Are you right for Max?
Max is hoping to find a calm home where he can spend lots of time with his favourite people and enjoy mini adventures. He would prefer to be the only dog in the home although he is happy to say hello to canine friends out and about he isn't too bothered about interacting. He can live with children upper primary school aged and small furries if separate but no cats.
His dream family will have minimal leaving hours with a view to build up slowly as he can be worried when left on his own. In foster he has managed up to two hours once he was settled but we don't think he would ever be comfortable being left for long periods. Ideally adopters will have the ability to separate him from the front door when delivery drivers or visitors knock on but if he is given space he warms up very quickly to new people in the home.
Max does prefer to sleep in the bedroom if possible although he will settle downstairs if needed. He likes to be as close as he can be to his people.
Is Max right for you?
Our handsome boy Max is a 9 year old Cockerpoo who is super sweet and laid back once he's settled into the home. He can be a little nervous initially meeting new people but it only takes him few minutes (and a few treats!) for him to become your friend. He's very affectionate with people he knows and loves to cuddle up on the sofa for a snuggle.
He's a dream in the home and will happily snooze by your feet or sunbathe in the garden whilst you're working from home. He loves his walks especially if there's lots of nice things for him to smell and he walks very well on the lead. In his older age he does have the start of arthritis and so a couple of 30 minute walks a day are plenty for him and he is on a long-term anti-inflammatory medication for this.
He loves his food and enrichment and is great in the car for adventures further afield. He is currently in one of our wonderful foster homes.

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.
