More about Amma

Amma is a shy and sensitive Lurcher Cross is looking for a patient household who can allow her to grow in confidence and settle into a home at her own pace. She is currently based at Battersea Old Windsor.

Amma can be a little reserved when meeting new people and may take a little time to feel comfortable. However, if given the opportunity to approach at her own pace, she can make friends easily and lets her lovely personality shine through. Once she feels settled, Amma enjoys gentle affection and will happily lean into you for a fuss, often seeking out a little extra attention from her favourite people.

She would be looking to be the only dog in the home at this time while she continues to build her confidence around other dogs. Amma can be a little unsure when meeting dogs for the first time, particularly in new situations, but with patient introductions, she begins to feel more comfortable. Once her confidence grows, Amma enjoys interacting with other dogs and can have fun engaging in gentle play.

Amma can find the outside world a little overwhelming at times, so she will be looking for a home with her own secure private garden while she continues to build her confidence. Having a safe outdoor space of her own will give her the opportunity to relax, explore at her own pace, and enjoy a good zoom around to burn off some of her energy when she feels playful.

Amma would make a truly delightful companion for the right home. She is sure to bring plenty of happiness and affection those lucky enough to welcome her into their lives. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Amma, 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 form before we discuss an individual animal, 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/rehoming.

Please 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.

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.
