Dottie is a very affectionate two-year-old Whippet cross looking for a calm, patient home where someone is around most of the time to help her settle into her new surroundings. She would love to be the only dog in the home, but could enjoy a few regular walking friends to build her confidence with. Dottie can live with sensible secondary school-aged children who understand dogs and can give her space when she needs it. She finds being left difficult and much prefers to be snuggled up as close to you as possible. Her ideal home would also have a secure garden where she can enjoy zoomies, relax in the sunshine, and potter about happily.

Is Dottie right for you?

Dottie may be young, but she’s already been through a lot of change in her life. Due to this she finds it very difficult to be on her own and settling in somewhere new takes longer than most. Despite this, she is the sweetest girl you could hope to meet and has so much love to give. In the home, Dottie is incredibly affectionate and will happily shower her people with cuddles and love. Out and about, she’s just as charming! Everyone she meets is greeted with the same joyful enthusiasm. Dottie’s favourite place to be is snuggled up close to her favourite humans, whether that’s curled beside you on the sofa or tucked up happily in bed. She is currently in a foster home where she's described as an absolute sweetheart. All Dottie needs now is a calm, understanding home where she can be given plenty of time to settle in at her own pace. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, loving best friend who will adore you completely.

How our rehoming process works

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 …

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 …

When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

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.
