Are you right for Tetley?
Underdog Tetley is a clever affectionate boy that will do anything for a snack. Tetley lost his leg when he was only a puppy, and he was also born deaf. He has been a superstar at adapting to life differently to most other dogs, and he still lives his life to the max. Once Tetley knows you, he loves sitting on the sofa and having a cuddle, but it can take some time for him to trust you. Tetley is a sensitive boy and is worried by strangers (particularly children) approaching him, he can get startled easily with this due to him being deaf and so he will need to be kept on lead and muzzled in public. He will also require his own private secure garden to mooch about in and would like to live with no other pets or children. Tetley will need potential adopters to come to the centre to meet him multiple times and the Training and Behaviour team will be on hand to support you through the adoption process from start to finish. Once you get to know him, you just cannot help but fall in love with the cheeky, silly, special boy that is Mr Tetley Tea.
Is Tetley right for you?
Tetley enjoys calm walks with his doggy friends if they respect his personal space. He is happy to go on adventures in the car and explore new places – bonus points if there's a lovely patch of grass for him to roll in! Tetley loves playing tug and chasing tennis balls even if he does sometimes take a tumble with his missing leg. Although Tetley is deaf, he doesn't let this hold him back and he enjoys learning new hand signals for his training. Tetley is a very cheeky boy who quickly learns how to maximise the number of snacks he can get from you. He loves relaxing with his people but is also a very good boy at relaxing on his own and was previously left home alone for up to four hours with no concerns. Tetley is a sweet, playful boy who is just looking for a calm, patient, and understanding home.

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 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.

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.
