Are you right for Pippin?
Pippin is a lovely 5-year-old cockapoo, who is full of energy and absolutely loves everyone. She gets on well with everyone she meets, a real social butterfly. She can live with children age 7+, but can get jumpy and bouncy when playing, so a child who is confident around dogs is essential. Pippin can live with another dog in the home depending on a successful meet in the centre. She can bark at dogs from a distance and can get a bit worried if a dog approaches intensely or if they’re too much, but it doesn’t take long for her to gain her confidence around them. She lived with an older dog in her previous home and had no problems. Pippin absolutely loves her toys; she will happily go off and keep herself occupied with her toys. However, she can become quite obsessed with tennis balls, so just keep that in mind if you have them in the house as she will constantly roll them towards you to throw them if you have them around her, which will get tiring for both you and Pippin. Pippin is an energetic girl, who like a typical cockapoo can be a bit crazy at times, but she does settle well in the home, and she really is the cuddliest girl who loves attention and will curl up next to you on the sofa in the evening.
Is Pippin right for you?
Pippin can be left for a few hours, but this would need to be built up slowly and only once she is comfortable in her new home. She is fully toilet trained, travels well in the car and is good as gold seeing the vet. Pippin would really suit a busier home, with a family who can take her on lovely adventures, go out about exploring and let her zoom around with her toys. She honestly is the sweetest girl, who just needs a loving family to call her own.

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 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.

Show detailsIf 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.
