Are you right for Heidi?

Heidi is a sweet, gentle older girl who would love a calm, quiet to moderately busy home with a predictable routine and plenty of time to rest. She’ll be happiest in a settled home with minimal steps, a cosy place to relax, garden access, and adopters who are around most of the day or can keep leaving times short once she’s settled. She could live with dog‑savvy primary‑age children who respect her space and handle her gently. Heidi has some ongoing medical needs, including pain relief for mobility. Her care and potential costs will be discussed with shortlisted applicants—please don’t hesitate to apply if this is a concern. Heidi can live as an only dog or with a calm, respectful canine companion and may also be suitable for a home with cats. On walks, she is polite around other dogs and prefers to keep to herself.

Is Heidi right for you?

Heidi is a nine‑year‑old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cross Bichon Frise looking for a relaxed retirement home where she can enjoy life at her own pace. Heidi came into our care as her previous owner was no longer able to meet her needs. She has experience living in a home environment and has settled well into foster care, showing herself to be a gentle and affectionate companion once she feels safe. She is a sweet, sensitive girl who forms strong bonds once she feels secure. She enjoys short, sniffy walks and then relaxing close to her people. Heidi is not demanding for attention but appreciates gentle fuss, calm companionship, and a predictable home where she can truly settle and feel safe. She is housetrained and clean in the home, happily holding on until she is let outside. Once settled, Heidi could be left for short periods, up to around 3–4 hours. She settles well when left and has shown no signs of distress or destructive behaviour. Heidi travels well in the car. She is calm, quiet, and will lie down for the journey, making her a good companion for local trips and vet visits. Heidi is currently living in a foster home, where she has enjoyed home comforts such as relaxing on the sofa, pottering in the garden, and following a steady routine.

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.
