Are you right for Kaye?

Looking for a super snuggly sofa buddy? Then meet Kaye! He’s a playful 2yr old Cane Corso Crossbreed who was handed over to us through no fault of his own. Being rehomed at his young age has left him a little worried of the big wide world but he’s come along leaps and bounds through training, and he now soon comes around after a few meets, and plenty of tasty treats! He's such a friendly lad but just needs a little space when he first meets you to build his confidence. Once there is a relationship, you will see the dog we see, a fun, playful, smart and incredibly affectionate boy. He thinks he's a lap dog so will be on your knee in no time!

Is Kaye right for you?

Kaye is going flourish in a home with adopters who’ll continue to slowly build his confidence, and we’ll happily support every step of the way. He’ll need a calm, quiet adult only household where there won’t be too many visitors and a secure garden, as he LOVES to play off lead. He is very social with other dogs when introduced properly and we believe he could share his home with a well-mannered doggy friend who could be a good role model for him. He enjoys his walkies and will need to walk in quieter areas initially as he builds his confidence with his new environment. With a little time and patience, young Kaye will soon be an asset to his family, not to mention the giver of the best sofa snuggles! Kaye is currently taking medication for his anxiety but please don't let this be a barrier to adopting him as Dogs Trust may be able to help with some of the cost and our Vet will discuss this in more detail. Potential adopters will need to live within an hour of the Leeds centre

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...
