Are you right for Daniel?

Sweet and gentle boy Daniel is a 5 year old Spaniel who is still learning about the world. He loves to keep himself busy and is very scent driven, he spends a lot of his time sniffing and exploring his surroundings. His favourite time of day is playtime, he will play a game of fetch all day if you let him, although he is happy to play alone too, He does like to carry a toy around in his mouth like a security blanket when he is a little worried. This wonderful boy is ready to find his new home.

Is Daniel right for you?

Daniel is looking for a calm and quiet home with loving and active adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help him settle in and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He can be worried by meeting new people and lots of handling so is looking for a home with older secondary school children who can be calm around him, who can play with him nicely and will give him space to rest and relax when needed. Daniel could live with another calm and friendly dog who will happily co-exist and engage in occasional play, a dog that will teach him the ropes and help him build his confidence, this will be pending successful meetings at the centre. Although this is not a necessity, he would be happy with friendly and playful walking buddies. He would also love to have polite and friendly walking buddies. Daniel has a little training under his belt, he can be enticed to engage in training in short sweet sessions if a tasty treat is on offer and as long as he is feeling safe and secure, he is currently doing training around car travel as he can be worried by the car. He would like a home with a private, secure garden for him to potter about in at his leisure. Daniel can be worried being left so is looking for someone home the majority of the time, or someone who can take them with him when they have to leave the house. Daniel will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home with the potential for home visits to check that he is settling in ok, so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet her within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

How our rehoming process works

    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. With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care Card and...
