Are you right for Bean?

Bean is a beautiful, bright 1-year-old who’s full of energy and character. She can be vocal and sensitive when meeting new people, but with a little patience (and a few tasty treats), she soon starts to make friends. Bean will need multiple meetings with her new adopters to help her feel comfortable and build trust at her own pace. She’s recently finished raising a litter of puppies and is now ready to focus on herself and enjoy being a young dog again. As she’s still learning about the world, Bean would benefit from experienced owners who understand her breed and can provide the structure, training, and enrichment she needs to thrive.

Is Bean right for you?

Bean has not yet mixed with other dogs and can be vocal when she sees them, so she’s looking for a home where she’ll be the only pet and is not let off lead in public. She also cannot live with cats, small furries, or young children — her guarding tendencies, particularly around food, mean she’ll need a calm home with children aged 16 and over. Bean is a high-energy girl who loves to be active and engaged, so daily exercise and mental stimulation are a must. Bean has settled beautifully into her foster home, she is fully housetrained and can be left alone for a few hours. If you have the time, understanding, and breed knowledge to give Bean the patient, loving environment she deserves, we are sure she’ll reward you with loyalty, companionship, and affection. Beans new family will need to be able to attend the centre for multiple meetings at the rehoming centre and have a chat with our Training and Behaviour team. Our team will give you the advice and tools to settle this lovely girl in to the home.

How our rehoming process works

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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 you...

  3. 3

    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. 

  4. 4

    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 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 calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

    When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

    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...

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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. With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care Card and...
