Are you right for Sully?

Sully is a 1-year-old Labrador Retriever cross who is looking for a loving and active home to call his own. He’s a large, playful boy with a very sweet nature and lots of affection to give, so he’ll need a family who can continue his training and give him the time and attention he deserves. Sully has lived with other dogs and enjoys their company, often wanting to play, so he could live with another dog following successful introductions. He has also lived with young children, but due to his excitable and bouncy nature, he would be best suited to a home with children aged 3+ who are confident around larger dogs. Sully can be left alone for around 4-6 hours and is comfortable settling in his crate, although this is not ideal and he would much prefer a home where someone is around for more of the day. He may become over-excited when his owners return, which can lead to some scratching or chewing around doorways. He is looking for a patient and understanding home that can help him manage his excitement and continue building good habits.

Is Sully right for you?

Sully is a lovely, affectionate boy who absolutely adores people and loves being part of the action. He is very friendly with visitors and enjoys meeting new people, making him a great companion for a sociable household. He has a playful personality and loves games like fetch, as well as learning new tricks. He’s a clever boy who is eager to please and responds well to training. Out on walks, Sully can be strong on the lead and may need some ongoing training, but he is already halti-trained which is a great starting point. He is generally good around traffic and enjoys getting out and about, although he doesn’t currently get as much exercise as he once did, so will benefit from gradually building this back up. Sully travels in the car but can become a little stressed and excitable, so will need support to feel more relaxed on journeys. Around other animals, he has shown interest but has not chased cats, although he may chase birds. Sully is a fun, loving dog with a big heart and lots of potential. With the right guidance, patience, and an active home, he will make a loyal and rewarding companion who will bring plenty of joy and energy into his new family’s life.

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.
