Are you right for Pablo?

This very handsome boy is Pablo, an 8 month old Doberman. Pablo is an amazing boy who has been working very hard with our Training Team on his training and socialisation. Pablo is looking for a very special adopter that is ready to love him and be dedicated to his ongoing training. His forever home will need to have no children under 16, no other animals, and have previous experience with his breed, as well as a good understanding of reactive dogs. Pablo is a very friendly boy towards humans, but due to his large size it can be a bit much for some people that aren't used to big bouncy dogs! Pablo loves to get out and about to explore quiet areas away from too many distractions. He is super curious and loves to sniff out new smells! His adopters will need to be able to manage him on the lead due to his strength when he gets excited on walks. Pablo is still a young dog, and he hasn't spent a lot of time in a home so far. Although he settles well in his kennel here at the Centre, his adopters should be able to be at home with him to begin with so that he can settle into his new environment and leaving time can be gradually built up.

Is Pablo right for you?

Pablo is very much loved by the Training Team here at the Centre, and they are so proud of the progress he has made! If you are matched with Pablo, the adoption process will involve multiple meets here at the Centre with Pablo, home visits with the Training Team and Pablo, as well as plenty of guidance and support along the way. Pablo is a very active boy, so to keep him entertained and healthy he will need daily exercise and mental stimulation. He would be an amazing adventure companion for someone who loves hikes. Pablo also loves to play with his toys, so you will never be without a fun-loving playmate! If you think you could offer Pablo his forever home, please submit an application and include him as a 'Favourite' dog. Thank you!

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 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 …

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.
