Are you right for Stevie?

Beautiful Stevie is an 8 month old Husky who is on the search for a forever home. This lovely girlie is full of fun, love and life and is ready to be someone's new best friend. Stevie is a friendly girl, who loves meeting everyone when she's out and about on her walkies. Due to her friendly nature she could share her new home with any age children following a meeting here at the centre. Stevie is a social butterfly and loves making doggy pals too, so could share her home with another playful dog and is currently living with a cat which is she could do again following gradual introductions. Stevie has been left for short periods and has been used to being crated, so we recommend this is gradually built up as she settles into her new home. She's also been mostly housetrained, but as she's still a youngster so will need continued support in this area.

Is Stevie right for you?

Stevie really is a super sweet girl, but is still a youngster so will need gentle guidance and continued training as she settles into home life. This will include things such as loose lead walking, basic obedience and recall training. We think she'd probably love access to a hired secure field where she can zoom and run around. This dog is being rehomed through our Homestay scheme, staying with their current owner until a new home is found. At the point of adoption, ownership briefly transfers to Dogs Trust and then to the new family. Homestay helps avoid the stress of kennels and allows the dog to remain settled at home. In rare cases, the current owner may withdraw. While we work hard to reduce this risk, it can happen. If it does, Dogs Trust will support potential adopters by prioritising them for another suitable dog.

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.

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match
If we don’t have a dog for you right now, we’ll keep your application open for three months and keep you in mind for any new dogs that arrive. If within this time you see another dog you are interested in, you won't need to apply again but you can amend your application by...

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.
