More about Buffy
Meeting our lovely lady Buffy!
Buffy arrived to Battersea as a Stray, therefore we do not have any information on her previous adventures. Buffy is looking for a quiet home where she can rest her paws and enjoy the company of her new family.
She is a sweet girl who seeks out affection and she nudges you to carry on if you try to stop. Although she has shown to be uncomfortable with formal handling especially when in clinical settings. Due to some behaviours displayed with handling, she requires a new family who are comfortable and confident with dogs who are worried with veterinary experiences and are willing to continue some muzzle association as a skill which she has been practicing with her team at Battersea. Her new family will be given some training and guidance to use when presented with handling or veterinary situations that Buffy may not be comfortable with. Because of Buffy's sensitivities around handling, she would prefer to live in an adult only home.
Buffy is not housetrained would highly benefit from living in a home where she has regular access to a garden to practice housetraining. She loves to play with all kinds of toys too, she particularly enjoys a game of fetch and will not pass up the opportunity for a tug game. She exchanges her toys nicely.
Buffy can be a little unsure when meeting other dogs and although she can warm up and become wiggly and animated, she can be nervous when she greets them. Therefore Buffy is looking to be the only dog in her new home and for a family who can help her gain some confidence to learn the social skills she needs to then make new doggy friends when out and 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.
