Clever girl, Dorothy is on the search for her forever home! Her ideal home would be with a patient family who is able to understand when she would like some space and time to herself. Dorothy could have a private garden or no garden as long as she has plenty of opportunities to go out for walks and toilet breaks. She can live with older secondary children aged 16+ who can understand she can have some worries at times. She can have visitors once she has settled into her new home, but she would like her visitors to understand and respect her worries around handling and give her some space. Dorothy is looking to be the only dog in the home, but she can have walking friends when she is out on her sniffy walks. She could potentially live with other animals, if there is an option to separate when needed. As she is adjusting to her new home, she would appreciate having shorter leave hours, with the potential for 2-4 hours once she has settled. She doesn't mind settling on the sofa while you're out!

Is Dorothy right for you?

Darling Dorothy is a bundle of fun who loves her people and exploring. She enjoys her sniffy walks when she is out and about. Then coming back to lie in her cosy bed for a snooze. She loves to watch the world go by and snuggle up with her favourite people. She is a clever girl who knows how to sit and spin! She will make a lovely new addition to a loving family.

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.
