Are you right for Luna?
Luna is a sweet one-year-old Lurcher who’s ready to find her forever home! She has spent a short time in a home environment where she was previously housetrained but may need a little refresher as she settles back into home life.
Luna is a lively, fun-loving girl who thrives on staying busy. She’s highly food-motivated and loves engaging in tasty enrichment activities like lick mats, Kongs and snuffle mats.
Luna is looking for a family who won’t need to leave her alone for long periods. She can become distressed when left by herself, so her new adopters will need to gradually build up the time she spends alone, providing her with things to keep her occupied.
Friendly and affectionate, Luna can sometimes be a bit boisterous, so she’d be best suited to a home with older, confident children aged 12 and up. True to her breed, Luna has a strong chase instinct and will zoom after anything small and furry! Because of this, she isn’t suitable to live with cats or small animals, and she’d do best in an area that isn’t heavily populated with cats.
Luna has been known to be a bit of an escape artist, so she’ll need a fully secure garden and supervision while outdoors.
She can find the big wide world both exciting and overwhelming, and sometimes struggles when meeting new dogs. For this reason she will need to be the only pet in her new home where her new family can help her work on her social skills, with support from our team, to help her learn how to be a polite and confident companion. She is also learning to wear a muzzle out and about on her walkies.
If you’re looking for a bright, loving dog who’s full of character and ready for adventure, Luna might just be the perfect match for you!
Is Luna right for you?
Luna has heaps of potential and adores spending time with her favourite people whether that’s soaking up fuss and affection, playing in the compounds, or heading out for walks and adventures. She’s an active girl who will thrive with a family that enjoys the outdoors and all the sights, sounds, and smells that come with it.

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 you a match.

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.

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 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.
