Rehoming Dogs

Rehoming Dogs Biography
Organisations that rehome all breeds of dogs, both cross-bred and pure-bred, are listed on these pages by region. Most of them have will have kennels or centres that can be visited most days of the week including weekends but a few may need an appointment.

Although the larger organisations are well known, there are also many smaller organisations, often operated on a very small budget but still doing a wonderful job. The best rescues will all offer ongoing advice after you adopt a dog from them.

In addition, about 700 contacts for breed-rescues are listed, each specialising in a single breed of dog and these are listed alphabetically by breed. In most cases these rescues will not have dedicated kennels so that dogs waiting to be rehomed may stay either in a foster home or be rehomed directly from the previous owner. Many breed-rescues are run in association with a breed club.

Our rehoming process is carefully tailored to each applicant, so please allow plenty of time. We are busiest over weekends and during school holidays.

Dogs are rehomed all over the country, but you'll need to be able to collect the dog from one of our three sites. If you live more than ten miles from the Home you can start the dog rehoming process online. Fill in an application form and a rehomer will telephone you to go over the application with you.

If you live too far away for a home visit you'll need to provide a letter of recommendation from a vet or rescue centre. In some cases we may request you ask a local rescue centre to carry out a home visit. Please note, this doesn't guarantee you'll be able to rehome a dog from us.

Battersea has dogs of all ages, colours, shapes and sizes, each with its different personality and temperament.  Each dog is assessed to find out what it's like and what sort of home, lifestyle and environment would best suit it.

One dog might be relaxed about being left alone, for example, and can be left by itself for three to four hours, whereas another can't be left alone at all as it gets anxious or destructive. One could be best suited to a rural home, another to a flat in the city. Each animal is carefully matched at the interview stage with the most suitable owner.
