Are you right for Agatha?
Super sweet and clever girl Agatha is a 4 year old Staffy cross Collie who loves to use her brain. She absolutely loves a sniffy adventure, nose to the floor, sniffing everything in sight. Playtime is pretty awesome too, she gets all goofy and silly bounding and pouncing around with her toys, she likes most toys but a ball is definitely a favourite. She takes a little time to get to know people, but once she has a bond with you she can be quite cuddly, she will climb into your lap for ultimate snuggles, she does need you to keep checking in to make sure she is still comfortable. This sweetheart is ready to find her new home.
Is Agatha right for you?
Agatha is looking for a calm and predictable home with loving adopters who can take her on sniffy strolls, who will take the time to help her settle in and provide her all the love she deserves. She can be a worried girl who looks to her trusted people for reassurance so could live with older secondary school children who will approach at her pace, who will play with her nicely and will give her space to rest when needed, a space of her own where she can go when she is feeling overwhelmed would be best. Agatha would like all of the space and attention to herself so needs to be the only pet in the home. She finds other dogs in close proximity rather worrying so would prefer to go on walks in areas where she can have the space to enjoy exploring at her leisure, she will need to be on a lead at all times in public. Agatha is a super smart cookie so once she is settled and happy in her new home she could be encouraged to engage in training in short, sweet sessions as long as a tasty treat is on offer. She would like a home with a private garden to explore and potter about off lead and at her leisure. Agatha settles nicely and can be left for up to 4 hours, any leaving time would need to be built up slowly once she has had time to settle into her new home. Agatha will need to meet her adopters multiple times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying.

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.
