Likes

Holmes is an active chap who enjoys life and sharing it with his friends. He loves getting outside for interesting walks in quiet areas, almost as much as he enjoys playing with his favourite squeaky toys. If any of this is followed by some positive-based training and tasty treats, Holmes will be a very happy chappy.

Type of home needed

This lovely lad would need to be the only dog in an adult-only home, that has direct access to a good-size, secure garden. Holmes would need a home that has few visitors and calm, patient owners that can give him plenty of space and time to settle in. He's an intelligent fella who enjoys his training and would benefit significantly from owners who can continue this in his new home.

More about me

Holmes is a super-handsome, Lurcher/Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross, who's looking for his very special forever home. Because he can be a little shy when meeting people for the first time, Holmes will need owners who can visit him multiple times, so you can both get to know each other and become great friends.

How rehoming works

Thank you for your interest in Holmes, who is based at Salisbury. 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!
