Are you right for Jet?
Playful boy Jet is a 2 and a half year old Collie/Labrador cross who loves his toys. He will chase and bound around after toys that are thrown for him and will bring them back to be thrown again, he likes to carry a toy around with him for comfort. When he is settled and has built a bond with you he likes a fuss, bum scratches are his favourite and he does a little wiggle if you get the right spot. He enjoys a good outdoor adventure, especially in the woods where it is quieter and he can sniff and explore at his leisure. This beautiful boy is ready to find his new home.
Is Jet right for you?
Jet is looking for a home with active adopters who can take him for sniffy adventures in quiet walking areas, or for a run around in a private field, a family to keep up his training. He would like a calm and predictable home with only adults who will play with him nicely and will give him space to rest when he needs. Jet finds being in close proximity to dogs worrying, so would like to be the only pet in the home so he can have all of the attention to himself and no neighbouring dogs, he would prefer walks in quieter areas so he can explore at his leisure. Jet has some training under his belt, he knows his name and does a lovely “sit”, he is currently working on his muzzle training as he will be going home on a lead and muzzle disclaimer. He is a clever boy, but gets distracted easily so could engage in training in short, sweet sessions with the help of a tasty treat and lots of praise for encouragement. He is looking for a home with a private, secure garden with 6ft fencing for him to potter about and have off lead time in. Jet can settle nicely in the home so could be left for up to 4 hours, this would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle in. Jet will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home with the potential for home visits with our behaviour team to make sure he is settling in well, so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

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.
