Are you right for Rory?

Rory is a lovable whippet cross with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s a playful, goofy little lad who brings plenty of fun and affection into the home. With people he knows, Rory is incredibly loving and enjoys both playtime and relaxing close by your side. Rory can sometimes feel overwhelmed, which has led to some reactive or frustrated behaviour in the past. However, since moving into a foster home with another playful dog, he has made fantastic progress. Having a canine companion has helped him feel more secure, and his behaviour has improved dramatically as a result. He has also struggled with separation anxiety, but this too has improved greatly now that he has another dog around. Because of this, Rory will need a home with a friendly, playful resident dog, this companionship is key to helping him continue to feel settled and confident. He is housetrained and has been doing really well in a home environment. Rory can be a little unsure around strangers at times and may get spooked, so he’ll need patient adopters who can give him time to build trust. In return, he offers so much love, loyalty, and personality, he’s a special little dog who will thrive in the right home with a playful canine friend by his side. For this reason Rory needs a home with adults or children of 16 or over.

Is Rory right for you?

Rory is a delightful boy with so much love to give. He’s looking for a patient, committed family who can guide him as he learns the life skills he’s missed out on. With his mix of Sighthound and Bull Terrier traits, Rory is a charming goofball who’s guaranteed to bring laughter and energy into your life. If you’re after a fun-loving, spirited companion who’ll keep you on your toes and brighten your days, Rory could be the perfect match.

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.

With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care …
