Are you right for Max?

Max is a lovely, 10-year-old Cockapoo looking for a calm and caring home where he can enjoy life at a gentler pace. He’s a super affectionate boy who adores being around people and will happily spend his days by your side, whether that’s pottering around the house or curling up for a cuddle on the sofa. Max would love a home where someone is around most of the time, as he can find being left alone a little worrying. He may become unsettled and vocal when left, so his new family will need to be patient and help him build up his confidence gradually. In return, you’ll have a loyal companion who just wants to be close to you. Out and about, Max enjoys his walks and is happy to say hello to other dogs without being reactive. He has previously lived with another dog and could do so again, but he’d also be perfectly content as the only pet, as people are definitely his favourite! He can sometimes guard higher-value treats around other dogs, so any feeding would need to be managed separately. Max has lived with children before and was fine, but due to his age and reduced sight and hearing, he would be better suited to a quieter home with older children or adults only, where things are a little more predictable for him.

Is Max right for you?

Max is a real sweetheart who quickly wins people over with his friendly nature and love of cuddles. He is house trained, walks nicely on the lead and travels well in the car, making him an easy companion to have around. He doesn’t need lots of high-energy exercise (two shorter walks a day suit him perfectly) but he will benefit from quieter walking areas, as loud traffic can make him a little unsure due to his reduced vision. At home, Max settles well and enjoys having free run of the downstairs. He may occasionally get a little unsettled if he’s unsure of his surroundings, so a consistent home setup will really help him feel safe and secure. Max may be an older boy, but he has so much love to give. He’s looking for a kind, understanding home where he can enjoy companionship, comfort and plenty of affection. In return, he’ll be a devoted little shadow and a truly wonderful best friend.

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 …

Apply Now

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.
