Are you right for Scramble?

Meet Scramble, an 8-month old Crossbreed looking for her perfect home. Beautiful Scramble is a very worried girl, who can take a long time to trust people. Only now, after 2 weeks in her kennel, has she began asking for fuss from her handlers. Any potential adopters will need to be aware that she will need patience, time and understanding. Any children would ideally be older secondary school aged. Scramble would be able to live with a resident dog in the home to help her build confidence, however it would need to be a polite, calm dog. Scramble has missed out on a lot of basic skills, so she is still learning how to walk on a lead. She will need a gentle, kind family that are willing to put in some work and help build her confidence in many areas. Scramble benefits from being around her brothers and sisters, so would really like to go home with one of them. She seems interested in other dogs but she is very underconfident, so will need some socialisation moving forward. Scramble is not house-trained, so this will need some work in the new environment. She is incredibly foodie, though, so we think she'll pick up any training very quickly! Scramble is fearful of formal handling, so may need muzzling for the vets as a precaution, however, she is just very worried and may benefit from getting to know her future vet to alleviate any worries. Scramble will need multiple meets to feel comfortable with a potential adopter, so any potential adopters will need to be patient with her and willing to give her time to come around at her own pace. She is interested in toys, and we can't wait to see her flourishing in her forever home, playing with her toys as a confident girl!

Is Scramble right for you?

Scramble is in need of a quiet home, where there isn't too much coming and going at first. She is a very worried girl, and will need time and patience. She is avoidant of new people at first and will take some time to come around, so owners that are willing to take their time would be perfect. Understanding owners will be important, as she will need lots of support with training and also with socialisation. She will be a slow burner, but a very rewarding lady to have join the family. She hasn't been left before, so she would need time left alone built up slowly over time. She is a mix of very intelligent breeds, so we can imagine she'll be such a fun project for someone once she has become the confident lady we know she can be. Once settled, she will need lots of physical and mental stimulation to keep her brain busy! She will be an active girl once she knows that she's safe and secure. She will be high energy, so an active home would be best.

How our rehoming process works

Create an account and fill out our application form

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 …

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 …

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.
