Are you right for Rosti?
Meet Rosti, an adorable 6-year-old Poodle cross searching for his forever home. Despite his initial shyness around new people, Rosti warms up once he feels comfortable. An adult-only home where he can take his time to trust will suit him best. His journey to confidence involves getting used to walks, harnesses, and being on a lead, and he has made significant progress during his stay at the centre. Rosti loves playing with teddy bears and enjoys his independent playtime. Due to his sheltered past, he hasn't been socialised much with other dogs outside his previous home, so he'll need careful introductions to build his confidence. It's important that Rosti is the only dog in his new home, as he can be conflicted when meeting other dogs—sometimes excited to greet them but also uncertain. He has the potential to live with a cat, provided introductions are handled carefully. Rosti will need time to adjust to his new home and would benefit from having someone around initially, as he's not used to being left alone. A patient adopter who can introduce him to the world at his pace will be ideal.
Rosti is still getting accustomed to the world, so a garden is a must for him while he learns housetraining. He requires a gentle approach, especially as he finds the idea of walks and harnesses intimidating. Positive training will be essential to help him thrive.
Is Rosti right for you?
Due to his nervous nature, Rosti needs a calm, hands off introduction to new people to help him feel at ease. Grooming and vet visits can be challenging for him, so support from the training team will be provided to ensure his comfort. He will need ongoing housetraining support. Rosti is a sweet boy with a lot of potential to blossom in a loving, understanding home. With patience and support, he'll make a wonderful companion.

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.

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.

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.
