Are you right for Kenya?

Kenya is a 9 year old Neopolitan Mastiff crossbreed. She is a friendly girl who could join a home with children of Primary School age and older and has the potential to live with another dog pending meets at the centre. Kenya has been on a weight loss programme since coming into our care and would benefit from having her own garden to help with this and provide easy toilet access as she is housetrained. She is people and dog friendly so could cope if this were a communal space. Once settled, leaving hours could be introduced.

Is Kenya right for you?

Kenya is a gentle soul who came into our care having been found as a stray. She did not come into us in the best condition and has been receiving ongoing vet care for her skin and this may need to continue once in her new home. She has done a great job on her weight loss journey but still has a way to go to reach her ideal weight so her exercise levels will need to be built up gradually as she gets into shape. Kenya is a real sweetheart who has won the hearts of all the staff and volunteers at the Centre and we are all hoping we can help her find her furever family who can provide her with the love and care this angel deserves.

How our rehoming process works

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.

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 ready.

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.
