Are you right for Keisha?

Keisha can live with high school aged children and another calm dog if well matched. She is house trained and good when left by herself for a few hours. Keisha is currently on pain relief for a sore hip and, given her age, may need this for the rest of her life. She's also a little hard of hearing.

Is Keisha right for you?

We know nothing of 12-year-old Keisha's background as she arrived in our care as a former stray, but she's a very gentle and easy going older girl. She has tucked her paws well and truly under the table of a a foster home and is definitely looking for an easy, comfortable retirement. Keisha walks nicely on her lead, she's not a fan of the harness, and likes to stop and stare up people's driveways when she's out walking- maybe she was neighbourhood watch in her previous home! She happily says hello to other dogs and will walk nicely with them, even being fairly tolerant of boisterous dogs. She would be happy enough as the only pet at home, but may live with another gentle oldie. Keisha isn't an overly affectionate girl - she will happily greet her foster carer upon return and will let people give her a gentle fuss, but she's independent enough to take herself off when she's satisfied. Keisha has a cheeky side - she once took herself out of the front door and was absolutely thrilled with the zoomies that followed and especially the chickeny bribe that enabled her capture! She is wonderful company and would be perfect for someone who is looking to have a best friend again, perhaps to enjoy retirement together.

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...

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...

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.
