Are you right for Ruby?

Meet Ruby, a sweet 10-year-old Jack Russell cross Pug, looking for a loving home where she can enjoy gentle adventures followed by plenty of cosy naps. Ruby would suit a family who enjoy getting out and about for short walks, but who also appreciate a relaxed pace at home. She can live with younger children and may be able to share her home with another calm, well-matched dog. Ruby loves being part of the family and spending time with her people, but she is also happy to be left for around 4–5 hours once settled. She doesn’t need a garden, as long as she has regular opportunities to go out for toilet breaks and enjoys her daily strolls.

Is Ruby right for you?

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who enjoys a balance of little outings and long snoozes, Ruby could be the perfect match. She’s a lovely older girl who thrives on being included in family life and will happily settle down after a day of exploring. With her sweet nature and love for the simple things in life, Ruby would bring warmth and companionship to a caring and welcoming home.

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.
2
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 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.

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...

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 Card and...
