Are you right for Sweep?
Meet Sweep, our beautiful Husky X Retriever. This sweet boy is 3 years old and is happy to share his home with younger secondary school aged children, as long as they are comfortable with his bouncy nature! Sweep would prefer to be the only dog in the home; he can be vocal when he sees other dogs out and about, so he would love owners who are happy to help him to work on his doggy social skills. Sweep plays nicely and is friendly meeting new people out and about. He would love a home with a garden to run around in, and fairly active humans who can take him on all those nice sniffy walks. Could gorgeous Sweep be the dog for you?
Is Sweep right for you?
Sweep is full of beans and can be a bit restless in the car, but he is able to settle really nicely at home. He’s not used to spending time by himself, so he’s looking for someone who can build up any leaving hours slowly. He is working really hard on his loose lead walking here at the centre but will most likely need a family who are happy to keep up with this training so he can become the best walking companion. Sweep is super clever and enjoys enrichment games to keep his brain busy, and he loves a good treat too, so we think he’ll pick up any ongoing training really well! We can’t wait to see this handsome boy having the time of his life in his forever home.

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.

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.
