Are you right for Hugo?

Hugo is a 10-month-old Jack Russell Terrier cross Toy Poodle, also known as a Jackapoo. He is a sweet young lad who is looking for a quiet, understanding home where he can continue to build his confidence. Hugo would need to be the only dog in the home and cannot live with cats or small furries. We don't have any history of him around livestock. He is looking for an adult-only home with minimal visitors, as he can be worried by new people and finds the world around him a little overwhelming at times. A quiet home and access to peaceful walking areas would be ideal for Hugo. He can find heavily populated areas and loud traffic worrying, so his new family will need to be patient and help him gradually build his confidence at his own pace. Hugo can be left for up to four hours once settled into his new home.

Is Hugo right for you?

Hugo is a sweet and affectionate chap who has lots of love to give to the people he knows and trusts. He enjoys nothing more than a cuddle, sitting on his humans' laps for a tummy tickle, or curling up for a nap on a soft bed or chair. Hugo walks beautifully on the lead and enjoys exploring quieter areas, particularly walks through fields. He will need continued support with his confidence and socialisation around other dogs, as he is anxious around them. When it comes to playtime, Hugo loves his honking duck toy and enjoys a good game of tug of war! He is also very fond of his treats, with cheese being a particular favourite. Hugo is good when being groomed and already knows some basic commands, including sit and stay. Hugo is looking for patient and understanding owners who can provide him with the calm, quiet environment he needs while helping him grow in confidence. In return, he'll be a loving and affectionate companion who will bring plenty of cuddles, fun and personality to his new home.

How our rehoming process works

  1. 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. 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...

    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 a match.

  3. 3

    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. 

  4. 4

    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...

    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 calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

    When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

    If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.
