Are you right for Duplo?
Meet Duplo – he is a 4.5-year-old Lurcher who cannot wait to find his forever home. Duplo is currently with one of our amazing foster carers and he is thriving! Duplo’s foster carer does not have a “typical” set up as he does dog boarding, so there are lots of dogs around and this is really helping Duplo! Duplo has previously struggled to settle in homes and having other dogs there has really helped him learn that he can settle, therefore we are looking to rehome him with another dog. When meeting new dogs, he can be vocal, so his new family and new dog best friend would need to understand this and not be put off by it, but he is just telling everyone where he is, what he is doing and that he wants to say hi! He can live with older secondary school aged children that are confident around boisterous dogs, as Duplo does jump up.
Is Duplo right for you?
Duplo loves to explore new places, but then go home and cuddle on the sofa, either with his people or with his dog siblings. Duplo took about two weeks to settle into his foster home, so we are really hoping that he can find a family that can give him the time and patience he deserves. Duplo loves going out in the car or van as these mean adventures, and he loves those! He can be left alone with another dog for a couple of hours and has been a good boy, so his new family could build up to this again. Duplo is also housetrained, but his foster home has a dog door, so he can come and go as he pleases. Duplo has not had the best of luck until he found his foster family, but he cannot wait to call a family his own. If you have time, patience, understanding and a lot of love to give, Duplo is your boy. We cannot wait for him to find his forever home!

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.

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.

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.
