Teddy is a very handsome 9 year old Saluki cross Greyhound looking for his new home. Initially shy with new people, Teddy gets confidence from having a doggy pal around and will need to live with another dog. Teddy is house trained and is a good traveller in the car, previously going on UK dog friendly holidays. Although a sensitive chap, he is an affectionate boy once he has had some time to get used to someone new, and enjoys his fusses. Walkies in low traffic areas are Teddy's favourite and he gets very excited when he sees his lead and harness come out, jumping around with joy. Although a larger dog, Teddy walks nicely on lead, although you may need to keep an eye out for small furries like squirrels or cats.

Is Teddy right for you?

A sensitive boy, Teddy will need patient adopters who are happy for him to settle in at his pace, along with a secure private garden to explore. Teddy is looking for a new home with a friendly canine companion, as this really helps to boost his confidence. Although he will need a dog friend in his new home, he is unfortunately unable to live with cats or other animals. A quiet home where any children are older teens will be the best match for Teddy. In his current home, Teddy is used to spending a few hours by himself, although we recommend building this time up gradually once Teddy has settled in to his new home. A very sweet boy, Teddy will be a wonderful, gentle companion for his new family. Please note: If you already have an open adoption application and are interested in knowing if Teddy is a match, please let us know you are interested in him by emailing us on shoreham.rehoming@dogstrust.org.uk.

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 …

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.
