Are you right for Stella?
Stella is a gorgeous 4 year old Staffie searching for her paw-fect forever home. She previously lived in a home for some time and has recently returned to our care. Stella would love to be the only pet in the household, where she can soak up all the attention she truly deserves.
Affectionate and loving with her favourite people, Stella would thrive in a calm home with children aged 16+ who can understand her occasional worries. Although she may appear confident, she sometimes needs a little reassurance. Meeting other dogs can feel overwhelming for her, and she prefers having her own space. She’s currently learning to wear a muzzle on her walks, discovering that it leads to tasty treats and exciting adventures.
Stella would enjoy access to quieter walking areas where she can relax, explore nature, and follow all the interesting smells. She’ll also need a secure garden of her own where she can bask in the sunshine, enjoy zoomies and play to her heart’s content.
Stella is a sweet girl who adores home comforts and spending time with her favourite people. She can find being left alone stressful, so she’s hoping for adopters who are home most of the time. She loves her cosy beds and would prefer them to be placed in a quiet, low-traffic area where she can settle in for a peaceful snooze.
Is Stella right for you?
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will fill your home with love, Stella might be the perfect match. With patience and understanding she’ll blossom into the most devoted friend you could ask for. Stella does have some ongoing medical needs that her new family will need to consider going forward, our team here at the centre would be happy to discuss her needs with any potential adopters. If Stella sounds like the girl for you, we’d love to hear from you! She can’t wait to meet her forever family and start the next chapter of her life.

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.

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.

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.
