Are you right for Otto?
Meet the lovely Otto! Otto is a 5 year old Labrador and is looking for his forever home. He is a very sociable boy and absolutely loves meeting people! He is looking for a family that can take him on plenty of adventures and give him the love he deserves. He is a typical bouncy Labrador and is looking for a family that are able to give him plenty of exercise and mental enrichment to keep him busy. He will benefit from an enclosed garden space so he can run around and play with his new family before joining them for cuddles!
Is Otto right for you?
Otto is looking for a family to love and to call his own. In recent years, Otto was an outside dog, so he will require extra help with learning how to settle in a home. He could live with another dog pending successful meets at the centre. He could also live with children who have a sensible approach to dogs. He will need a family who are comfortable with big, excitable dogs and a home where he can receive plenty of love. If you think you can offer Otto the home he deserves, don't forget to "favourite" him when submitting an application.

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.
