Are you right for BellaBoo?

BellaBoo is a truly special girl with so much love to give 💛 She absolutely adores people and would thrive in a home where she can be part of the family and enjoy lots of company. Bella isn’t used to being left on her own just yet, so she’ll need a family who are around most of the time to help her settle and feel safe. She’s a happy, bouncy girl who can get a little overexcited at times, but it’s all part of her charm! With some gentle guidance and ongoing training, she’ll continue to blossom. Bella could live with children aged 12+ who are comfortable around a lively, affectionate dog. Out and about, Bella enjoys meeting other dogs and has been mixing well, although she can be a bit strong on the lead when she’s excited. With regular walking friends and continued socialisation, she’s sure to shine. She loves being active – think fun runs, exploring new places, and plenty of sniffy adventures! Bella can sometimes feel unsure in new environments, so she’ll need a patient, understanding family who can help build her confidence at her own pace, celebrating all those little wins along the way.

Is BellaBoo right for you?

If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will greet you like you’re the best thing in the world every single day, BellaBoo might just steal your heart 💕She is instantly friendly and loves meeting new people – saying hello is definitely one of her favourite hobbies! Once she knows you, she becomes a total cuddle monster who adores fuss, attention, and being close to her humans. Bella will bring warmth, laughter, and plenty of happy energy into her new home. With kindness, patience, and a little bit of guidance, she’ll grow into a wonderfully confident and devoted best friend.

How our rehoming process works

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    Choose a rehoming centre

    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 you...

  3. 3

    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. 

  4. 4

    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 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 calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

    When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

    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...

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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. With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care Card and...
