Are you right for Katie?

Katie is an adorable thirteen-year-old Terrier cross looking for a retirement home. She could share her home with teenage children as being an older girl she likes a quieter lifestyle. Katie is looking to be the only pet in the home and will enjoy a cuddle up in a fluffy dog bed. Katie will need quiet walking areas as she can be a bit vocal when she sees other dogs but can be distracted with a tasty treat and a change of direction. Katie will also need a home in a quiet peaceful location, as she can be worried by loud noises, which cause her to panic a little bit. Katie is instantly friendly with new people and would welcome all visitors with a wag. She is housetrained and travels well in the car, some would say she is the perfect house guest. Katie will make a lovely companion and anyone lucky enough to adopt her would instantly gain a best friend!

Is Katie right for you?

Katie is a sweet older lady with lots of life. She likes to relax in the sun in her quiet garden. Katie loves to stretch out or curl up on the sofa, she loves her home comforts. She adores you there with her and this is when you see her affectionate side shine. She loves a fuss and to snuggle in close. She enjoys nice, tasty treats and has shown some interest in playing with a ball. She likes an easy-to-do food puzzle toy like a liki mat. She enjoys her walks and is confident to explore the area by sniffing. She has been doing well recently with her doggy social skills, although she has a little bark initially, she has been able to happily walk alongside calm dogs. Katie has spent time in a foster home. Her foster carers say, 'She is a sweet little girl and a pleasure to have in the home.'

How our rehoming process works

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 …

Choose a rehoming centre

We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found …

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 …

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 …

When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

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 …
