Are you right for Rousey?

Rousey is looking for a patient, quiet home where he can adjust at his own pace and continue to grow in confidence. He would like access to a private, secure garden as he won't cope with going for walks until he is more confident. Rousey would benefit from a home with an existing dog to show him the ropes and help him navigate his transition into the home. As he has done so previously, Rousey could potentially share his home with cats after careful integration and could live with small pets if kept seperate. Any children in the home should be from upper secondary ages, being calm and mindful of his nervous nature. Rousey would like for someone to around most of the time to begin with, guiding him as he settles in. Please note that it will take some time to build a relationship with Rousey so he will require multiple meets quite consecutively, so adopters that have the flexibility and availability to do appointments within quick succession would be needed to give Rousey the best chance of being ready to go home.

Is Rousey right for you?

Rousey is our 3 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed looking for a very special family to build a home with. Rousey is a gentle and shy soul, not experiencing very much in his life before coming into our care and is therefore looking for a home that can gradually build his confidence with the big wide world. Rousey loves his toys, especially squeaky ones and his personality has shines when he is playing with other dogs! He has slowly built relationships with his handlers here at the centre, learning to trust them and warming up overtime. So adopters that don't mind taking his rehoming process at his pace would be wonderful for him.

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.
