BreedGreyhound

Alfie is a cheeky, playful and affectionate Greyhound who has quickly charmed everyone with his soft nature and delightful presence. He loves attention from his known people and is often found playing with toys, zooming around paddocks or enjoying gentle fuss.Alfie enjoys gentle walks, enrichment games, and then a long nap on a comfy bed. He is looking for a supportive and patient home where he can settle in his own pace.A secure garden is needed for Alfie so he can have a safe area for his playful side and the occasional burst of energy. This will also come in handy while he is learning the basics and the routines of home life.Alfie is very sociable with other dogs, especially other Greyhounds, and he enjoys their company on walks and in calm social settings. As one of Alfie’s favourite things to do is play with toys, he can become grumpy when he has to share them with other dogs. We feel he would prefer to be the only dog in the household, where he can relax, enjoy his toys, and build a close bond with his new family.With kindness, consistency, and plenty of affection, Alfie will blossom into a loyal, fun-loving and trusting companion who gives back every bit of love he receives.If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Alfie, 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.

Bruno, a 2 years old male Dobermann available for adoption from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in Greater London

Bruno

Age2 years
BreedDobermann

Bruno is a handsome Dobermann cross Weimaraner who is interactive, lively and keen to explore. He has previously lived in a home so has many basics already in place and is looking for new owners who can continue to enhance on these skills, his love for toys and food will help with any training going forwards. Our team have advised that he is keen to please and will respond to his handler, he loves to play with toys and be around people, sometimes needing to be encouraged to keep his feet on the floor. As he can be excited he is best to live in a home with teens, he could live with a dog but they will need to be able to cope with his play style. Bruno has shown to be vocal and intolerant at times towards entire male dogs so his new owners will need to be happy to support him with some training in this area and keeping him on lead or a longline when out and about. In his previous home he was housetrained, but we have noticed that this has slipped a little since being in kennels, this could be due to finding kennel life a little stressful, so a garden to run around to let of some energy and help with house training reminders would be preferred for him. We have seen that Bruno has been quite stressed with us, and previously did become extremely anxious when left alone in the home or when one member of his family left, therefore his new home will need to be prepared to build up his leaving hours very slowly, being around all the time to begin with, to help him settle in to his new home.

Meet lovely Cleo!Sweet Cleo arrived at Battersea as a gift, due to a change in her owners circumstances. Cleo's previous owner described her as a great girl who loves a cuddle with her people. She was notably wary of strangers in history and has been worried around new people on site. Cleo has proven to be a sensitive girl during her stay. Although she warms up to people quickly when given the opportunity to approach in her own time, she is still worried of life and sensitive to loud noises and busy places. Cleo is therefore looking for a home away from the hustle and bustle of city life, in a quiet location where she can work on her confidence building.She has been spending time in an office where she has settled and become a bit more relaxed.She has met many dogs while she has been with us, and has shown to really want to play with steadier dogs who aren't overbearing, and has proven to have some really lovely social skills once she gains confidence and begins to come out of her shell around the other dog.Cleo could potentially live with a steady dog in her new home, that would allow her the opportunity to gain confidence without being overwhelmed. Cleo has also lived with 2 cats in her previous home and would reportedly cuddle and play with them. She could therefore potentially live with a confident cat in her new home.Once she builds trust with her people, Cleo has proven to have a wonderful personality with lots of love to give and cannot wait to share this with her future person!

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 although still worried by people, once bonded they have enjoyed some fuss and attention. 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 may even start to play and have some fun. Walks may not be what is best for this pair until they have grown in confidence. 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.

Say hello to our little Elton. This chap is looking for a loving home where he can rest his Frenchie paws! He has shown to be a little sensitive when meeting new people but has very quickly warmed up to his humans here at Battersea. He is a loving and affectionate lad who does have a cheeky side. He is known to zoom about and enjoy a little play. Elton is looking for new owners who have experience with his breed and who can guide him in a home and provide him with basic training. Elton sometimes forgets his manners with other dogs at times and can be a bit aroused when off-lead. However he has good response to his handler when prompting him away to have a break and for the most part is a friendly boy who likes to have polite greets. Elton also has a particular interest in feet and does think they are fun to play with. New owners will need to put some consistent training into his behaviour in this area but is picking this up well so far. He is looking to be the only dog in the home at this time and would thrive in a location away from the inner city. He would love to have access own his own garden & he may even be able to live with a dog savvy cat! Due to his overstimulated behaviour around feet we feel an adult only home would suit him best at this stage to ensure his training in this area is consistent. Elton is ready for a new chapter in life and is the most affectionate and loving of souls.If you are a Frenchie enthusiast then he is perfect for you!If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Elton, 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
