More about Bruno
Bruno is a handsome Dobermann cross Weimaraner who is interactive, lively and keen to explore. He has previously lived in a home so has many basics already in place and is looking for new owners who can continue to enhance on these skills, his love for toys and food will help with any training going forwards.
Our team have advised that he is keen to please and will respond to his handler, he loves to play with toys and be around people, sometimes needing to be encouraged to keep his feet on the floor. As he can be excited he is best to live in a home with teens, he could live with a dog but they will need to be able to cope with his play style. Bruno has shown to be vocal and intolerant at times towards entire male dogs or when he is feeling overwhelmed so his new owners will need to be happy to support him with some training in this area, keeping him on lead when out and about and taking him to quieter open spaces for walking so he can enjoy his time outside.
In his previous home he was housetrained, but we have noticed that this has slipped a little since being in kennels, this could be due to finding kennel life a little stressful, so a garden to run around to let of some energy and help with house training reminders would be preferred for him.
We have seen that Bruno has been quite stressed with us, and previously did become extremely anxious when left alone in the home or when one member of his family left, therefore his new home will need to be prepared to build up his leaving hours very slowly, being around all the time to begin with, to help him settle in to his new home.

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.
