Are you right for Wiley?
Wiley is a gorgeous eight-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier looking for a loving home. He could share his home with upper secondary school aged children. He is looking to be the only dog in the home, and he will need a home without cats, small furries, and chickens. He could cope with reasonably busy household. He is friendly and excited when visitors come to the home. Even though Wiley adores the company is happy to be left alone for a few hours at a time. He is housetrained and happy to travel on the backseats of the car with someone next to him or in the boot in a crate. Wiley really is a man of routine! He thrives when he knows what to expect. He likes to go on the same walks at the same times. His quirk is that when he has finished his meals, he likes to go for a little walk. Wiley may take a few days to settle into a new home and routine, but once he does, he is pretty chill and loves his home comforts, settling on the sofa or snoozing in his bed.
Is Wiley right for you?
Wiley is affectionate and enjoys a fuss, snuggles, and belly rubs with the people he is closest too. He builds strong bonds and be prepared for him to be your shadow. Ball play is the way to his heart. Ball is life! He enjoys running around with a ball and will often play by himself in your company. You can get a game of fetch going by having two balls and then he can drop one ball for another ball to be thrown. He is bouncy and boisterous in play, and he knows how to have a good time. He is best with robust and durable toys. He would suit quieter walks where dogs are unlikely to be running around off their leads. He is happy to ignore other dogs, he just dislikes dogs running up to him. He has learnt to wear a muzzle, so you can have that peace of mind. He plods along gently on his lead and his favourite walks are in woodlands or fields and when it is warm, he likes to take a dip in water. Wiley loves his food and treats and enjoys a kong or chew. He knows a sit and is practicing his wait.

How our rehoming process works

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.

Show detailsIf 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.
