Are you right for Trinket?
Trinket came into our care as a stray but he has shown during his time in a foster home that he benefits from an understanding family who will give him the time he needs to settle in. Trinket is loving, exuberant (with toys), sensitive and sweet boy who is looking for his forever home. Trinket is looking for a quieter house and garden to build his confidence and is not necessarily looking for a family wanting to do lots of walking with him, as he can find environments beyond his safe spaces quite overwhelming at present, so is eager to find a patient family who will help work with him through this, with guidance from our training team to support him and you along the way. Although he is looking for an adult only home, he would be able to have secondary school aged visitors. He enjoys spending time with his favourite people in his safe space, currently this tends to be the sofa in his foster home! Trinket does enjoy the company of other dogs so could share his home with a similar sized dog to him, pending a successful mix in centre.
Is Trinket right for you?
Trinket brings a lot of love and smiles to his favourite people. He is a joy to watch flourish and gain confidence, particularly enjoying a snuggle and some fuss throughout the day. Trinket is such a special boy who has learnt to be housetrained and is eager to please, but time left alone would need to be built up for him in a new home whilst he adjusts, but hopefully when settled could be left for up to 4 hours. He particularly enjoys snoozing, sunbathing, and being near to his family. However, when confident and comfortable with you; he loves a good play and running after his favourite toys and showing you some of his tricks (especially if cheese is on offer!) Trinket can find getting into the car a bit tricky but is making progress with his training. He deserves to find his forever home that will love and appreciate him and help him flourish despite his worries. He is sure to give lots of love, affection, and silly moments in return for them!

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.

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.
