BreedCollie

Meet lovely Bluey, who, although initially she can be quite shy, once she warms up to people, she is the most affectionate baby. Bluey has a wonderful history of being friendly and affectionate with everyone, including the children and cats in the home. She can find new situations, dogs and people quite scary, she is looking for an owner with previous experience with dogs who will be dedicated to teaching her that the world is not such a scary place! Bluey is quite worried of other dogs and has reacted towards them on occasion. She is not currently looking to live with other dogs but would benefit from some steady dog friends in the local area. Bluey previously lived with 8 cats and took it all in her stride. She could live with another dog savvy cat. She also lived with children and was friendly and polite. She has since proven herself to be quite a sensitive soul, so we believe it would be best for her to live with teenagers who will give her space if needed.Bluey is currently quite frightened of the outside world so will require a private garden space where she can desensitise to the nearby sounds and smells at her own pace. With the right love and support Bluey's confidence will continue to grow into the affectionate, loving companion she's destined to be.

BreedChihuahua

Meet Domino & Sudoku, an adorable, bonded pair of Chihuahua Cross's looking for a quiet home to call their own. They are based at our Old Windsor Centre This friendly pair haven't had much socialisation in their life, so they are quite timid and lacking in confidence. They are looking for a home that can give them time, patience and understanding to help them learn to enjoy life in a home. During their time here they have made small strides forward and once bonded they have enjoyed some fuss and attention and are now actively seeking this out. Their fun and playful characters are shining through and they love a short game together and have even started to play with toys. Sudoku in particular likes to have zoomies and will run around trying to get Domino to play. Due to their worry and uncertainty in the outdoors, Domino and Sudoku would benefit from a private garden where they can relax, sniff and get used to the space this provides them. They enjoy walks here at Battersea in familiar places and when settled we're sure will enjoy varied walks where they can sniff but would likely prefer quieter areas. Although they are not going to be hiking buddies they are spritely and will need appropriate exercise and training to keep their minds busy too. Domino and Sudoku have only ever known other Chihuahua types so other breeds have caused them some anxiety. Once they are ready to explore the wider world, new owners will need to help them navigate other dogs and support them making other dog friends. In their new home, they may be able to live with an existing small dog who is calm, friendly and happy to share their space with Domino and Sudoku whilst they adjust to a new environment. This duo are a very sweet, bonded pair who like to be together, often sharing a bed and checking in on each other. Domino and Sudoku will make wonderful companions, bringing plenty of joy and a lot of reward watching them develop and their characters begin to show.

BreedCavalier King Charles Spaniel X Poodle

Jack is a sensitive Cavapoo who is looking for a patient and experienced home where he can build confidence and settle in at his own pace. While he has a playful and loving side with those he has bonded with slowly, he can be worried by unfamiliar people and new situations. Jack is seeking owners who have owned or cared for dogs before and have a solid understand of stranger reactivity and can take their time with Jack while introducing him to new people, without placing pressure on him. Jack can bark and growl at people at times and this has been seen in his previous home, as well as here at Battersea Old Windsor. His new owners must be pepared to continue the training and management advice we have put in place to help him so far. He can also find more invasive and clinical handling stressful, so this will need to be worked on slowly in his new home to help continue a positive association to different scenarios.Once Jack is comfortable, his affectionate nature truly shines. He adores attention from his favourite people, he can paw at them for more fuss and becomes a loyal, loving companion who enjoys being close to those he knows best.He is highly motivated by treats and enjoys toys, sometimes becoming vocal and demand barking towards his handlers to either throw a toy for him or if they have taken too long to reward him with a treat. This makes these fantastic tools for building trust, creating positive experiences and supporting ongoing training. Jack would prefer to be the only dog in the home, as he enjoys having his own space. However, he may benefit from walking alongside calm companions who will not overwhelm him. With a predictable routine, plenty of patience and new owners committed to his ongoing training and helping him feel safe and secure, Jack has so much love to give. He is ready to find a home where he can relax, grow in confidence and become a cherished member of the family.If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Jack, you can e-mail our rehoming team on bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.We ask every customer to first complete our online rehoming application form, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here; https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/dogsPlease be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that are a match for the dog you have contacted us about.

Meet sweet Jake!Jake arrived at Battersea with six of his siblings from another rescue. Unfortunately, we have no information about their previous history.Jake, like all of his siblings, has found the move to our busy London site quite challenging especially in those first few days. Jake is very worried and has shown to be the most scared of the lot, lacking in life experience with the outside world. Jake is under the care of the London Battersea team and is currently spending time in a foster home. Jake has been quite worried outside, sticking with his bonded handler but has slowly been building in confidence and exploring. Jake has shown amaizing progress in his lead walking with occasionally spinning but also a happy run when he is in an open grassy open space . Jake has been able to make friends with his bonded handlers and will settle onto their laps and accept a fuss, but this has taken some time to get to this stage and can still be very unsure.Jake is looking for a dedicated family who are happy to commit the time needed to help him settle into a new environment and build his confidence. He would suit owners with some previous experience of anxious dogs who are confident in reading dog body language and advocating for his needs. Due to his worried nature, he will need to live with a steady role model dog to gain confidence.

