Are you right for Patch?
Patch is a beautiful girl, both in looks and in nature. She is on the search for her adult-only forever home! Patch is more comfortable around females, but given time and patience, she can make bonds with males as well. Patch enjoys the company of other dogs when she is out on her adventures, but would prefer her own space in the home. Therefore, she should be the only dog in the home and the only pet due to some strong breed traits she has. When it comes to being fed, Patch would like to have her own separate space from the rest of the house to enjoy her food by herself and is looking for a home that doesn't have an open floor plan. Her forever home should also have the ability to separate her from the front door. Patch's dream is to have a private and secure garden where she can enjoy having her short bursts of zoomies and sniffy time! She does have the potential to be left for up to 6 hours; however, this will need to be built up. She loves a good long snooze! Any visitors to the home will need to be fully introduced to Patch or kept fully separate.
Is Patch right for you?
Patch is a soft soul with even softer fur who enjoys the finer things in life. She is a wonderfully goofy and playful girl. Although it can take her some time to open up, once she knows you, she will greet you with a proper wiggle and a happy tail. Patch adores exploring new places and dipping her toes in the water at the local lake. She is a super clever girl who loves putting her brain to the test with different types of training and enrichment activities. She adores going into one of our secure fields where she can have short bursts of zoomies before continuing on a chilled walk with her favourite friends. Patch can frequently be found chilling on her bed in the funniest positions and more often than not having a snooze. She is a real softie at heart and would love a quiet home where she can relax and put her paws up. She is the perfect companion who is happy just catching up on some beauty sleep or going out for a potter with her doggy friends! If you could offer Patch a cosy forever home, she could be your pawfect match!

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.

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 a match.

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.

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.
