Are you right for Ronnie?

Ronnie is looking for a quiet, low-occupancy, ADULT home. He will need to be the only pet, and he is house trained and can be left alone for a couple of hours. Ron has shown us he has sore feet in the past and he's a lot happier on some pain relief which will be ongoing.

Is Ronnie right for you?

Ronnie is a happy lad who likes to get his Spaniel nose to the floor and sniff everything. He’s a lot of fun when he’s in the mood to play and he loves to throw his soft toys around. Ronnie also loves to learn, and trainer Danni has even taught him to go to his bed at the sound of the doorbell. He is a little worried by strangers but with proper introductions and allowing him time, he quickly warms up to people and has settled well into the centre. Ronnie never used to be a fan of being groomed but he’s begun to accept it as part of his day-to-day routine. He has been returned to us for showing aggression when people step over his bed, so it's imperative that his new family make sure his bed is not somewhere that needs to be stepped over! Ronnie will happily walk with other dogs but does not appreciate them being too close and he will make his feelings clear. He will need to be the only pet at home. He takes his treats very nicely from us, but his previous family did tell us that he will beg persistently if you are eating, so best to eat in a different room from him and allow him space when he's eating his own food. His adopters will need to be committed to ongoing training with him and full support will be given by the team at the centre.

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 …

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 …

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.

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.
