Are you right for Weasel?
Say hello to handsome Weasel, an 11-year old Whippet X looking for his forever home! Weasel could be rehomed with children 11yrs+ but would like to be the only dog in the home. Weasel is very sweet and loving, and he is looking for a nice retirement home where he can indulge in all the home comforts! Weasel has bundles of energy for his age, so would love to have a lovely garden where he can play and have a run around. Weasel much prefers spending time in the garden then snoozing on the sofa as walks worry him. He will be such a fun, lovable companion for his forever home.
Weasel is a super sweet boy and he settles really nicely in his kennel, so we hope this will translate well into home life too. He loves to explore new places, and will have a good sniff and explore. He is fab with all sorts of handling, and has no issues - apart from his nails, which he would prefer for people to avoid! Weasel's favourite toy is a tennis ball, and he will play with one until his heart's content!
Is Weasel right for you?
Weasel is a super sweet boy, hoping for a forever home where he can live out his golden years enjoying zoomies and playing in his garden and cuddles on the sofa. Weasel is fully house-trained and travels well in the car (can have a bark at people walking past). There is no reason for Weasel to be muzzled for any sort of handling, such as veterinary or grooming, however he would prefer if you were to avoid his nails!
He's good on lead, but he can be a bit vocal when on walks. He is a really sweet older man, and we can't wait to see him cosied up on his forever sofa.

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 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.

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.

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 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.
