Rosie

Rosie is a sweet-natured 5-year-old Yorkshire Terrier who enjoys being around people and forming close bonds with her humans. She can be a little timid when first meeting new people or being handled, so she’ll need a patient and understanding home that will give her the time and space to build her confidence at her own pace. Once she feels comfortable, Rosie’s affectionate and playful personality really shines through—she loves giving kisses and enjoys spending time playing, whether that’s entertaining herself with her toys or engaging in a fun game of tug of war. She walks nicely on the lead and enjoys getting out and about, greeting other dogs politely before happily continuing on her way. Rosie is currently in Foster Care and therefore not available to view at the rehoming centre. Potential adopters are advised to favourite Rosie on their online application to signify their interest..

Is Rosie right for you?

Rosie would suit a calm home with secondary school-aged children who can respect her gentle nature and allow her to settle in gradually. She has previously lived with another dog and could do so again, but she would also be just as content as the only dog in the home, soaking up all the attention. Rosie is currently making good progress with her toilet training in foster, using pads and starting to signal when she needs to go outside, but her new family will need to continue this training consistently and build up any leaving time slowly. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion and are happy to support her ongoing development, Rosie could make a wonderful addition to your home.

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 …

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 …

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 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.
