Are you right for Dora?
Dora is a friendly young Springer x Beagle cross who is able to share her home with children of pre-school age, provided they are happy with her being a little bouncy from time to time! Dora would benefit from living with another dog, pending a successful pre-adoption mix, and due to the tendencies of her breed we would not recommend homing her with any other animals. She is coming along very well with her basic training and this should be continued in her new home. A private garden is not necessary for Dora as long as their are some local communal spaces for her to let off some steam, as she's very energetic! She doesn't like being left alone so her adopters should be willing to spend lots of time with her, and she'll be very happy greeting lots of visitors in the home.
Is Dora right for you?
Dora is a sweet and bouncy girl with so much love to give! She has lots of energy and gets very excited in new places, and once she settles she'll have a keen sniff around. Dora can get very eager to meet other dogs, occasionally becoming vocal and wriggly, but greets them nicely and enjoys a good off-lead play! She has been stressed at times when left alone in her kennel, so she'll need some continued support and guidance around this to help her adjust. Dora does very well being handled during grooming and vet checks, seeming comfortable and using the opportunity to receive lots of fuss and cuddles. Dora eats well and loves to play with her treats, although she hasn't shown much interest in toys. She's can get a little spooked around larger vehicles and will often look to her handler for comfort, but generally copes well with traffic.

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.
