Are you right for Clive?
Clive is on the search for his forever home! He would love a quiet home with adopters who are able to understand his worries over formal handling and who can appreciate extra space. He is looking for adopters who can take him on sniffy walks and help him embrace the quieter life. Clive should be the only dog and pet in the home, but can have walking friends. Clive has had previous incidents and, therefore, would be best suited to live with older teenagers aged 16+ in the home who can understand his body language and when he needs space. He should have minimal visitors to begin with. Clive would like adult-only visitors, and the number of visitors is to be gradually introduced over time. He would like to have minimal leave hours to begin with as he settles into his new space, but with time, his leave time could be built up to 2-4 hours. Clive would absolutely love having his own secure, private garden, where he can enjoy pottering around and having bathroom breaks without needing much handling.
Is Clive right for you?
Clive is a wonderful little gentleman. His age hasn't stopped him at all! He is a lively little man and thrives when toys are involved. He would play with his toys all day if he could. Balls are his absolute favourite! He loves to zoom around off lead sniffing and exploring new things. Clive loves everyone he meets as long as they respect his space, and also enjoys seeing his calmer doggy friends when out and about. He is usually found curled up in his bed surrounded by his favourite toys. Clive would make a great companion!

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.

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.
