Are you right for Petal?
Petal is a cute 2-year-old Staffie Cross who is ready to find a home where she can enjoy all the lovely things life has to offer! She is a super-friendly girl and can live with older primary school aged children. Petal loves having doggy friends out and about, but she will need to be the only dog in the home where she can get all the attention! We don't have any history of Petal around other animals, so she would be best suited to a home without them for now.
Petal has a good understanding of the basics and is now learning to 'drop' and 'swap' her toys. She'll benefit from a family who can keep her training positive, fun and rewarding — especially as she loves her treats! We don't have any history of Petal being left alone, so she'll need time to settle into her new home before being gradually introduced to spending time by herself. She's a friendly girl who can have regular visitors, so there's no need to miss out on having friends and family over. If you're looking for a lovely companion to share adventures, cuddles and plenty of happy moments, Petal could be the girl for you!
Is Petal right for you?
Petal is a curious little adventurer who loves taking in all the interesting smells around her and one of her absolute favourite places is the tunnels in the compound — you'll often find her happily making her way through them! She's just as happy enjoying a bit of independent time as she is coming over to her favourite people for a cuddle.
Petal will enjoy a family who can help her continue developing her skills with patience and positivity and would suit someone loves her inquisitive, independent side, as well as her cuddly snugglebug nature.

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.
