Likes

Jack is a very shy and sensitive young dog who has had little in the way of socialisation, and does find the big wide world a little scary. Everything with Jack will need to be done in a very calm, and slow manner, and prospective owners need to be aware that it may take this boy a long time to settle into his new home and find his feet. Training with Jack will be ongoing, and owners will need to visit the centre multiple times to meet him.

Type of home needed

Jack is looking for a quiet,adult home with experienced dog owners who have an existing, confident and well trained adult dog who can help him to feel more comfortable in new surroundings.He will never be the most conident party animal but in time he will blossom and be a wonderful companion for someone.

Please call the centre before travelling to speak to the trainers who understand his needs.

How rehoming works

Thank you for your interest in Jack, who is based at Darlington. 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 £130 (£110 in Ballymena due to extra dog licence fees), 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 will 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!
