Are you right for Jaffa?
Meet gorgeous boy, Jaffa! Jaffa is a 1.8-year old JRT looking for his forever home. Jaffa would like to be the only dog in the home, as he needs a bit of work on his social skills. Jaffa can be vocal towards dogs out and about, so for this reason would prefer quieter areas to walk in where he can chill. Any children in the home should be secondary school aged and over, as he can be bouncy but is super loving and sweet.
Jaffa is looking for an active home that can take him on lots of fun adventures. He loves to get out and use his nose to explore, but can also pull on the lead if something is quite exciting. He is a busy terrier, so will need lots of enrichment to keep his clever brain entertained!
Jaffa is eager to learn, and loves to partake in a training session. He loves his food and playing with his toys, so these will be great aids in any ongoing training you may want to do with Jaffa. We can't wait to see him thriving in his forever home!
Is Jaffa right for you?
Jaffa is a sweet young man, who has bags of energy and would thrive in an active home. Jaffa would love to live somewhere a bit quieter where he can chill without seeing too many dogs, as this can be a bit frustrating for him. Jaffa must have a garden in his new home, where he can burn off all his terrier energy! He struggles with vet handling at times, so may need to be muzzled for more invasive visits.
Jaffa is not housetrained, so will need some support with this in his new home. Jaffa will also need a family that are home for the majority of the day at first, as he will need his leaving hours to be built up slowly while he settles in.
Jaffa will make a wonderful addition to the right 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 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.
