Are you right for Quinton?

Sweet and fluffy boy Quinton is a 1 and a half year old Retriever with bags of energy. He loves human company and aims to please, he loves to lean in for a good fuss and will rub himself all over you, he can get a little silly and wiggly when he gets excited. Toys are the best, he loves to chase and catch and sometimes play tuggy with a raggy toy, he can get a little over the top with toys so will need other forms of enrichment to keep his clever brain busy such as destruction boxes and training. This top guy is looking for his new family, could it be you?

Is Quinton right for you?

Quinton is looking for a calm and predictable home with a loving and active family who can take him on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help him settle in and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He can be worried sometimes and can live with secondary school children who will read when he is uncomfortable and give him space when needed. Quinton likes all of the attention to himself, so is looking to be the only pet in the home, he would benefit from having polite and calm walking buddies who will help him to build confidence around socialising with other dogs. Quinton has a little training under his belt, he can be enticed to engage in training in short sweet sessions if a tasty treat is on offer. He would like a home with a private, secure garden for him to potter about in at his leisure. Quinton can be a little worried being left so is looking for someone home the majority of the time at the beginning to help him settle in, any leaving time would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Quinton will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet her within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

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.
