Are you right for Koda?
Koda is a sweet, active boy with a big love for tennis balls, food and getting out to explore. He can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but give him a bit of time to get to know you and he soon starts to relax, seek out affection and show off his lovely personality.
He would enjoy a home where he can keep both his body and brain busy, with plenty of walks, games and opportunities to sniff and explore. Koda would like to be the only dog in the home, although he could have suitable dog friends to enjoy walks with. He has a strong prey drive around smaller animals, so he will need a home without cats or small furries.
Koda could live with calm, dog-savvy secondary school-aged children who can recognise when he would prefer some space and allow him to come to them in his own time.
Is Koda right for you?
Koda is looking for adopters who will enjoy getting involved in his training and helping him grow in confidence around new people and situations. A home with a private garden would give him a great space to play, relax and, most importantly, chase his beloved tennis balls.
He travels really well in the car and settles happily on journeys, so he could make a brilliant companion for days out and new adventures. He is also used to spending some time home alone and has previously been happy to curl up on the sofa while his family are out.
Koda has a lovely balance of energy and affection. He is always up for an adventure, but once the fun is over he is more than happy to settle down for a well-earned snooze. If you enjoy an active lifestyle and would love to build a strong bond with a clever, playful dog, Koda could be a great match.
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.

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.
