Are you right for Otis?

Meet the sweet older gentleman, Otis, a 13-year-old boy looking for a home to spend his golden years in with a loving family. Otis dreams of a home that has plenty of cosy spots for him to cuddle up on and have a snooze after an outing. Even though he's an older boy, he would still like to go for regular walks and visit new places to tick things off on his bucket list. Otis would also like to stay social with other doggies by going on walks with his pals and could live with another calm dog, pending dog meets at the centre. He could live with older primary-aged children. As he is an older boy, it would be very beneficial for Otis to have ground access to the garden to prevent him from having to regularly trek up and down lots of stairs. Otis would like his adopters to be around for most of the time whilst he settles into his new home. Otis would love a peaceful, cosy, loving forever home! He does have ongoing medical conditions that will be discussed with our team upon booking.

Is Otis right for you?

Otis does not let his age stop him! He loves to frolic in the long grass and explore new places. Otis also loves snacks and will never say no to a schmacko! He will curl up on his bed and have a well-deserved snooze after his activities. He will make a lovely new addition to his forever home. If you could offer this gentle older boy his forever home, apply to adopt today!

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...
