Are you right for Bailey?

Bailey is a nearly 5 year old Patterdale Terrier looking for her forever home. She can be a little shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she's a loving girl who enjoys cuddles on the sofa and being close to her people. Bailey loves exploring on walks, running around secure fields with her doggy friends, and playing with her toys. She'd love a home with a friendly resident dog to help build her confidence and keep her company. Bailey could live with sensible primary and secondary school aged children and would be happiest with owners who are around for most of the day. She's also a great traveller and enjoys adventures in the car. She can occasionally bark at other dogs out and about, she is friendly, but would love the opportunity to walk with doggy friends now and then.

Is Bailey right for you?

Bailey is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy plenty of company, adventures, and cuddles. Although she has previously been left for long periods with another dog, she'd much prefer to be left for no more than around 4 hours at a time. She is toilet trained, but when she's very excited, she may have a little accident. Bailey would love a home that understands the fun loving nature of Patterdale Terriers. She adores toys, although soft toys don't usually last very long with her! Keeping up her dog socialisation will also be important, as she enjoys meeting other dogs and loves running and playing off lead in a secure field. An owner with some knowledge of the breed would be a bonus, but most of all, Bailey is looking for someone who'll embrace her playful personality and give her the love and enrichment she deserves.

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.

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.
