Are you right for Harry?

Harry is a sweet, soulful 5-year-old crossbreed who fills every room with warmth and gentle charm. He adores relaxing snuggles on the sofa, especially when he can curl up next to his humans for a cozy TV session — The Great British Bake Off is a particular favourite! Harry is fully house-trained and will even let you know when it’s time to head outside. He travels well in the car and is an excellent house guest, making him a calm and loyal companion for everyday life. Out and about, Harry enjoys leisurely walks, particularly in quieter areas where he can take his time and enjoy all the scents along the way. He’s stylishly confident in his blue muzzle and on-lead, which help him feel safe while exploring new surroundings. With some gentle patience and understanding, Harry can continue to build his confidence around new people. He may even be able to live with another dog after careful meet-and-greets, and could potentially share a home with a dog-savvy cat. Harry is looking for a calm, adult-only home in a peaceful setting where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished — a special place where his warm, affectionate personality can truly shine.

Is Harry right for you?

Harry would thrive in a home where life moves at a gentler pace — imagine countryside strolls, the scent of fresh air, and quiet, peaceful evenings. He’s a sensitive, thoughtful soul who blossoms in calm surroundings and thrives on routine. With patience, understanding, and a little guidance in continuing his training, Harry will reward you with unwavering loyalty, gentle companionship, and endless love. He’ll happily curl up beside you under a cosy blanket, especially if there’s a baking show on the TV to enjoy together, making every quiet moment feel warm, comforting, and completely magical. A secure garden, a comfy sofa, and a family who adores dogs with big personalities and even bigger hearts would make Harry feel right at home.

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 …

Apply Now

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 …

When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

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.
