Are you right for Whisper?

Whisper is an affectionate and adorable 8-month-old Collie pup who is looking for a patient and understanding family. Whisper can find new people, busy environments, and loud noises a little overwhelming, so she will thrive with adopters who are committed to training who can provide a calm and predictable home environment. For this reason, she would be best suited to an adult only home or one with sensible older children of secondary school age. Whisper is looking for a home where someone is around for much of the day as she loves having company and can become unsettled if left alone.

Is Whisper right for you?

Whisper would be happy to live with other pets, and she’d probably benefit from sharing her home with a confident dog who she can bounce off. Although Whisper is initially quite shy, she has already made wonderful progress in our care, and she is hoping to continue her training in her new home. This gorgeous girl is incredibly loving and enjoys heading out for her walks as much as she loves snuggling up for a snooze. She’s super playful and loves the water! We know that she is going to make such a rewarding dog as she continues to blossom with the right loving family. Whisper is looking for a special home willing to support her ongoing unique medical needs. She has a congenital kidney condition that is well managed with daily medication and a renal diet, allowing her to enjoy life comfortably. Her condition will require lifelong treatment and regular veterinary care. Animal Welfare licence number is AWE02, as licenced by Glasgow City Council.

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.

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 ready.

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.
