More about Bluey
Meet lovely Bluey, who, although initially she can be quite shy, once she warms up to people, she is the most affectionate baby.
Bluey has a wonderful history of being friendly and affectionate with everyone, including the children and cats in the home. She can find new situations, dogs and people quite scary, she is looking for an owner with previous experience with dogs who will be dedicated to teaching her that the world is not such a scary place!
Bluey is quite worried of other dogs and has reacted towards them on occasion. She is not currently looking to live with other dogs but would benefit from some steady dog friends in the local area.
Bluey previously lived with 8 cats and took it all in her stride. She could live with another dog savvy cat. She also lived with children and was friendly and polite. She has since proven herself to be quite a sensitive soul, so we believe it would be best for her to live with teenagers who will give her space if needed.
Bluey is currently quite frightened of the outside world so will require a private garden space where she can desensitise to the nearby sounds and smells at her own pace.
With the right love and support Bluey's confidence will continue to grow into the affectionate, loving companion she's destined to be.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Bluey, 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/dogs
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 in question.
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.
