More about Cookie
Meet Cookie, our cheeky chi cross!
Cookie is a sweet but sensitive boy who has come a long way since arriving with us, growing a real circle of trusted people and letting his fun, sassy personality shine through. He is affectionate with those he knows and loves a cuddle or a lap to climb into. He is happiest with his nose down searching for hidden treats or entertaining himself with a favourite toy. Although he can be worried by new people and situations, Cookie has shown that with patience and reassurance he settles well and builds trust over time.
Cookie is looking for an experienced owner who can give him the time, consistency and confidence building he needs. He could be homed to a dedicated single-carer household, as he tends to settle happily on his own once he knows his person. He is looking for a calm home in a quiet location away from the hustle of inner-city life.
Cookie has a lovely history of socialising with smaller dogs and has continued to form friendships with dogs of a similar size and temperament during his stay. He could thrive living alongside a confident, well matched smaller dog who could help him feel secure both at home and out on walks.
Cookie will need a cat and small animal free home, as he has shown an interest in chasing pigeons.
As there's no known history of Cookie living with or meeting children, he would be best suited to an adult-only home where his boundaries can be properly understood and respected, with any visiting children carefully managed by a known adult.
A secure private garden would benefit Cookie, giving him a safe space to play, burn off energy and support him with housetraining as he settles in.
Cookie is a wonderful boy with real warmth underneath his worries and with time and patience he will quickly show his sweet, loving personality.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Cookie, 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.
