More about Emi
Emi is a loving Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross looking for a home that will help her feel safe, secure and understood. As a deaf dog, Emi has been learning hand signals to support her training and communication, new owners will need to continue this to help her navigate the world around her.
Emi has been friendly with a variety of dogs she has met. She enjoys their company and, with a dog whose play style matches her own, she can show off her fun and playful side. She also enjoys watching other dogs walk by her whilst she’s out exploring. She could live with a well-matched dog that could read Emi well.
As Emi is deaf, she can startle easily if something surprises her, particularly when she is resting or unaware of someone approaching. Helping Emi feel secure in her surroundings will be an important part of settling her into her new home.
Emi enjoys her walks and will need plenty of opportunities for both physical and mental exercise. Emi has boundless enthusiasm and really wants to please her favourite people. She enjoys a game of tug and playing with toys. Emi enjoys her training and sometimes is so excited she will give you all the commands she knows in one go.
She has shown some worry around unfamiliar people, particularly men. As a deaf dog, being surprised by someone can understandably feel unsettling for her. She will benefit from a calm, predictable home where she can settle in at her own pace, with visitors kept to a minimum while she adjusts. Once she has been introduced to people, she makes friends quickly and is affectionate with her known people.
Emi will thrive in a home with a family willing to help her navigate the world in a way that works for her. Emi will be a rewarding dog to train and see grow within a home, with new owners willing to take a chance on Emi.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Emi, you can email our rehoming team on bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online rehoming application form, 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 receive a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those who are a match for the dog they have enquired 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.
