More about Groot
Bouncy boy Groot is looking for a loving home!
This tippy-tappy-toed boy is a very sweet and friendly character who is looking for a family to continue his basic training, particularly around his manners with people. While he can be a bouncy and lacks some manners, he absolutely adores human attention and is happiest when he's spending time with his people.
Groot loves people and is looking for experienced owners who can offer patience, time, and a gentle approach to help him settle into home life. He has found kennel life challenging and will need plenty of support and reassurance as he adjusts to his new surroundings.
Groot has shown signs of separation-related behaviours, so experience with dogs who struggle when left alone would be beneficial. He'll need a home where leaving hours can be kept to a minimum while he builds confidence. To work on this he has spent time in a foster home and apart from being super excited when they return, he has been a star on foster and has shown to be very housetrained.
Groot is looking for a quieter home in a peaceful location with a private garden, away from the hustle and bustle of busy city areas. Although he can become excited when passing other dogs, he has shown himself to be a friendly boy. Groot could live with teenagers and adults and would thrive in a multi-carer household where there is plenty of company to help meet his needs.
If you think Groot could be the Guardian of your Galaxy, contact our rehoming team today!
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about little Groot, 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.
