manners using positive, reward-based training. Brodie finds being left alone tricky so he will need patient owners who can start with minimal leaving hours and gradually build these up once he feels settled and secure. Children in the home should be aged 10 or older, and Brodie will need a home without cats or small furries.

Is Brodie right for you?

Affectionate, clever and endlessly loving, Brodie is a real joy to be around. He adores other dogs and would happily share his home with a canine companion who enjoys playtime as much as he does, though this is not essential if his humans can provide enough company and enrichment. Brodie loves toys and is more than happy to share them, whether it is a tug with a doggy friend or a game with his handlers. He is housetrained, food-motivated and always eager to please, making him a lovely mix of fun and affection. A private garden would be a bonus for this lively lad, but it is not essential for the right home. What matters most is finding a family who can offer him the time, companionship and activity he needs to thrive. If you are ready for a fun-loving, clever companion who will fill your days with laughter, loyalty and love, Brodie is waiting to meet you.

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 …

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.

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.

With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care …
