Are you right for Poppy?
Poppy is a fun-loving 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier with a big personality packed into a little body. She loves playing with her toys, exploring on walks and curling up under the covers for a cuddle at the end of the day. She settled into foster care quickly and has shown herself to be an affectionate, playful companion who enjoys being close to her people. Poppy is house-trained, travels well in the car and can be left for short periods once settled. She'll need ongoing positive support with handling and vet visits, but in return you'll gain a loyal little best friend who'll happily join you on all of life's adventures.
Is Poppy right for you?
Poppy is looking for a loving home with adopters who can continue building her confidence through reward-based training. She could live with children aged 8 years and over who understand how to interact respectfully with dogs. She may be able to live with another dog following successful introductions but cannot live with cats or small furry pets. A private garden would be beneficial, and any leaving time should be built up gradually, although she has settled well when left for a couple of hours in foster.

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 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.

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.
