Likes

Sadie is a sweet Collie with a sensitive soul. She lacks in self-confidence and can often find the big-wide-world all a bit daunting so is hopeful to find understanding owners who will show her lots of love and patience. It will take time to form a friendship with her, but if you allow her to take things at her own pace, it won't be long until she's playing a game of fetch and is keen to accept tasty sausage treats!

Type of home needed

Sadie lights up when in the company of her canine chums and loves to run about and play with them. She must share her home with another well-suited dog who can act as a good role model and who she can look to for support. She can also share her home with teenagers over the age of 14 but cannot live with any cats or other small furry pets. A quiet home, situated away from the busy roads and with a garden of her own is essential. Sadie will need for her new owners to continue practicing her car training program and some overall confidence building, and to be able to visit 2-3 times during the week to build the relationship.

More about me

We're sure that with a loving home Sadie is soon to blossom and her potential owners will enjoy watching her grow while supporting her through her journey.

How rehoming works

Thank you for your interest in Sadie, who is based at Shoreham. Please note this is not a reservation on this dog. To start the rehoming process you will need to go to a rehoming centre for a quick chat. Please find information below about what to expect during the rehoming process. We hope to see you soon.

The average time between visiting a Rehoming Centre and taking your new pet home is just eight days. Every circumstance is different but this brief guide lets you know what you will experience when you decide to rehome a dog from us.

The rehoming centre is your gateway to finding your new pet pooch. When you arrive at the centre you will be greeted in reception by a friendly face.

During this first visit we will take a few details from you so we know what you are looking for. You will be able to visit the dogs and we'll advise you on how to find the right dog for your circumstance and that your circumstances will work for the dog too.

We would like you to get to know your chosen dog before you take him home so, if you have any other dogs or family members, you may need to bring them along for a further visit to ensure the whole family is happy with the decision.

The fee for rehoming a dog is £150 (£140 in Ballymena due to extra dog licence fees),for puppies its £150 adoption fee plus a £45 Dog School fee but every dog is vet checked, microchipped, and neutered as well as a very cool Dogs Trust lead and collar - so we think it's a good deal!

On rehoming your new dog from Dogs Trust you can receive 4 weeks' free insurance from our partner Petplan, this covers your dog for any unexpected illnesses and injuries, for further details and to activate your 4 weeks' free trial visit the Petplan website.

So now you are ready to take your new pal home, just one more step which is a pre-adoption talk. This ensures you are aware of the responsibilities of dog ownership and reminds you that we are always here when you need us!
