More about Boo
Say hello to Boo!
Boo is a lovely Cane Corso with a big personality and plenty of energy to share! She is a sweet, affectionate girl who enjoys spending time with her people and loves nothing more than getting involved in playtime. Boo has a good history of living happily with people and previously shared her home with a 10 year old Staffie. The pair enjoyed playing together as well as relaxing in each other’s company.
Boo can be very enthusiastic and bouncy, so she is looking for a family who can embrace her energetic nature and help her channel it in positive ways. Since coming into our care, she has found the kennel environment quite overwhelming and can become vocal when she is feeling stressed or seeking attention. She is gradually becoming more settled, and we have already seen that she is capable of relaxing when given the right environment and time. Boo is also making good progress with her lead walking and training, although she can still be strong and excitable at times. Her new family will need to continue building on this training and provide her with plenty of appropriate exercise, enrichment and opportunities to burn off her energy.
Boo would be best suited with owners who are willing to put the time and effort into helping her continue to develop into the wonderful all round pet she has the potential to be. She is a loving, affectionate girl who has lots to offer and will bring plenty of character, enthusiasm and love to the right home. Boo does show some strong guarding breed traits and can alarm bark at times towards new people, although she makes friends quickly she'd largely benefit from owners who have experience and are prepared for all the typical traits that come with owning a guarding breed!
Boo could live with another playful, tolerant dog. Any dog sharing her home would need to be comfortable with her enthusiastic style of play while also being able to have their own space and time away from her. She'd need her own private garden and in a quieter location away from the hustle and bustle of the inner city.
Boo is currently recovering from cherry eye surgery, and the pictures you can see here were taken before the procedure.
If you are looking for a loving, energetic companion and are ready to continue Boo’s training while helping her settle and flourish, this special girl could be the one for you.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Boo, 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 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.
