Are you right for Benny?
Looking for a loyal companion with plenty of character? Benny is a 10-year-old Cocker Spaniel who’s ready to find a calm, adult-only home where he can feel safe, secure, and truly loved. He’ll need a few meet-and-greets before you see the playful, affectionate, full-of-personality dog we know, but he’s well worth the effort. Benny would thrive with adopters who have a little experience with dog behaviour—or simply a willingness to learn alongside us. Our friendly training team will be there to guide and support you both every step of the way. He enjoys his own space and can be left alone for up to three hours to begin with, making him perfect for patient adopters who are happy to go at his pace.
Is Benny right for you?
Benny is a funny, loyal little guy who loves carrying his favourite toy around like a treasure! He’s looking for a calm, predictable, adult-only home where he can settle into a good routine and continue building his confidence and training. He enjoys walks in quiet, calm places, sniffing out all the interesting spots, and curling up for a snooze after a busy day. Benny is a wonderful dog with huge potential—he thrives with patient guidance and lots of reassurance. Add this superstar to your favourites if you’re looking for a loyal companion full of personality, laughter, and cuddles.

How our rehoming process works
- 1
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.

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.
