Are you right for Boots?

Meet Boots, the beautiful 12-year old Collie looking for her forever home! Boots is a sweet girl, who could live with another dog in the home pending a successful meet here in the centre. Boots is also looking for any children in the home to be sensible, older primary school aged. Boots can be worried by new people and handling initially but is getting so much braver everyday! She likes to meet people and will be friendly, but much prefers playing with her friends over getting fuss. She is a big toy lover, and will bring her toys to you to throw! Boots will happily settle down and relax after a bit of playtime, but will also be up for going out on fun, sniffy walks. She has had a sheltered life so far, but is brave despite this. She is happier in a quieter environment, so would love to live in a calm home where she can spend some time on her own if she fancies it. Boots is a lovely girl, and will make a great companion!

Is Boots right for you?

Boots is a sweet girl, who does not act her age! She is young at heart, and loves to have a fun playtime with her people. She would like a quieter home, and would particularly enjoy spending time in her own private garden to fetch her toys. Boots may need a bit of reminding with her house-training, and will prefer for her people to be around for most of the time while she settles in. She can then have any leaving hours built up slowly. Boots walks well on the lead, and will be a great pal to have in the home. She cannot wait to chill out on the sofa to live out her golden years!

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...

3
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.
