Are you right for Branston?
Meet Branston, the happiest boy with the goofiest grin, he is a 3 year old Rottweiler with a heart as big as his boundless energy. His idea of a perfect day? Playing with his toys and snuggling with his favourite humans. Cuddles are his absolute thing; he’ll happily plop his head in your lap, and if you let him, he might even try to sit on you for some top-tier sofa snuggle time! Playtime is where he shines, whether he’s messing around by himself or getting his humans involved. If you’ve got big, sturdy toys, even better, because the soft ones don't stand a chance with him. When it comes to treats, Branston will take whatever you’ve got (he’s not picky at all), and he gently accepts them, usually leaving a tiny bit of slobber as a thank you gift. This cuddle bug is on the lookout for his new home.
Is Branston right for you?
Branston is looking for a calm and loving home, with an active family who can take him on lots of exploring, sniffy adventures in quiet walking areas, a family who can give him all the love and attention he deserves. He is looking for an adult only home, with pawrents who will advocate for him when out and about and give him space to rest when needed. Branston likes to relax and enjoy all of his family’s attention to himself, so is looking to be the only pet in the home. He finds being around others dogs very worrying, so would like to take walks in quieter areas, where he can explore and enjoy his walks without distraction. He is a super clever guy and is eager to show off his impressive repertoire of tricks and skills, he already knows “sit”, “paw”, “settle”, “chin rest” to name just a few, he is also fully muzzle trained as he will be going home with a lead and muzzle disclaimer. Branston is looking for his own private, secure garden so he can have some off lead time, playing and pottering at his leisure. Branston can settle nicely alone, so could be left for up to 4 hours, any leaving time should be built up gradually once he has had time to settle into his new home. Branston will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home with potential home visits to make sure he is settling in well so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

How our rehoming process works
- 1
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 you.

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.
