Are you right for Rolo?
Meet our handsome boy, Rolo! Rolo is a 5-year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier looking for his forever home. He is an utter sweetheart, loving everyone he meets! He loves a fuss and will jump up for a cuddle, so is looking for all children in the home to be 11yrs+ and comfortable around dogs that jump up. Rolo is unable to live with other dogs as he doesn't enjoy them being in his face, but can have polite sniffs with quiet, calm dogs. Rolo would be looking for a family that are around for most of the day, as he isn't used to being left on his own. Once settled, he will need someone willing to build up his time alone nice and slowly.
Rolo is good on the lead, but can pull when something is very exciting and enjoys exploring new places where he can get his sniffs in! He wears a harness and is great with all sorts of handling - veterinary included! He travels well in the car, so would make a wonderful adventure buddy. He is also house-trained, which is a bonus.
Is Rolo right for you?
Rolo is looking for a quieter home where he can have a snooze in his soft bed during the evening, but have fun-filled walks during the day where he can get his nose to the ground. He is a super dog, with a lot of love to give. Rolo would like to be cuddled up on the sofa with a blanket and his people, but also enjoys playing with his tuggy toys and snuggling up with a teddy. He is lookin for an understanding home that are willing to work on building up his time alone slowly, and making sure he feels happy and secure in his new home. We can't wait to see him thrive.

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.

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.
