Are you right for King?

King is on the search for his forever home with a family who can dedicate the time to getting to know him and settle him into his new home environment. He would love to go on lots of adventures, spend his day playing and showing off his amazing training. He will need a family who are comfortable handling a dog who can be strong on lead and has shown some reactivity to other dogs on walks. King has come on leaps and bounds with his dog reactivity and can have walking friends if introduced appropriately. He has been positively muzzle trained and wears this comfortably out on his walks and at the vets. King will need to be the only pet in the home. King has spent a lot of his life in kennels so it may take him some time to settle into home life and learn a new routine. Adopters should be around for most of the time to begin with and will need to increase his leaving hours slowly. He would like a private and secure garden to enjoy with his family. King can live with teenagers who are comfortable around bouncy large dogs. King does have some medical considerations that will be discussed with our vet team upon a booking.

Is King right for you?

King is a super loveable boy who definitely holds the crown for being a firm favourite with his handlers here at the centre. He is a big goofball who still thinks he is a puppy at times. King is playful boy who loves interactive games as well as playing independently. He likes balls, soft toys, ropes and tuggy toys. At times he can get overexcited and can jump up but he has been working on his impulse control, showing off his ‘waits’ and as a result this has massively improved. King might just be the cleverest dog in our centre, he loves showing off his tricks in a very over-exaggerated and enthusiastic manner. He currently knows his name, sit, down, paw, touch, bed, wait, walks loosely on lead and has been positively muzzle trained. Not only that, but King has also come on leaps and bounds with his dog socialisation and is now happy to have walking friends. He is a great boy who loves lots of fuss and attention from his favourite people- he is sure to make a wonderful addition to a family who can give him the time he needs to settle into home life.

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 …

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.
