Are you right for Rocco?

Goofy and independent boy Rocco is a 7 and a half year old Husky cross Malamute who can either be the most playful boy or a little on the aloof side. He is a happy fun dog to be around, but does also like his own space at times. He is super playful and loves zooming around after toys, or playing chase with his favourite humans. He likes a fuss on his terms, he will wander over for fusses and then will head off exploring sniffing when he is done. This top lad is ready to find his new home.

Is Rocco right for you?

Rocco is looking for a home with loving and active adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help him settle in and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He is a polite boy, but does like his space, so he could live with secondary school children who will play nicely with him and give him space to rest when he needs. Rocco could live with another playful and friendly dog, who knows when it is time to take a break, this will be pending successful meets at the centre. Living with another dog is not a necessity, he would be happy with friendly and playful walking buddies. He has some training under his belt, he does a lovely “sit” and “paw”, but chooses when he wants to do so, when he is the mood for it, he enjoys learning and will engage in training for a tasty treat. He would like a home with a private or communal garden to have a potter around and play in. Rocco could be left alone for up to 4 hours, this would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Rocco will need to meet his adopters a few times prior to going home 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 up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

How our rehoming process works

Create an account and fill out our application form

Choose a rehoming centre

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 …

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.
