More about Brixton
Meet our sweet Chi cross Brixton!
Brixton is a sensitive little lady, who takes some time to warm up to new people but once you're in her crew you're in! Brixton is super affectionate with her people and wants nothing more than to snuggle up for a fuss, especially loving to be cradled on her back in your arms! She can still have a worried side to her, especially when it comes to traffic and roads so will need an understanding and patient owner to welcome her back into a home environment.
Brixton would benefit from a home with a garden to have a run around in and have access to regular toilet breaks but she is happy to make use of a nearby green space for this too. In the past Brixton has had some sensitivities around handling although this has not been shown onsite we feel she would be better suited to a home with a sensible teenager who has experience with dogs and reading dog body language.
Onsite Brixton has shown to be independent around dogs but has shown a more playful and friendly character whilst on foster and would love to make some new doggy friends to socialise outside the home with. New owners should be confident in continuing to socialise Brixton with other dogs at her own pace.
Brixton's foster carer's have described her as 'such a dream to have around, very easy dog in a quiet location. We can’t believe she hasn’t been snapped up yet' so what are you waiting for?.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Brixton, 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.
