Are you right for Clementine?
Meet our gorgeous Clementine, a 4-year old Lurcher girl looking for her forever home. Little Clem has had a rough start to life and as you can see, her skin still has a bit of healing to do. She gets her confidence from being around other dogs, so would ideally be rehomed with another dog, pending a successful meet at our centre. Clem is a sweet girl who can live with children as young as 8 years old, as long as they are calm and sensible. When meeting new people, she likes to be able to come to the person in her own time but we know with a bit of confidence building and TLC she will be the most loving girl. Once she has built that bond with you Clem loves a good fuss and she will be such a wonderful addition to the family. Clementine loves to get out for sniffy walks with her doggy friends, and would really benefit from a family that is willing to keep up with her confidence building and basic training as she did miss out on a lot of this. We cannot wait to see her curled up on her forever sofa, lapping up all the love and affection she so deserves!
Is Clementine right for you?
Clementine is such a gorgeous girl, with such a sweet temperament. Due to having some sore skin, she has been having medicated baths which she has been very tolerant for and is taking some additional tablets to help with itchiness. She was also quite thin when she first came into our care and so she does sometimes want all the food for herself. We have noticed that she will occasionally guard food from other dogs - mainly grumbles around treats on the floor - so this may need to be managed in the home. Clem has been staying in one of our wonderful foster homes where she has felt safe and confident enough to show her playful side and it is now rare to see her without one of her rubber toys in her mouth! She is such a lovely girl, and we can't wait to see her thriving and looking like a happy, healthy dog in a loving home!

How our rehoming process works

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.
