Are you right for Boo?
Boo enjoys getting out on walks, she is gentle on the lead and respectful to other dogs, she loves having a good zoomie in a secure field or safely enclosed garden. She has been known to have a little look around to see what lives on the kitchen countertops too, so her new family will need to make sure anything tempting is safely out of reach while she settles in.
Boo knows some basic commands including sit, lie and up — which she has learned means it’s time to get up on the sofa!
With her being so relaxed and well behaved around other dogs, we feel she could potentially live with a neutered dog, subject to a successful meet at the centre. Boo can also live with children. We have not seen her around small furries!
Boo would like a home where someone is around for most of the day while she settles in and gets to know her new surroundings. She is looking for someone who will enjoy having her as a close companion and who can give her the time, affection and reassurance she needs.
Is Boo right for you?
Boo is a friendly young Lurcher (approx 1 year old) who came into our care via the stray pound after sadly remaining unclaimed.
Boo is a real sweetheart and an absolute snuggle bug! She travels well in the car and loves nothing more than lounging in sunny spots or curling up on the sofa. She is at her happiest sat beside you leaning against you for snuggles, or standing beside you where she'll slowly lean on you until she flops down on her side, where she'll show you her belly with her legs in the air, proudly showing you her belly for some gentle tummy rubs! If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate companion who will happily soak up all the snuggle, love and affection you can offer, Boo could be your girl.

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.

Show detailsIf 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.
