Are you right for Cariad?
Cariad is a beautiful, loving Dalmatian who is looking for a new home to call her own. Cariad, which is welsh for love, has come to us through no fault of her own and is currently in one of our lovely foster homes where she is doing great. Cariad is looking for a new home where she can be the only dog in the home, she can have friends out and about but can be dog selective, however, she isn't reactive and is more human focused. Cariad has been around lots of children in her previous home but we are now looking for any children in her new home to be older secondary aged as she can be worried occasionally but also wants to sit on you too so can be too much for youngsters!
Is Cariad right for you?
Cariad is completely house trained, sleeps lovely through the night on the sofa and loves to play by herself with her toys and her chews and then loves a cuddle on the sofa with her fosterers. She travels lovely in the car and loves going out for walks and having the zoomies. Cariad is strong on the lead and this will need continued work. When she dogs out and about she minds her own business and will occasionally want to say hello but generally Cariad prefers just hanging out with us humans and having all of the attention to herself. Cariad is a very loving girl, she can be left home alone for a couple of hours in the living room with some music on with no issues, adores food (she actually needs to loose a couple of kg currently!) and can be a little worried by strangers or the vets approaching her head on over her head before she has made herself aquatinted, so although she presents as a very confident girl, she does have some insecurities that need some reassurance. Cariad really is a special girl and is going to make some lucky family super happy!

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.

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.

Show detailsIf 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.
