Charlotte is a delightful 2-year-old miniature poodle cross searching for her new home. Due to her past, Charlotte has led a very sheltered life, living with multiple other dogs but not socialised with those outside her home. She can be unsure around overly enthusiastic dogs and shows this by becoming still and quiet. She often seeks reassurance from her handlers by following them around. Charlotte has the potential to live with another calm dog, pending successful meetings at the center. She also has the potential to live with a cat, pending careful introductions, as she has not lived with cats before. Initially shy when meeting new people, Charlotte warms up and loves fuss and attention once she feels comfortable. A quiet home with children aged 11 and older would be ideal, given her background and wariness around quick actions. Charlotte is still adjusting to walks and the outside world, so a garden will be beneficial for her while she settles in and learns house training.

Is Charlotte right for you?

Coming from a welfare hoarding situation, Charlotte needs a patient home willing to introduce her to the world at her own pace. She will require ongoing support for housetraining and time to adjust to her new environment. With patience and support, she can be built up to being left alone for a couple of hours if living with another dog. If homed without another dog, she will need an adopter around most of the time, as she has not been in a home without other dogs before. Charlotte is on the look out for a quiet, patient home to call her own!

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.
