Meet Arlo, he's a super smart 10 month old Spaniel cross! He's on the search for a forever home that can keep him both mentally and physically stimulated. Arlo has been in a home previously where he was housetrained and has been used to spending a few hours home alone, however this was in a crate which he has been comfortable with. His favourite things including sniffing out treats and getting his clever nose involved in some fun enrichment like scent or searchwork, snuffle mats and dig boxes. Arlo can feel conflicted around some things including intense handling such as veterinary visits or having equipment such as his harness put on. For this reason he'll need patient adopters who can take a hands off approach and help him feel more confident in these areas. He isn't a fan of sharing his favourite things and is learning "swaps" and "drops", for this reason Arlo would like an adult only home with adopters who can commit to visiting him here at the centre a few times to build a relationship and get involved with all his ongoing training. We're currently still assessing his interactions with other dogs so he'll need to be the only pet in his new home for now.

Is Arlo right for you?

Arlo is a real live wire and a resident clever clogs. He loves zooming around the runs following his nose and getting into lots of spaniel mischief! It's important that his new family are able to commit to both his mental and physical needs to keep him happy. Arlo must have his own safe and secure garden where he can explore and play.

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 …

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.
