Introducing the Underdogs

Most dogs will stay with us for 60 days. However, we care for many dogs who have more specific requirements, meaning they struggle to catch the eye of potential new owners and take longer to find their forever homes. These dogs are our ‘Underdogs.’

Underdogs are dogs who have been in our care for six months, or more. They may need extra training, ongoing veterinary treatment or a home with no children or dogs. Or, in some cases, they are simply overlooked.

Finding a dog their forever home is always our top priority. And for as long as we can ensure their health, happiness and wellbeing in our care, we’ll do everything we can to find their perfect match, however long it takes.

Could your home be an Underdog's happy place?

Although this group of long-term lodgers have been in our centres for longer, they have lots of love to give! And, as we know them so well, we’ll be able to help you decide whether you and your new home could be their perfect match. And, as we believe a dog is for life, we’re here to support you and your Underdog for as long as you need us.
