Are you right for Jazzy?
Meet Jazzy, a shy but sweet Collie who found herself in our care due to no fault of her own. Jazzy can live with primary school aged children, as long as they are mindful of her boundaries. Whilst she'd love to have doggy friends out and about, Jazzy will need to be the only dog in the home, and any other pets should be introduced prior to adoption as we have no history of her with other animals. Jazzy has been working on her basic training whilst here in the centre which will need to be continued once she is in her home, and whilst nice, a private garden is not essential. We are unsure of how long Jazzy has been left on her own in the past, so any leaving hours should not be introduced right away, and be built up very slowly. She'd be happy having regular visitors in the home as she really likes people, and will be fine living in a home that is open plan.
Is Jazzy right for you?
Jazzy is a super lovable girl who will truly make the perfect addition for the right people! As is characteristic of her breed, she loves to use her brain and will appreciate being kept busy with games and other forms of mental stimulation. Jazzy loves being around her people and does not like to be left on her own, and she can communicate this to us by being vocal. She has shown some nervousness when placed in new situations, but she soon relaxes and lets herself have a sniff around, showing a lot of curiosity in her environments. Jazzy has really enjoyed being groomed and responds well to handling generally, often leading in for fuss, although she did show some nervous behaviours when being restrained for her vet checks. She can be a little picky with her treats, but provided you have the ones she really likes, she'll take them right out of your hand! Jazzy has shown some interest in toys, but has lost interest soonafter and prefers instead to be with her people or explore her environment. She seems to cope very well being around cars and has got into the car unassisted with some encouragement, so she'll be up for joining you on any adventures!

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 you.

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.

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.
