Domino is a 6 month old handsome Dalmatian who is looking for a home where he can be given time and patience to settle, where his people are willing to continue his training to help him grow into a well-rounded, mature boy. Domino is the most lovable boy, he still has his puppy like ways and greets everyone he meets with the waggiest bum ever and lots of kisses! He is super clever and picking up so much training already, he has mastered a 'sit' and is currently working well on his 'down' and 'drop'. Domino, or Dom as his fosterers call him, has been through a lot of changes in his short life and is a little overwhelmed at the moment. Domino needs a new home that understands Dalmatians and their needs, who are willing to work on his house training, continue his crate training and work on his reactivity to dogs. Domino doesn't like being left alone either and so this needs to be slowly built up over time, as he builds his relationships with his new people and settles, feeling secure and decompressed in his new home.

Is Domino right for you?

Domino would like an active home, where his busy brain can be kept enricched both physically and mentally! He LOVES to dig in the sand and play tug of war, it is his favourite game. He also loves us humans, he thinks he is a lot smaller than he is and tries to be a lap dog, which is very cute but not super practical bless him! Domino is currently in foster with 2 large male dogs, he was unsure at first but soon came to love them, desperate to play with them and copy them. When seeing dogs out and about, Domino does react on the lead and bark at them, he needs reassurance that it is ok and gentle guidance on how to behave instead, luckily he loves food and so treats help distract, training on this will need to continue in his new home. Domino is currently learning how to settle in his foster home, he is enjoying discovering enrichment activities and long lasting chews, helping him be able to decompress and switch off in his crate as he is a stressy boy currently. He can be a little scared of sudden or loud noises but he is improving in all of these areas the more he settles and learns in foster. Domino cannot live with cats and is unsure around small dogs, he has met a few with us here but shown a lot of interesting in chasing them and is unsure how to interact with them. Bigger dogs, as long as introduced correctly, he has a great relationship with and could live with another dog in his new home pending a successful meet. Domino is going to make the absolute bestest best friend for the right home, given a little time to shine! He so deserves his happy ever after and to not be given up on, he will repay you with the best cuddles and a best friend for life.

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 contact you within seven days

We’ll be in touch by phone or email within seven days of receiving your application to have a chat about your dog search. Then we'll start looking for a great match for you.

We will make two attempts to contact you. If after the second attempt we don’t hear back from …

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match

You won't need to do anything else or apply again for three months. We’ll keep reviewing your application against all the dogs at your chosen centre. Not all available dogs are featured on our website; dogs of all shapes and sizes regularly come into our care, and your application will be considered for any dogs that match your requirements. We’ll contact you as soon as we find a good match.

If for some reason we don’t find the right dog in that time, you can reapply, and we’ll keep looking.

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.

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.
