Are you right for Lexi?

Four-year-old Lexi is looking for her forever home! She is currently in a foster home, and is doing brilliantly, a perfect work from home companion! Her foster carers describe her as “sweet and loving”, and she’s already mastered the art of the cuddle (you won’t find a better snuggler). She’s also a champion of the zoomies in true Lurcher style! —so get ready for some joyful, silly sprints around the garden or a secure field. Lexi enjoys a good mix of exercise and relaxation. While she does love a cosy nap on the sofa, she also enjoys getting out and about for adventurous walks. She’s been having a great time with her foster carers visiting new places and taking in the sights and smells of the countryside and a few pub gardens. She travels well in the car so a home that enjoys daily walks and a bit of outdoor time would be a lovely fit for her. When out and about, Lexi prefers walking in quieter areas so she can choose whether she would like to interact and make friends with other dogs or pass on by at a respectful distance. She is looking for a home where she can be the only pet and enjoy all the attention to herself.

Is Lexi right for you?

Lexi is a bright, fun-loving Lurcher with a huge heart and has a playful and affectionate nature. She is the perfect house guest as she is housetrained and absolutely thrives in the company of people, loves being involved in daily life and welcomes and settles well with visitors. She's happiest when surrounded by her humans, so she’s looking for company, either a single person or a family who are at home most of the time. Currently in her foster home her foster carers have built up the time left alone to two hours at any one time. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’ll fill your life with laughter and cuddles Lexi might just be the one for you. Could you be her perfect match?

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...
