Meet our sensitive boy Alex,Alex arrived at Battersea with seven of his siblings from another rescue. We have very limited information on their history, but they behave similarly to puppy farm dogs and have shown to be very under-socialised. Alex, like all his siblings, really struggled to adjust to the London site. Alex is still very worried and doesn't always want to go outside, he also would shy away from people outside and inside his kennel. It has been a bit of a slow burner with Mr. Alex, though he is slowly making small improvements.Understandably, Alex was very unsure and worried around any sort of handling due to lack of positive exposure in this area. He will need his new owners to be patient and dedicated to his confidence building which may take some time for him to be some somewhat comfortable with. His new owners will need to have a hands off approach and let Alex build trust over time. Once bonded, Alex is an excitable and happy boy and he relies on his known people for reassurance and guidance. He retreats to his known people when he is unsure. He bounces up and seeks attention with his favourite people. Once you have earned Alex's trust, you will become his safe place and companion for life. Alex likes the company of other dogs and gets some confidence from them. He has shown some lovely playful behaviours towards other dogs. He can at times be a little OTT with other dogs and has shown some chase behaviours so if to live with dogs, it will have to be with the right match. Alex hasn't seen much of the outside world and can be easily spooked by new things in the environment or lead pressure. He will still put on the brakes majority of the time and will need a lot of reassurances to get him moving. For this reason, he will need a secure private garden so that he can have an outdoor space where he can build his confidence and train with minimal distractions.Alex is going to need a new family in an adult-only household who are dedicated and happy to commit the time needed to help him settle into a new environment and build his confidence which is desperately needed. He is looking for owners with previous experience with anxious or fearful-reactive dogs who are confident in reading dog body language will be able to advocate for him throughout his adjustment period in a new home.

Say hello to our beautiful teenager Casper!Casper is a young Golden Retriever who came into Battersea displaying behaviours typical of an adolescent dog. He was recently rehomed but returned after a couple of days due to challenges with overstimulation and resource guarding, highlighting the importance for Casper to be rehomed to new owners that can provide him with ongoing guidance and consistency as he matures.Without consistent supervision and management, these behaviours are likely to continue throughout adolescence. Caspar's training should focus on reliable drop cues, appropriate exchanges, settle cues, and “off” cues. Care must be taken to ensure exchanges are managed thoughtfully so unwanted behaviours are not accidentally reinforced. His new home will also need to be Casper-proofed, with items kept out of reach or securely stored to prevent him from accessing them.Casper would be best suited to an adult-only home with committed owners, and the new home will need a large private garden. He is a truly sweet and affectionate boy with a wonderfully endearing side that is ready to shine as he grows in confidence and maturity. He is a fun and active dog looking for loving, dedicated owners who are passionate about training and prepared to help him become the very best version of himself! He has some good social skills with other dogs and also some adolescent ones, already tried and tested in a home with dogs which was not successful due to Casper's frustration. He has been friendly with both known and unknown humans.

Charm is a fun-loving Greyhound; her name fits her personality very well. She is based at Battersea Old Windsor. Charm is an affectionate dog who loves to lean in for fuss. She does have a worried side when walking out and about, she is looking for her new home to be in a quieter location where she can take her time and build confidence whilst she navigates her new world. Charm previously spent some time in a temporary foster home where she was a great house guest. She was fascinated by the TV at first but learnt to accept it and was good around other household noises. She walked nicely on the lead, slept downstairs overnight and her foster carer described her as very intelligent. She loves her food and can sometimes struggle to contain her excitement around meals and treats. She will need to work on her manners in her new home to improve her impulse control.Charm is polite and friendly towards other dogs; she is quite independent and prefers her own space. We feel it is best for Charm to be the only dog in the household due to this. She is a fabulous dog who will make a ‘’Charming’’ addition to the family.If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Charm, you can e-mail our rehoming team on bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.

Daisy is a charming Saluki cross who loves to run around and bounce after toys. She is based at our Old Windsor centre.Daisy enjoys a gentle fuss from people she knows and loves to zoom around in our paddocks, in typical Lurcher style.She also likes to potter around sniffing and to watch the world go by. Daisy does need a little confidence building when going to new places, so is looking for new owners that can let her explore at her own pace. Daisy would benefit from her own private garden to practicing recall, house training and to have her own space where she feels comfortable.We would advise keeping her on a lead until she has a solid recall. Daisy loves to run around so renting a private dog field would give her the opportunity to run freely whilst practicing her training. Whilst she is still getting to grips with toy play (she will run after toys but has not learnt to play as such) we have found that she loves food. Daisy arrived at Old Windsor as a stray so she will need new owners to build up her time alone gradually, taking it at Daisy’s pace. She has been friendly with everyone she has met, but does have a worried side, so will need introducing to new people slowly, letting Daisy say hello in her own time.Daisy has met a few dogs here at Old Windsor and has been friendly and playful, but can sometimes get worried around more animated dogs. She is very comfortable passing dogs out and about so new owners can gradually introduce her to calm steady dogs that Daisy feels comfortable around.Once Daisy comes out of her shell and her confidence grows her fun bouncy personality will shine through.

Lainey is a friendly and affectionate Jack Russell cross who adores human company and loves being close to her people. She is currently based in Battersea Old WindsorLainey is comfortable meeting other dogs and is happy to say hello before carrying on with her day. She can feel a little unsure around much larger dogs who lean over her, so she may crouch or choose to move away. If she were to live with another dog, she’d likely do best with one closer to her size and not too boisterous.Any dog Lainey lives with would need to be relaxed about sharing their space and belongings, and comfortable with a busy little companion who may trot past or approach while they have toys.Lainey loves being around people and really enjoys affection. She’s happiest when she can curl up on someone’s lap and soak up attention. In kennels she can become a little over attached and may show some separation stress when left, simply because she loves human company so much. She will be looking to go to a home with minimal leaving hours to allow her to settle in at her own pace.Lainey really enjoys her walks and loves taking her time to sniff and explore. She’d benefit from calm, steady walking routes at first while she settles into her new surroundings. She can be a little jumpy with loud motorbikes or cars passing by, but with reassurance she copes well.Lainey has also spent some time on foster. She was a little unsure to begin with, but it didn’t take long for her to make herself at home. At night, she settled in the front room, though but could be a bit restless. Once she was given free roam of the house and could choose to sleep near her foster carer’s bedroom, she relaxed much more easily.She travels well in the car, though she does prefer being lifted in to help her feel secure.Lainey is a sweet, sensitive little dog with a big heart. She thrives in a calm, reassuring environment where she can feel safe and included.
