Are you right for Jac?
Jac is on the lookout for a home where he can truly thrive! He can happily live with secondary school aged children and would love to be the centre of attention as the only dog in the home. He's looking for a home without cats, birds, or small furry pets. Jac enjoys exploring quieter, more rural walking routes where he can take in all the exciting sights and smells. He has a high prey drive, so extra care will be needed around livestock and local wildlife. Jac has learnt to wear a muzzle when out and about and is happy wearing it on his adventures. Jac could cope well in a reasonably busy household, he is fully housetrained and settles beautifully indoors. He would make the perfect work from home companion! Time left alone will need to be built up gradually. Jac is a happy traveller and enjoys going out in the car, ready for his next adventure. He'll need a secure garden with high fencing where he can safely stretch his legs, and he'd absolutely love regular trips to a large secure field where he can really enjoy himself.
Is Jac right for you?
Jac is an adorable six-year-old German Shepherd cross Dobermann with a huge heart and an even bigger love for people! He's instantly friendly when meeting new faces and quickly wins everyone over with his affectionate nature. Jac absolutely loves attention, enjoys plenty of fuss, and is happiest when he's snuggled up with the people he loves, forming strong and loyal bonds. When it's time for an adventure, Jac is always ready! He enjoys exploring fields, peaceful countryside walks, and trips to the beach during quieter times. Although he's a big boy, he's worked hard on his loose lead walking and is lovely to walk with. Like many dogs, he can become a little strong when he's excited, but he's keen to get back into his stride. Jac much prefers quieter walking spots away from busy dog areas and is happy to make canine friends, especially calm dogs who enjoy walking alongside him. Jac is a clever boy who already knows an impressive range of cues, including "sit", "down", "wait", "leave", "touch", and "paw". His favourite way to learn is with tasty cheese treats as a reward! He also loves putting his nose to work with scent games and really enjoys learning new tricks, making him a fun and rewarding companion to train. When playtime comes around, Jac is all in! He loves a good game with his toys, especially anything squeaky, tug toys, balls, and a game of fetch. Whether he's out exploring, learning something new, or curled up beside you after a busy day, Jac is sure to bring lots of love, fun, and companionship to his forever home. He sleeps soundly through the night and loves nothing more than curling up for a snuggle on the sofa or relaxing in a comfy bed after a day of fun.

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.
