More about Dumpling
Dumpling is an adorable Spaniel that has had limited socialisation in her life. Despite this she has been spending time on foster and has shown to be an affectionate dog who enjoys belly rubs, walks and has picked up home life very quickly.
Dumpling is based at our Old Windsor centre and has started to make more progress with her confidence. She sleeps well overnight downstairs and will wait patiently for her foster carers to come down to greet them. Although she does prefer to sleep on the sofa than her bed.
Dumplings greatest love is food, she finds it very hard to act cool around food times and is often found bouncing or spinning, struggling to sit calmly and wait. Food is a good way to help build her basic training.
Meeting people Dumpling has been keen to pull over to say hello on walks and have a little fuss. She has shown a bit of worry around being handles so we believe she will be best suited to a home with older children.
Dumpling has shown lovely social skills with other dogs; she is friendly on introduction and enjoys a calm social walk. We do think she would be best as the only dog in her home though as indoor she can show controlling behaviours around other dogs.
True to her Spaniel breed she enjoys her walks, exploring and sniffing everything. In her foster home she travels well in the car and has been to various nature areas for nice long walks
Potential owners will need to speak with a Battersea vet prior to rehoming Dumpling
Dumpling would make a lovely addition to her new home with people who have the patience to work through a few of her worries and give her the patience she needs to fully come out of her shell.

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.
