Are you right for Soppy Poppy?
Poppy is a pretty six-year-old Dogue De Bordeaux looking for a loving home. She could share her home with secondary school aged children. She is looking to be the only dog in the home and has no history living with cats, small furries, or livestock. Poppy is instantly friendly with new people and could cope with a busy home environment. She has been okay being left alone for a few hours. Poppy is housetrained. She travels well in the car.
Is Soppy Poppy right for you?
Poppy is an absolute pleasure to spend time with and is a real little character! She loves people and is a friendly, affectionate girl who adores being made a fuss of. She’s a happy-go-lucky, playful pup who will happily show off her best ‘zoomies’ if you play-bow at her! Poppy loves squeaky toys, rope toys and, of course, tasty treats! She also enjoys going out for walkies and loves to sniff, making sure she’s fully up to date with all the latest neighbourhood news. She can be a little strong on her lead at times. Poppy is worried by other dogs and can find them quite overwhelming, so she will need ongoing training and support to help her feel more comfortable around her canine friends. She is currently learning to wear a muzzle for peace of mind when she is working on her social skills. Poppy has a huge love for people and is always happy to make new human friends. She knows her ‘sit’ and ‘paw’ and is very food motivated, which makes her a great student when there are treats involved! With the right support, patience and confidence-building, Poppy has so much fun and happiness to give.

How our rehoming process works

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.

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.
