Are you right for Sasha?

Sasha can live with children of high school age but no other pets. She is house trained and will ask to go outside, and can be left alone for a few hours once settled.

Is Sasha right for you?

Sasha had a very tumultuous puppyhood after being found in a box on a scorching hot day with her littermates. She was rehomed but sadly due to family ill health, she is back in our care and in need of a new family. She's a very lovely girl and incredibly bright, but can be wary of being handled at times and often doesn't quite know what we expect of her. She enjoys her walks nut worries about having her harness put on, so we make it a positive experience by giving titbits throughout. Sasha can get stressed on her walks and will twist the lead around, so she'll need a patient family that don't shout at her for this, instead reassuring her that she's OK on her walks. She is often on the lookout for dogs on her walks and her interactions with them aren't great, with Sasha becoming easily frustrated. She would benefit from gradual socialisation with other dogs, but not to be pushed into inappropriate situations that will cause her stress. Our training team will discuss this in depth with her adopters, making a plan that works for all. Sasha is very friendly with people outside and get excited to say hello, sometimes gently grabbing hands. She means no harm but it shouldn't be encouraged. She absolutely love toys and treats and these make great training tools to set this gorgeous girl up for future success, with a family willing to put in a little work with her.

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...

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...

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. With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care Card and...
