Meet Chase – a bright and bouncy 2-year-and-7-month-old pup with a confident, excitable nature that shines through when meeting new people and dogs alike. Chase is looking for a home that can match his friendly energy while providing calm guidance and structure. He’s medium energy, meaning he’ll enjoy daily walks and playtime but also values his downtime. He can be left alone for up to four hours, though this will need to be built up gradually as he settles in. History of Chase living with cats or small furries is unknown and untested, he could potentially share his home with another dog( pending a successful dog mix here at the centre) and children aged 6 and up who are confident and respectful.

Is Chase right for you?

Chase will thrive in a home that’s ready to invest time, patience, and love into helping him grow. While he's sociable and outgoing, he needs a bit of support when it comes to car travel, so a patient adopter willing to help him get more comfortable on the road would be ideal. His enthusiastic approach to life makes him a joy to be around, and with the right guidance, Chase will be a loyal, fun, and loving companion. If you’re looking for a dog who’s full of character and ready to explore the world with you, Chase could be the perfect fit.

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 …

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.

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.
