Are you right for Baxter?

Baxter is looking for a home where any children are over 16 and he can be the only pet. His family will need to be committed to ongoing training to work on his impulse control and social skills. Baxter is fully house trained but may need a refresher, and he does enjoy some solo time although that may have to be built up gradualy whilst he settles in.

Is Baxter right for you?

With ears that point any which way but up, Baxter is one of the most recognisable and daftest dogs at our Merseyside centre! He’s three years old and full of potential, he just needs his hero to come and meet him. His needs are quite particular, but you’ll be rewarded with a lifetime of love and devotion and are absolutely guaranteed some laughs along the way. Baxter is incredibly intelligent and is a very cuddly boy once he's settled with you. He adores his training sessions with his best pal Rachel, and has made great progress, learning to manage his daft lad impulses! He walks beautifully on his lead and enjoys the company of other dogs, but he is way too physical in play to be off lead with them, and as he’s such a powerful dog we have to be careful he doesn’t get too giddy and accidentally upset someone! He loves to play with his toys and has learnt to settle happily by himself, quite content with his own company. Baxter has worked so very hard to become the wonderful friend he is and this has helped us formulate training plans for him in the home. He is such a loving and lovable dog and deserves to find his own family, they just need to be robust and up for some training!

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 …

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.
