Are you right for Ollie?

Ollie can live with small dogs and children of primary school age. He has had seizures in the past and is currently on medication that he will need for life, and this seems to have everything under control. Ollie is house trained but used to having someone around most of the day to let him out, and he prefers to toilet on his walks rather than in the garden.

Is Ollie right for you?

Little Ollie came into our care after his owner fell ill but luckily we managed to get this senior boy into one of our wonderful foster home. He's a super little chap who is always excited to go on walks but hopes not to bump into any cows as he's terrified of them! He doesn't mind other dogs though, but he doesn't go out of his way to introduce himself to any he passes. Ollie can be a fussy eater and we suspect he has been rather spoiled in the culinary department as he was rather portly on arrival! He is great with people although a little reserved at first, he likes to take his time to suss someone out. He has a really playful side that often results in him bouncing about and getting a little silly and mouthy, but it's all in good humour.

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.
2
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 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.

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...

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. With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care Card and...
