Are you right for Rio?

Rio is a lovely 3-year-old Cockapoo with a gentle nature and a soft, sensitive side. He can be a little timid when he first meets new people, but it doesn’t take him long at all to warm up and show his sweet, affectionate personality. Rio enjoys the company of both people and other dogs and would really benefit from living with another friendly, confident dog to help build his confidence and keep him company. Rio is looking for a calm, understanding home that will give him time to settle at his own pace. He could live with children aged around 11+, or potentially younger sensible children who understand to give him space when he needs it. He has previously been worried by loud or unpredictable behaviour, so a quieter household would suit him best. Rio has lived with cats before without any issues, making him a great all-round companion for a multi-pet home.

Is Rio right for you?

Rio is a free-roaming boy in the home and is used to having the run of the house, where he happily settles downstairs for sleep. He is house trained, although he has had the occasional accident in very heavy rain, so some patience and encouragement may be needed. He can be left for periods of time, but any time alone should be built up gradually to help him feel secure. Out and about, Rio is a friendly and easy-going boy who walks nicely on the lead and is comfortable around traffic. He travels well in the car and takes new experiences in his stride. While he isn’t particularly interested in toys, he loves spending time with his people and other dogs, making companionship his biggest joy. Rio is a cuddly, affectionate boy who enjoys being close to his humans and is happy to be picked up and handled. He is good with grooming overall, though he can be a little wriggly when having his legs and nails done. He has no issues around food or treats and is generally an easy dog to have around the home. Rio may have a slightly shy start, but with a little patience and kindness, he blossoms into a wonderfully loving and loyal companion who will make a fantastic addition to the right 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.
