Sebastian is a very cute, one-and-a-half-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who is still finding his feet and discovering the world at his own pace. He is looking for a calm, understanding home that will enjoy building a close bond with him as his confidence grows. Sebastian would be happiest living with young, responsible children aged 10 and over who understand how to give him space and respect his boundaries. When visitors come over, Sebastian is fine as long as introductions are gentle, unhurried and without expectations of lots of hands-on attention straight away. Time alone will need to be introduced gradually, with leaving hours built up slowly to help Sebastian feel secure and settled. He has not had any previous training, so his new family should enjoy helping him learn the basics using positive, reward-based methods and plenty of encouragement. Sebastian can live with another confident, playful dog, who could help show him the ropes and add a bit of fun to his day.

Is Sebastian right for you?

If you are looking for a small dog with little bursts of energy and plenty of charm, meet Sebastian. He enjoys getting out and about, is relaxed when crossing the road and seeing traffic and is always happy to potter along on a sniff-filled walk. Sebastian loves sniffing, spending time with people and will never say no to yummy treats, which will be a great help as you start his training journey. While he is still learning, his eagerness to connect and his love of rewards make him a lovely dog to work with. This very cute lad is looking for someone who wants to build a strong, meaningful bond, taking the time to help him feel safe, understood, and confident. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Sebastian has all the makings of a wonderful companion.

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 …

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.
