Are you right for Orlando?

Golden boy Orlando is a 3 and a half year old French Bulldog whose fur is so shiny he literally sparkles in the sun! He is a bouncing ball of energy who likes to play with his favourite people, he likes toys and will chase around after them and bat them about. He likes to approach for a fuss on his terms, he likes back scratches and will climb into your lap and paw you for more. This super sweet little guy is ready to find his new home.

Is Orlando right for you?

Orlando is looking for a home with loving adopters who can take him on gentle strolls and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He is a friendly and playful bean who could live with primary school children who will play with him nicely and will give him space to eat and rest when needed. Orlando could share his home with another playful dog, this will be pending successful meets at the centre. Living with a dog is not a necessity, he would be happy with friendly and playful walking buddies. Orlando has some training under his belt, he does a lovely “sit” and is eager to engage in training in short, sweet sessions as long as a tasty treat is on offer. He would like a home with a private, secure garden for him to potter about in at his leisure. Orlando can settle nicely in the home, so could be left for up to 6 hours, leaving time would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Orlando has ear and skin allergies, he does not currently need medication but may do in the future, he will also will need to meet his adopters a few times prior to going home and will be going home on a foster to adopt basis while he is finishing up vet checks so please bear this in mind when applying.

How our rehoming process works

1
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.

Choose a rehoming centre
We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found...

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.

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match
If we don’t have a dog for you right now, we’ll keep your application open for three months and keep you in mind for any new dogs that arrive. If within this time you see another dog you are interested in, you won't need to apply again but you can amend your application by...

If 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.

We’ll support you to embark on a new life with your dog
When we’ve matched you with a dog, we’ll help you welcome them to your home. After adoption we’ll keep in touch to see how you and the dog are doing. If you need any advice or support, we’re just a phone call away.
