Are you right for Lola?
Lola is a gorgeous 7 year-old Border/Bedlington Terrier cross. Through no fault of her own, she is looking for a loving home where she can be the only dog. She can happily have doggy friends when out and about, but she would prefer not to share her home with another dog.
Lola can live with children of primary school age and would suit a family who can give her plenty of love, patience and encouragement as she settles in.
She can be a little unsure when meeting new people, but it doesn't take her long to warm up and come over to say hello. When faced with a new environment, she may be a little wary at first, but her curious side soon takes over and she will want to have a sniff and investigate.
Lola is also very good when it comes to getting ready for walks and is happy to have her harness and lead put on.
Is Lola right for you?
Lola is a friendly and lovely-natured girl who enjoys a fuss once she has got to know you.
She does like to take a few minutes to think things through ... then she quickly comes around and enjoys getting to know people. Her curiosity is one of her best qualities — even if something seems a little scary at first, she soon decides she needs to go and have a closer look!
Lola can have doggy friends when she is out and about, and she will enjoy having plenty of opportunities to explore and meet the world.
She is currently living at home until a suitable new home is found, so if you're looking for a sweet, curious girl who enjoys a fuss and just needs a little time to get to know you, get in touch.

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.

Show detailsIf 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.
