Are you right for Angus?

Angus is a friendly, curious 7-month-old Jack Russell/Patterdale Terrier cross looking for a loving home where he can get plenty of attention while he discovers more about the world. He would like to be the only dog at home, but can have doggy friends when out and about. He could live with secondary school-aged children who understand when he needs a bit of space. He also has the potential to live with other pets, pending successful introduction, and provided any interactions are carefully managed. As a young pup, Angus will need lots of snooze time and once he is settled in his new home, his new family will support him by gradually building up the time when he is left on his own. He has been happy being left for around an hour before he settles down for a sleep. Angus is a bright, inquisitive puppy already learning the basics, like sit and paw, and he would thrive with an active family who will love and guide him as he grows.

Is Angus right for you?

Angus is a cuddly chap who loves being close to his people and would much rather be snuggled up on your lap than sit anywhere else! He is still finding his feet in the world, so he'll need patience, encouragement and plenty of fun along the way. He's got lots to learn, but he is already making a good start and he loves a game of chase with his big, soft toys. If you've got the time to help a young dog learn, grow in confidence and enjoy all the fun of puppyhood, Angus will be very happy to share his cuddles and playtime with you.

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.

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 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...

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.

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.
