Meet Mabel, a bright and playful two-year-old Labrador full of energy and personality! This beautiful girl adores spending time with her favourite people, chasing her toys, and splashing around in water — she’s a true water baby! Mabel could live with other dogs and loves sharing her fun, and she can also live with calm and sensible secondary school–aged children (14+). Initially, she will need low leaving hours to help her settle, but this can be gradually built up over time. Mabel is a clever little sausage who learns quickly and thrives on games that challenge her mind. She may be a little unsure at first, but with treats, toys, and patience, she soon warms up and reveals her affectionate, friendly side. She’s a confident traveller and would absolutely enjoy road trips, making her the perfect companion for adventures both near and far.

Is Mabel right for you?

Mabel is a fun-loving, affectionate, and clever girl who will keep you on your toes! She loves a splash in the water, playing with her toys, and enjoying enrichment that makes her think. Alongside her playful energy, she adores spending quality time with her people — whether that’s cuddles, fuss, or simply being nearby while you go about your day. With her joyful personality, boundless enthusiasm, and loving nature, Mabel is the kind of dog who will brighten every day. She’s ready to bring her playful spark and clever tricks into a home that can match her energy — could that be yours?

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.
