Are you right for Cleo?

Super sweet and soppy girl Cleo is a 6 year old Rottweiler who loves her food! She will do anything for a treat, if you are cooking with carrots, she will expect some carrot nibbles too as they are her favourite. Snuggle time is the best, she loves to cuddle up with you for fusses, if you stop she will try to climb into your lap for more, not realising she is a little too big to be a lap dog. This pawsome pooch is looking for her new family.

Is Cleo right for you?

Cleo is looking for a home with loving and active adopters who can take her on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help her settle in and give her all the love and attention she deserves. She is a friendly bean who could live with any aged children who will play with her nicely and will give her space to rest when needed. Cleo could live with another calm dog who will happily co-exist and engage in occasional play, this will be pending successful meets at the centre; although living with another dog is not a necessity, she would be happy with polite and friendly walking buddies. Cleo is a clever girl and already has some training under her belt, she does a lovely “sit”, “down” and “stay”, she is eager to engage in training in short, sweet sessions as long as a tasty treat is on offer. She would like a home with a private, secure garden for her to potter about in at her leisure, although this is not a necessity as long as she can be taken out on regular walks. Cleo can settle nicely in the home, so could be left for up to 4 hours, leaving time would need to be built up slowly once she has had time to settle into her new home. Cleo is currently undergoing treatment so will going home on a foster to adopt basis, she will need to meet her adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear all of 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 up to the centre to meet her within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

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 …

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.
