Are you right for Charlie?

Charlie is looking for his calm and comfortable forever home where he can truly thrive. He would do best suited living in a quiet location with minimal foot traffic and a private, secure garden where he can play and relax. Charlie would like to walk in peaceful areas with plenty of space to create distance from things that might worry him, such as bikes or fast-moving objects. Charlie has lived with teenagers and has been friendly toward them. He may also be suitable for homes with primary school-aged children, following successful introductions at the centre. He is looking for a family that is committed to carrying on his training and confidence-building exercises, as Charlie loves learning and growing. He will need a family who can be around most of the time at first, as he finds being left alone difficult. With patience and support, his confidence will grow, and leaving hours can be built up gradually. A strong support network—whether that’s multiple people in the household or family and friends—will help him feel secure. Charlie is very sociable with other dogs and enjoys playtime, though he can be a little excitable and vocal when meeting new friends. He will need to be rehomed with his best friend, Pluto. These two share a wonderful bond, and Pluto gains lots of confidence from having Charlie by his side.

Is Charlie right for you?

Charlie is an affectionate Poodle Maltese cross who is currently in our care and sharing a kennel with his best friend, Pluto. He is a happy, curious little chap who loves exploring, sniffing, and playing with toys. He adores cuddles and spending time with people, especially his best mate, Pluto. He’s friendly with other dogs and loves playtime. Charlie is housetrained and loves being part of family life. He’s not the biggest fan of car travel yet, so a home that doesn’t need frequent journeys would be ideal. With short, positive experiences, he’ll learn that car rides can be fun too! Charlie and Pluto share a wonderful bond, and they’re looking for a loving home where they can stay together and bring double the joy.

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 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 …

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’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.

With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care …
