More about Alfie
Say hello to our handsome young man, Alfie!
Alfie is a young, affectionate cockapoo with so much potential just waiting to be unlocked! His previous owners described him as the sweetest boy, a little shadow who loved being close to his people and enjoyed nothing more than having his ears scratched.
With the right guidance, patience and consistency, we believe he has all the makings of a wonderful doggy friend. Though being young, Alfie is still learning about the world and developing the life skills he needs to become a well-rounded adult. He can struggle with excitement, frustration and understanding other dogs’ social cues, but he is already showing that he can learn, with recent progress in his training giving us plenty of reason to feel optimistic about his future!
With other dogs, Alfie can find things overwhelming and needs support to learn appropriate social skills. We feel he could benefit from living with a calm, steady and tolerant dog who can help him learn, following careful introductions and assessment.
Alfie will need experienced, committed owners who can provide clear boundaries, consistent training and plenty of positive guidance, as well as a home where someone is around for most of the day. A quieter area away from the busy inner city, with a private garden, would help him feel more settled and would be beneficial to help him flourish. Alfie may have some learning to do, but he is still young, has already begun making progress and has so much potential to grow into a fantastic adult dog. With the right people in his corner, willing to invest in his training and help him navigate the world, Alfie has every opportunity to excel in every department.

Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our dogs individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the dog you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our dogs and the right dog for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our dogs and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a dog within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search, either at Battersea or beyond.

Our rehoming fee is £230 for dogs (over six months), £350 for a pair of dogs, or £275 for puppies (under six months). We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). Included in this cost are the following:
- Microchipping
- Initial vaccinations, flea and worming treatment
- Neutering
- A collar, identification tag and lead
- Starter pack of food, advice and special offers
- Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance as your dog settles into their new surroundings
Something to bear in mind is that our rehoming fee is just the beginning of the costs involved with owning a dog. We would recommend that before making the decision to rehome, you investigate the costs of pet food, pet insurance, grooming and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of bringing a dog into your home.
