Are you right for Scout?

Scout is on the search for her forever home with an active family who can provide her with lots of mental and physical stimulation. She needs adopters who are able to further work on Scout's dog socialisation and help her learn to be polite around other dogs. She has made amazing progress with our Behaviour team and is looking to carry this on in her future home! Scout is fully muzzle-trained and will need to wear one when out in public. She will need to be the only pet in the home and can live with older children 14+. She would be happy to be left for longer periods of time once she has had time to settle into the home, but this will need to be built up. Scout would love a private and secure garden with ideally 6ft or taller fencing and potentially a long line to keep her content and safe. She would do best in a neighbourhood where there won't be dogs or dogs/people walking by the garden. Scout does have some medical considerations that will be discussed with our vet team upon booking.

Is Scout right for you?

Scout is the best girl! She is very sweet and loves to have her favourite people around as much as she can. If you enjoy peaceful walks, she would make the perfect walking buddy. She absolutely adores going out on her adventures and has lots of energy to burn. She can be bouncy and loves getting her nose to the ground as much as she can. Scout knows her name and shows off a great sit and down. She would benefit from learning to keep all four paws on the floor. She will self-entertain with soft toys and hard chews. She enjoys her enrichment; she loves to do any form of engaging training. Treats are the true way to Scout’s heart. Scout is a great girl who is sure to bring her forever family lots of joy.

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.
