Are you right for Pippa?

Meet gorgeous girl, Pippa! Pippa is a 8.5-year old Staffy X looking for her forever home! Pippa is a sweet girl, who loves a fuss and absolutely hates being on her own. She is looking for a home where people will be around for most of the day so she can settle in at her own pace. Pippa may be able to live with another calm dog, pending a successful meet in the centre and has lived with a cat previously as well. Pippa would like for all children in the home to be of older primary school age and above, as she can jump up and get excitable when meeting new people! She loves her food, and enjoys playing with her toys. Pippa can be a bit spooked by loud noises and quick movements, so would prefer a quieter home where she can build her confidence. Pippa loves getting out for her sniffy walks, but can pull a bit on lead so will need owners that are happy to work on this. She is still active, despite her age, and loves having a run around off-lead in our enclosed fields! She travels well in the car, and would make a wonderful adventure buddy. We can't wait to see her enjoying her home comforts again!

Is Pippa right for you?

Pippa is a sweet girl with a heart of gold, who is looking for a home where she will have company for most of the day. She is mostly house-trained and is very affectionate with her people. Pippa does have a bit of itchy skin, so is currently on a course of steroids to help with this. This is likely something that will need monitoring long term, but she is brilliant for her medicated baths! Pippa is great for her handling, but can be a bit barky if she wants attention and isn't receiving it! She is a clever girl, who enjoys tricky enrichment that can help work her brain. She is really sad in kennels, so we are excited for her to find her forever home!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
