Betsie is a delightful 11 year old Poodle X looking for a quiet retirement home where she can relax and receive all the love and fuss she deserves. She has lived with other dogs previously and has been friendly with the dogs at the centre and has the potential to live with another dog pending successful meets. She is a friendly girl but can be worried by overhandling so would be best suited to a home where any children are of Secondary School Age or older. Betsie would like someone at home with her the majority of the time initially and any leaving hours would need to be built up gradually once settled.

Is Betsie right for you?

Betsie is a sweet girl who came into our care from a large welfare case which means she has not had the usual life experiences a dog of her age would usually have had. As such, she is looking for a kind, patient and understanding home that can help her settle into her new life and routine. She will need support with housetraining and would benefit from a garden to allow this. Betsie has some ongoing medical which is well managed with pain relief and will need to continue on this longterm, we can go over this in more detail with any potential home.

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.
