Are you right for Kida?

Meet gorgeous girl, Kida! Kida is a 1-year old Lurcher princess looking for her forever home. Kida could live with another dog in the home, pending a successful meet in the centre - any potential resident dog would need to be tolerant and similar in playstyle as Kida can be quite boisterous! Kida would like for all children in the home to be sensible secondary school aged and over, as she is a bouncy girl, and will jump up for fuss! Kida loves spending time with her people; a cuddle, a snuggle and a snooze together! She would love to sleep on the bed at night with her people, and would prefer to not be left alone for too long during the day as she can find this a bit upsetting. Kida is a big fan of all things food and fun! She loves her snacks, and is a very clever girl! She also loves playing with her toys, including a good game of tug! Kida will need her space when eating as she has shown potential to guard if food is taken off her, so we would always advise never to challenge for resources and instead offer an alternative in a 'swap & drop'. Kida is a gorgeous girl with a heart of gold, who LOVES her walks and sniffy adventures. She is looking for an active family that can take her on fun walks and keep her mind busy! She can pull on the lead, so will need a bit of support in this area, but will make an amazing addition to the home. We can't wait to see this beautiful angel curled up in her forever home!

Is Kida right for you?

Kida is the sweetest, most loving girl you could meet. She wants to jump up for a cuddle with everyone she meets, and sometimes doesn't quite know her size! She can have a bark at other dogs if she can't get to them to say hello, but is still a baby so she still has things to learn. Kida loves a zoom off-lead in an enclosed paddock, and will enjoy a good playtime in her own garden. She could cope with a busier home but can find loud traffic a bit spooky, so would enjoy quieter walks if possible. Kida will be a wonderful, loving and playful companion and will make her new family so very happy!

How our rehoming process works

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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...

    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.

  3. 3

    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. 

  4. 4

    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...

    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 calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

    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.

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.
