Abigail

I'm looking for my forever home. Could you be my perfect match?

Are you right for Abigail?

Meet Abigail, the sweetest Jack Russell X Pug you’ll ever see! She’s 6 years old and she's looking for a forever family who can give her plenty of cuddles. Abigail is an easy-going girl who loves meeting new people and making doggy friends. She’d love to be able to meet plenty of dog pals when she goes on walks, and she could potentially live with another small/medium dog (pending a successful meet here at the centre). We don't know if Abigail has lived with cats before, but we think she might be able to, as long as her new family is happy to take things slow with introductions at home. Abigail doesn’t mind a bit of hustle and bustle but she would prefer if any children at home are older primary school aged and above. This little cutie has so much love to give – could you be her perfect home?

Is Abigail right for you?

Abigail came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about her history. She’ll need owners who can be patient with her housetraining and who are happy to slowly build up any time left at home alone, as she can be a little bit vocal at first. Once she’s settled into the family, we believe she’ll be able to stay by herself for 4-6 hours at a time. Abigail has been instantly friendly with everyone she’s met so far here at the centre, and there’s nothing she loves more than getting lots of fuss and attention after a nice walk. We’re so excited to see Abigail thriving with her forever family!

How our rehoming process works

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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 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 you a match.

  3. 3

    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. 

  4. 4

    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 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 calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

    When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

    If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.
