More about Jack
Jack is a sensitive Cavapoo who is looking for a patient and experienced home where he can build confidence and settle in at his own pace.
While he has a playful and loving side with those he has bonded with slowly, he can be worried by unfamiliar people and new situations. Jack is seeking owners who have owned or cared for dogs before and have a solid understand of stranger reactivity and can take their time with Jack while introducing him to new people, without placing pressure on him. Jack can bark and growl at people at times and this has been seen in his previous home, as well as here at Battersea Old Windsor. His new owners must be pepared to continue the training and management advice we have put in place to help him so far.
He can also find more invasive and clinical handling stressful, so this will need to be worked on slowly in his new home to help continue a positive association to different scenarios.
Once Jack is comfortable, his affectionate nature truly shines. He adores attention from his favourite people, he can paw at them for more fuss and becomes a loyal, loving companion who enjoys being close to those he knows best.
He is highly motivated by treats and enjoys toys, sometimes becoming vocal and demand barking towards his handlers to either throw a toy for him or if they have taken too long to reward him with a treat. This makes these fantastic tools for building trust, creating positive experiences and supporting ongoing training.
Jack would prefer to be the only dog in the home, as he enjoys having his own space. However, he may benefit from walking alongside calm companions who will not overwhelm him.
With a predictable routine, plenty of patience and new owners committed to his ongoing training and helping him feel safe and secure, Jack has so much love to give. He is ready to find a home where he can relax, grow in confidence and become a cherished member of the family.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Jack, you can e-mail 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 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.
