About This Dog for Adoption

Ella's ideal home

Ella is a sensitive seven-year-old girl who is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can take life at her own pace. She can be worried when meeting new people, so her future adopters will need to visit the centre multiple times to build a trusting relationship with her before she goes home. Ella would suit a quiet household in a peaceful location, as traffic and busy roads can make her anxious. Although she is high energy and enjoys exploring, she prefers to do so on her own terms and will benefit from gentle, pressure-free walks. She can live with children aged 14 and over who understand the importance of giving her space when she needs it.

Could you be Ella's perfect match?

Ella is friendly with other dogs and is quite independent, meaning she could happily live with another calm, older dog with a similar energy level and play style. Once settled, she can be left for a few hours, with any leaving time built up gradually. Ella will need patient, compassionate adopters who are committed to helping her build confidence around new people and unfamiliar environments. With time, consistency, and reassurance, Ella will blossom into an affectionate companion, making her a truly rewarding rehome for those willing to give her the understanding she deserves.

Dogs Trust Adoption Process

Thinking of adopting through Dogs Trust? Here's what to expect before you start your application.

  • Register your interest in adoption on the Dogs Trust website - you can't apply for specific dogs directly.
  • Create an account to favourite dogs you're interested in and help the team understand your preferences.
  • Dogs Trust will match you with dogs that fit your lifestyle and home environment.
  • Some dogs listed here may already be rehomed or reserved, as updates can take time to sync.
  • If matched, you'll go through their adoption and home-check process before taking your new dog home.
