Are you right for Betty?

Sweet and friendly girl Betty is an 11 year old Labrador cross who needs a loving home to call her own. She is a super fun and playful girl, she will bound around after a tennis ball with a lust for life just like a puppy. Betty will approach for a fuss within minutes of meeting you, she loves a head and neck scratch and will soon get all silly and roll over for belly scratches, if you dare to stop she will nudge you and lean into you for more. This lovely lass is ready to find her new family.

Is Betty right for you?

Betty is looking for a calm and quiet home with loving and active adopters who can take her on sniffy strolls, who will take the time to help her settle in and give her all the love and attention she deserves. She is a polite and friendly girl but does like her space, so is looking for a home with sensible primary school children who can play with her nicely and will give her space to rest and relax when needed. Betty would like to be the only pet in the home so she can have all of the love and attention to herself, she would be ok with polite and calm walking buddies. Betty is a clever bean and already has training under her belt, she does a lovely “sit”, “wait”, “paw” and “down”. She can be enticed to engage in training in short sweet sessions if a tasty treat is on offer. She would like a home with a private, secure garden for her to potter about in at her leisure but this is not a necessity as long as her family are happy to take her on regular walks. Betty can settle in the home alone for a few hours, although any leaving time would need to be built up slowly once she has had time to settle into her new home. Betty will need to meet her adopters a few times prior to going home, she is also on daily medication 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.

How our rehoming process works

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 …

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 …

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.