Jasmine is an affectionate and gentle Lurcher who enjoys spending time with people. She's a really tactile dog and likes to be standing right next to you and leaning on your legs if she can. She is currently based at Battersea Old Windsor. Jasmine initially found some interactions with other dogs a little challenging, but she has made lovely progress through positive training and confidence-building work. She has been able to make a couple of dog friends who she enjoys socialising with however, she can still find some encounters overwhelming and may occasionally stare or become vocal when she is unsure. For this reason, we feel she would prefer being the only dog in the home while she is still working on her social skills Jasmine enjoys her walks and we think would be the sort of dog who would love going out and about exploring new places and going on longs walks but will then happily come back to her home comforts and have a snooze on her bed. She is such a kind hearted, endearing dog who will do anything to be close to people and will wriggle up to you for a fuss. She will most likely need some support when learning to spend time on her own at home. As the company of people is so important to her she struggles when left alone and will need help learning to be confident and independent at home. Jasmine is a charming girl who enjoys life's little pleasures, including tasty treats, gentle grooming sessions and relaxing in a sunny spot watching the world go by.If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Jasmine, you can e-mail our rehoming team on bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.We ask every customer to first complete our online rehoming application form, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here; https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/dogsPlease be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that are a match for the dog you have contacted us about.

Kenji is a characterful Akita looking for a new home with owners who have knowledge of owning or caring for the breed and therefore have a solid understanding of their strong, independent nature.Kenji enjoys the company of people on his own terms. Once he is comfortable, he is happy to spend time relaxing alongside his favourite people without wanting constant attention. He has an aloof nature, preferring quiet companionship over lots of fuss. His new owners will need to respect his space and recognise when he would rather do his own thing.He can be wary of unfamiliar people and has shown some strong reactions when he feels uncomfortable. He communicates clearly through his body language, using behaviours such as barking or becoming tense when he is unsure. His new owners will need to understand these signals and allow him to approach new people at his own pace, and avoid forcing interactions.Kenji enjoys a balance of gentle sniffy walks and opportunities to stretch his legs in secure enclosed areas where he can explore freely. He has generally been happy to pass other dogs without much interest, but he can become very focused at times. For this reason, he is looking to be the only dog in his new home. Owners will need to be happy to walk him in quieter locations while gradually building his confidence around new environments and distractions.A home with a secure private garden will be essential for Kenji, giving him a safe outdoor space where he can relax without seeing unfamiliar dogs or people. He would also benefit from plenty of mental enrichment alongside his walks, and as a very food-motivated boy, he particularly enjoys puzzle feeders, food toys and games that encourage him to use his brain. Kenji has a wonderful playful side once he feels settled. He loves chasing squeaky toys and enjoys a game of tug with his handlers, showing a fun and engaging personality. Due to some of the reactions towards unknown people Kenji has shown he is looking for a home with older teenagers or adults only who understand his need for space and quiet. A calmer household with limited visitors would suit him best.Kenji is a loyal and rewarding companion who will thrive with Akita enthusiasts who appreciate his independent nature and are willing to give him the time, patience and understanding he deserves.If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Kenji, you can email our rehoming team on bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.We ask every customer to first complete our online rehoming application form, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here: https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/dogsPlease be aware that we receive a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those who are a match for the dog they have enquired about.

Meet our wonderful Lula!Lula is a gorgeous 6-month-old Husky who came into Battersea due to a change in her previous owner's circumstances. Just like most puppies that come into our care, Lula has struggled to adjust to a kennel environment. She can become quite vocally demanding when staff pass her kennel, wanting them to say hello to her. Just like a typical husky she knows how to use her voice when she wants, but this would mostly be down to stress. Lula would be ok going to a less experienced home, if new owners understand what it means to take on a husky, especially one so young and the work that will come with that! This fun-loving youngster has embraced life with enthusiasm! Lula is full of energy and loves everyone she meets, whether they have two legs or four. As she continues to experience the world around her, her confident, playful personality shines through more each day.We would recommend her living with the teenage range, due to being quite excitable and needing to be taught basics and manners. Lula will need a home with a private garden. Due to being a younger pup, it would be essential for her to work on training and basics away from distractions, confidence building and have access to an area for toilet training.If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Lula, you can e-mail our rehoming team on rehoming@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual dog, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/dogsPlease be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that are a match for the dog you have contacted us about.
