Are you right for Elijah?
Elijah is a sweet and friendly boy with lots of love to give! This handsome boy is always ready for some cuddles and loves nothing more than a fuss from his favourite people. When it comes to going walkies, Elijah is your boy! He gets incredibly excited when it’s time to explore and loves going to new places where there are lots of interesting smells. He is an active and bouncy boy with a plenty of zest for life, and there is nothing quite like watching him do zoomies round the garden having the time of his life! Elijah’s loves playtime, especially when toys are involved - his favourite toy is a tennis ball! He is also more than happy to settle down with a long-lasting chew afterwards. With his lively and enthusiastic nature, Elijah is looking for a home with experienced owners who can continue to guide him with his training. Being a sociable boy, Elijah could potentially share his home with another dog pending a successful meet at the centre. He would be happiest with a dog of a similar size and energy level, so they can enjoy a playtime together. If you are looking for a loving, playful and adventurous companion who will bring plenty of fun and affection into your life, Elijah could be the perfect match! AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.

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.
