Are you right for Dolly?

Dolly’s perfect home would be with a loving family who can offer her plenty of cuddles, companionship and little adventures. As a slightly older girl, she would appreciate a family who understands that, while she may not be super active, she still loves a gentle stroll, exploring new places and stopping to sniff all the wonderful smells along the way. A cosy home with comfy beds, lots of affection and people who will treasure her would be just perfect. Above all, Dolly is looking for a family to share life’s simple pleasures with, from peaceful potters outdoors to snuggly afternoons on the sofa.

Is Dolly right for you?

Dolly is an 11-year-old Pug with a gentle, friendly nature. She loves being around people, enjoying chin scratches, going for sniffy walks and indulging in tasty treats before curling up for a nap. Dolly is looking for a quiet home with plenty of company, as she finds being left alone difficult. She would prefer to be the only dog, although a calm companion may be considered. She’ll need a little patience with house training as she settles in, but with love and understanding, Dolly could make a wonderful companion for someone looking to give a sweet older girl a cosy home to enjoy her golden years.

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.

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 ready.

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.
