Are you right for Olive?

Meet Olive, our gorgeous 8 year old Pug X Jack Russell Terrier. This sweet girl is full of life and would love to live with a family who can keep her active in the day and offer expert cuddles in the evening. She can live with younger primary school aged children, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home as she is still building her confidence around other dogs. Olive loves to have all the attention from her people so would love a family who can spend plenty of quality time with her throughout the day. A home that isn't too noisy would be ideal, so she can curl up for a nice cosy nap whenever she wants.

Is Olive right for you?

Olive is a bouncy and energetic girl who will jump up to greet you every time she sees you. She walks well on lead and enjoys sniffy walks where she can engage her brain. She can walk alongside other dogs, but may do a worried bark at first. This is just because she is still a bit underconfident, but enjoys their company. Olive loves her teddies and soft toys and will play with them either with you or by herself. She is a clever girl and loves her enrichment, especially a lickimat. This gorgeous girl is such a joy to be around and she can't wait to find her forever home.

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.
