Are you right for Arlo?
Arlo is looking for an understanding family who will enjoy continuing his training and helping him learn how to manage his excitement. Arlo loves meeting new people and may jump up, gently mouth or become over-aroused, so his new family will need to be patient and consistent and help him learn calmer ways to interact. Arlo would benefit from someone who can give him plenty of positive experiences and gradually expose him to new situations at his own pace. His arousal levels may need managing from time to time, and food can be a useful tool to help him focus and settle. Arlo has had limited experience with other dogs, so his new family will need to follow careful introductions and continue working on his dog-to-dog skills. He also has a strong prey drive, so he would be best suited to a home without small animals. Due to his bouncy and excitable nature, Arlo would be best suited to a home with secondary school aged children.
Is Arlo right for you?
Arlo is a sweet, affectionate and friendly boy who loves attention, head scratches and cuddling up on the sofa with his people. Arlo is sensitive to loud noises such as fireworks, thunder, shouting and raised voices, so a quieter home where he can feel safe and have somewhere peaceful to retreat to would suit him well. He isn't a fan of baths or water, although he does enjoy swimming in the sea and rivers! Arlo has previously been comfortable being left with access to the downstairs of his home and garden and has travelled well in the car, including journeys as far as Scotland. If you're looking for a loving, lively companion and are ready to continue helping Arlo develop his manners and confidence, he could be the fun-loving boy for you!

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.
