Are you right for Typhus?
Typhus is a seven-year-old Shar Pei looking for a loving home with adopters who will give him the patience and time he needs to settle in and find his paws in his new home. He could share his home with secondary school aged children. He is looking to be the only dog and home without cats or small furries. Care may be needed around livestock. Typhus is housetrained and he is happy to travel in the boot of the car. He has history of being okay when alone at home for a few hours at a time; it is best to build this up gradually in a new environment. He is fine with visitors to the home and could cope with a quiet or reasonably busy household. Typhus is used to rural and quiet walkies and would love a home where he can continue with these types of walks. He becomes overwhelmed in towns, and public places would need time and gradual exposure.
Is Typhus right for you?
Typhus is the biggest softie. He is an independent lad and when you meet him for the first time, he may come across as a bit aloof. Give Typhus a few minutes to sniff the environment he is in and then when he is ready, he will trot on over to get to know you. He will have a gentle fuss under his chin and on his chest. His real affectionate side is reserved for the people he trusts. With his people he adores a fuss and attention. Typhus loves to have a good sniff and explore on the moors or plod about in an enclosed field. He would benefit from having friendly, calm dogs as walking buddies, he hasn’t met many dogs when out and about previously so would benefit from building up his ‘friends list’ gradually. His favourite toys are rope toys and he’ll have a game of tuggy with you and chase games. Typhus enjoys his food and treats, he has a food allergy, but he is good with beef and beef treats, he knows a sit, wait, paw, spin, leave, and down.
How our rehoming process works

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.
