Are you right for Ginny?
Meet the prettiest angel, Ginny! Ginny is a 2-year old Collie x Lab looking for her forever home! Ginny is dog friendly and enjoys her walks with her polite doggy friends. She would prefer an adult only home where she can come round at her own pace, as she can be a bit worried meeting new people. She has grown her confidence with some of her handlers in the centre, asking for a small fuss, but won't want to be overhandled as this would be overwhelming for her.
Ginny is a sweet girl with a lot of love to give! She is kind-natured but she needs confidence building around meeting new people. We can't imagine she's had the best start, so kind and understanding owners would be needed for this angel. She is getting braver by the day, but the world is still a scary place for her so would love patient owners that can reassure her along the way and help her bloom into the amazing girl we know she can be.
Ginny would prefer a quiet, calm home where she can learn her new routine and build her confidence. She is such a wonderful girl, with a lot of potential and we can't wait to see her thriving.
Is Ginny right for you?
Ginny is a sweet young girl, who - once confident - will love her outdoorsy, sniffy walks where she can take in all the sights and smells. She walks well on lead, though, can be frightened of loud noises and fast movements.
Ginny would prefer owners to be around for most of the day at first, as she hasn't been left alone in a home environment for long, as far as we know! We think she will need some confidence building with veterinary handling as this can be quite scary for her.
We cannot wait to see this gorgeous girl living it up in her forever home (being a brave girl!).

How our rehoming process works

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 ready.

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.
