Are you right for Foxy?
Four-year-old Foxy is a Terrier cross Chihuahua looking for a loving home with a quiet environment. He could share his home with upper secondary school aged children, and he is looking to be the only dog in the home. Foxy will need a home without cats or small furries, and he has no history around livestock. Foxy is friendly but shy around visitors to the home and he is housetrained. He gets car-sick so is ideally looking for walks close to the home, and his walking routes will need to be away from busy roads as he is worried by traffic. Non-built-up areas are where Foxy thrives, as he is startled by sudden load noises and he feels safe when avoiding the hustle and bustle.
Is Foxy right for you?
Foxy is a sweet-natured and snuggly little dog who loves a bum-scratch! Although he can be a little nervous when he first meets new people, he is affectionate and enjoys a fuss and sitting on your lap once he has built a bond. He loves to play with squeaky toys and soft toys. He hasn’t quite got the hang of fetch, and he may prefer to swap one toy for another to be thrown. He likes meaty, tasty treats, and he may show you his sit and paw. Foxy enjoys walkies through fields, beaches, and the countryside park. Foxy is picky with his doggy pals, he doesn’t mind walking alongside calm small dogs, and he dislikes dogs running up to his face. After his exercise, Foxy loves to chill-out and relax in his cosy bed in the home.

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.
