Are you right for Lottie Longlegs?

Meet Lottie Longlegs: our sweet, gentle 5-year-old Greyhound! Lottie can be shy to begin with but forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. She has lots of love to give and, once she gets to know you, she is the sweetest, most affectionate girl - she loves to snuggle with her favourite people and put her head in their laps! Lottie can find the world a bit scary but she is gaining confidence every day, and has recently even become brave enough to start playing with her toys! She travels well in the car and walks nicely on the lead, although can take a bit of time getting used to a new environment. She is also a major foodie and tasty treats are definitely the way to her heart! Lottie gains a lot of comfort and confidence from being around fellow Sighthounds, so could share a home with another long-legged friend, pending successful meets at the centre. This little sweetheart hasn't had the best start in life so would benefit from a calm, patient family who can take the time to build her trust. She would prefer a less busy home environment so could live with children 16+. If you take the time to win Lottie Longlegs' heart, you are guaranteed to have the sweetest, most loyal companion for life!

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 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.

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.
