Are you right for Bamba?

Meet Bamba, a 3.5-year-old Harrier Crossbreed, who is looking for a home that will help her continue to build her confidence. Bamba can be quite nervous and will need a home that has the time and patience to gradually open up her world and continue building on the confidence she is gaining here in the centre. Bamba would benefit from living in a quieter or rural area, as she can find busy roads and lots of people worrying. Bamba has enjoyed mixing with dogs at the centre, and we have seen this bring her some more confidence. She could live with a relatively calm or neutral, well-matched dog, pending meets at the centre, and she could also live with cats (pending a scent swap) and small furries, birds and livestock if kept separate. Bamba could live with older secondary school-aged children who feel confident understanding her signals and giving her space when she needs it. Bamba enjoys meeting new people at her pace and could have regular visitors once she is fully settled and has established a safe space.

Is Bamba right for you?

Beautiful Bamba is a sweet and sensitive girl with lots of love to give. She is growing in confidence each day. Bamba loves being around her favourite people. She loves nothing more than to cuddle up with her handlers before, during and after activity. She relies on these bonds that she has built to help her take new steps in her confidence-building. She loves making new four-legged friends. Her doggy friends have helped bring out the playful side of Bamba and help her to explore new places. Bamba would make a perfect addition to a home that will give her the time and patience for her to blossom.

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 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.
