Are you right for Bella?

Bella is a 5-year-old Pug bursting with charm, character, and just the right amount of cheekiness. She’s a sociable, affectionate girl who loves being part of the action and never fails to make her people smile. Bella is looking for a loving home with a secure, private garden, not just for lounging but also to support her regular exercise routine as she works on her weight-loss journey. She would thrive in a calm household where she can be the centre of attention, and she won’t be shy about asking for it! Bella is best suited to an owner who can stick to a consistent routine, including multiple daily walks and a carefully managed diet. She could live with children of all ages and has previously shared her home happily with dogs and cats, making her a great match for a wide range of homes. New owners should be understanding of the common health considerations associated with brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds, including the importance of managing her exercise and breathing needs with care.

Is Bella right for you?

Bella is a delightfully funny, affectionate Pug who’s full of personality and always ready to brighten your day. Whether she’s rolling onto her back for belly rubs, doing her signature snore during a nap, or trotting along politely on her walk, Bella knows how to bring joy and laughter to every moment. She walks beautifully on the lead, keeping a loose heel beside you, and she’s a dream companion for anyone who enjoys regular strolls with a sociable sidekick. Though she’s not fussed about toys, Bella does enjoy a good chew bone and absolutely loves snuggling up next to her favourite humans for a well-earned snooze. She’s crate trained, fully housetrained, and happy to be left alone for 2–4 hours, whether she’s snoozing on the sofa, in her crate, or making herself comfy on your bed. At night, Bella sleeps peacefully in the living room. She starts off in her crate with the door open, but often chooses the sofa for the rest of her snooze. After a few initial barks during her first nights settling in, she now sleeps soundly without fuss, happy and content in her new routine. Bella also travels well in the car, secured in the back seat with a harness. She may pant or whine a little at first but settles quickly and travels comfortably. Bella does have some ongoing medical needs, which will be discussed in more detail following a successful application. She’s incredibly tolerant and easy to manage with her routine, and her loving nature makes every effort worthwhile. With her laid-back nature, affectionate heart, and general silliness, Bella will make a truly special companion for a family who can support her health and fitness goals and offer her the comfort, companionship, and belly scratches she so clearly adores and deserves.

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 …

Apply Now

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 contact you within seven days

We’ll be in touch by phone or email within seven days of receiving your application to have a chat about your dog search. Then we'll start looking for a great match for you.

We will make two attempts to contact you. If after the second attempt we don’t hear back from …

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match

You won't need to do anything else or apply again for three months. We’ll keep reviewing your application against all the dogs at your chosen centre. Not all available dogs are featured on our website; dogs of all shapes and sizes regularly come into our care, and your application will be considered for any dogs that match your requirements. We’ll contact you as soon as we find a good match.

If for some reason we don’t find the right dog in that time, you can reapply, and we’ll keep looking.

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.

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.
