Ivan

I'm looking for my forever home. Could you be my perfect match?

Apply to adopt

Are you right for Ivan?

Meet Ivan, an 8-month-old Husky with movie-star looks, endless charm and a talent for turning ordinary days into memorable ones. He's at that wonderful age where everything is exciting, everyone is a potential friend, and life is one big adventure waiting to happen. Ivan is looking for a home that can keep up with his busy young mind and active lifestyle. He could live with another friendly dog or happily soak up all the attention as the only dog in the home. He can live with sensible secondary school-aged children and will initially need adopters who are around for most of the time.

Is Ivan right for you?

What makes Ivan so special is his wonderfully cheeky nature. He's the kind of dog who keeps you guessing, keeps you laughing, and somehow manages to melt hearts wherever he goes. He's playful, affectionate, and full of character, with a mischievous streak that only adds to his appeal. One minute he's showing off a trick he's mastered; the next, he's making everyone smile with his goofy antics. Ivan is still very much a youngster, with lots left to learn, but that's all part of the fun. For the right family, he'll be a brilliant companion to grow and learn alongside. If you're looking for a dog who will fill your home with laughter, adventure, and plenty of Husky charm, Ivan is ready to meet you.

How our rehoming process works

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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 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 you a match.

  3. 3

    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. 

  4. 4

    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 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 calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

    When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

    If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.
