Are you right for Frank?

Frank is a stunning young lad full of joy and personality, and he’s excited to find his perfect family! He’s a fun, bouncy boy who brings endless enthusiasm to everyone he meets. He’s currently practising his best manners and learning to keep all four paws on the floor — he’s just so happy he sometimes forgets how big he is! Frank enjoys his walks work but he is under socialised with dogs and can be reactive, having said that, we do feel he would benefit from living with another dog of similar size, as this would greatly help with his socialisation. He would benefit from an experienced home who are willing to continue with Franks ongoing training. Frank could live with older children who are confident around larger, playful dogs following a successful meet at the centre. Frank would suit a home where he is the only dog.

Is Frank right for you?

Frank is a bright, energetic one‑year‑old Dobermann who thrives on human companionship. Like many Dobies — often affectionately called “Velcro dogs” — he loves being close to his people and will happily be your loyal shadow. As he settles into his new home, his leaving times can be gradually built up with support. He’d adore joining in with family adventures and is always ready to hop into the car for a trip. Frank is learning to walk nicely on the lead, and he’s making great progress with a headcollar. He’s a clever boy who enjoys training, puzzles, and anything that keeps his brilliant brain busy.

How our rehoming process works

  1. 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. 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...

  3. 3

    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. 

  4. 4

    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 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 calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

    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. 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...

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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...
