Are you right for Emily?
Emily is looking for a home where any children are of upper secondary ages and above as she is a lively girl. She would like to be the only dog in the home, as she is undersocialised around them so would benefit from a family willing to work on this with her. Emily would not be suited to live with cats, however could live with small furries if they are kept separate. She would love a private secure garden where she can explore freely and burn off some of her endless energy. Emily can struggle to settle in a home environment so would suit adopters that are dedicated to her ongoing training, providing a patient and stable environment for her. As she struggles to be left on her own, Emily is looking for a home that can build up her time spent alone slowly as she settles in. She would also like a home where any car travel is not essential as she will need to continue her confidence training around this before heading on adventures. Emily will require home trials to assist in her settling into her home, therefore her new family will need to reside within one hour of the rehoming centre so we can facilitate this.
Is Emily right for you?
Meet Emily, our bouncy and a little bit bonkers 8 year old Labrador that is seeking a forever family that can match her enthusiasm for all things life! She loves nothing more than zooming around secure areas with her favourite toy in her mouth, proving just how clever she is by happily offering sits and downs in exchange for tasty rewards! Out on walks, she enjoys every scent the world has to offer. Though she can find it hard to fully relax indoors and prefers the comfort of staying close to her people, Emily’s food‑motivation, love of interaction, and eagerness to learn means she’ll thrive with patient adopters who can support her as she continues to grow in confidence and settle into home life.

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.

Show detailsIf 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.
