Are you right for Kimona?

Kimona is a lovely 4-year-old Springer Spaniel cross Beagle with a gentle, easy-going nature that makes her a real pleasure to share a home with. She is calm and relaxed, and her foster carers say there is nothing she loves more than a good walk with plenty to sniff, followed by a belly rub and a nap back at home. She is affectionate with her people and always gives them a happy welcome when they come back through the door. Out on walks Kimona is in her element. With both Springer and Beagle in her, her nose is never far from the ground, and grassy fields, riverside paths and anywhere with new smells to explore are her idea of heaven. She is relaxed around traffic, passes people and other dogs politely, and enjoys a friendly hello with a dog when they meet. Scent games are a great way to keep her busy and content. At home Kimona is a quiet, settled girl who loves to curl up in her bed or on the sofa close to her people. She has been settling nicely when her foster carers pop out, and would be happiest in a home where someone is around for most of the day, with short spells on her own built up gradually. Kimona has lived with cats before, so she could share her home with a feline friend after a proper introduction. She would be just as happy as the only dog or living with a calm canine companion. Kimona would suit a family with older primary school aged children and up. She is a bright girl who will thrive with owners who understand what her breeds need and will enjoy keeping her busy in both body and mind, from long sniffy walks to scentwork and games that get her nose working. Experience with spaniels or scent hounds would be ideal, though a first-time owner who has done their research and is keen to put the time in would suit her too. Could Kimona be the walking companion you have been looking for? AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.

How our rehoming process works

1
Create an account and fill out our application form
If you’re ready to adopt, please complete our form to tell us all about your home, lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but 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.

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match
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.
