Are you right for Toast?

Meet gorgeous boy, Toast! Toast is a 6-year old Smooth Collie looking for his forever home. Toast can get overexcited seeing dogs, and may need a little work on his social skills, so he would prefer to be the only dog in the home at first. Toast is a very playful, energetic boy who loves a good run around. His favourite activities are playing fetch, and playing with his soft toys. Due to his bouncy nature, we think he'd suit a home where all children are 11yrs+. Toast is a bit under-socialised, so can be a bit vocal when seeing new dogs and people, but he warms up very quickly and loves a fuss. Toast loves to explore new places and get his sniffs in, although some louder environments can be a bit spooky for him. He would love a kind, gentle family that are willing to help him build his confidence in some areas. Toast would be one for the Collie lovers, as he is very typical of his breed! He loves to play, to chase and to have off-lead time where he can burn off all his energy. He is a high energy breed, so would love some breed specific outlets whereby he can be sufficiently mentally and physically enriched in his new home. We can't wait to see gorgeous boy Toast in his forever home!

Is Toast right for you?

Toast is a beautiful boy with bags of potential. He is very foodie, so this will help with any type of training that may be needed in the home. He may need a little work on his toilet training in the home, but he does try his absolute hardest! He can be a bit worried in the car, but this will take some time and positive associations. Toast walks well on lead but he can pull a little bit when excited! Toast will love an understanding home that are able to help him in some confidence building, and let him settle at his own pace. He really is a sweet lad, and would love a sofa to curl up on after his fun day of activities!

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.

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.
