Meet Bob Marley, a 3-year-old Poodle cross who has had a difficult start to life. He will need patient and understanding adopters who can help introduce him to home life. Everything about the world is new to him, so he will need dedicated adopters to teach him everything from scratch and build on his confidence. Due to his worries, he needs to have a quieter home life with minimal visitors to start to help him settle. Bob is looking for a home away from any busy/main roads that produce a lot of noise and would love a home in a quieter residential area. He must have access to a private, secure garden that can provide him a safe space he can use to shake off and have extra space when he needs it. He needs to be the only dog in the home for now, as he has shown some worries about unfamiliar dogs here at the centre, but has the potential to live with one in the future. Due to Bob’s temperament and history, he could live with children aged 14+ who give him the space he needs. He would benefit from a safe space in the home that he can tuck himself away in when overwhelmed, if needed (a crate, quiet space, etc.) He is currently not walking on equipment, and he is looking for a home with adopters who can help him continue to build his confidence with an adopter and handling.

Is Bob Marley right for you?

Bob Marley is still learning about the world and what it has to offer. He likes to watch his humans from the safety of his kennel but is getting braver by the day - he has certainly found his voice! He enjoys playing with his siblings and absolutely loves his toys. Bob is slowly understanding that people can be kind and can be trusted. He will make a wonderful new addition to a family once he has settled in. If you could offer Bob a patient, understanding, slow-paced, calm home life, he could be your pawfect match!

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.
