More about Lala
Meet Lala, our beautiful Chow girl!
Lala arrived at Battersea with a lovely history in her previous home. She previously lived with two children and two cats and was described as an independent girl who could be typically aloof at times.
Since arriving onsite, Lala has shown herself to be a very sensitive soul who can be worried by new people and handling. She has taken some time to find her feet, but is growing in confidence every day around our London site.
Lala is a true Chow through and through and can be quite aloof while she gets to know you. Her new owners should have experience with the breed and a good understanding of typical Chow traits and behaviour. She will need kind and patient owners who are happy to give her time to build a bond at her own pace.
Lala is independent around other dogs and will need to be the only dog in the home, although she would love some calm doggy friends to enjoy walks with. She could potentially live with another very independent dog who is happy to give her space and doesn't seek lots of interaction in the home.
Lala previously lived happily with two cats, so she could potentially live with a dog-savvy cat following careful introductions.
She is looking for a home away from the inner city with access to her own private garden. Due to her worried nature, she would prefer to live with teenagers aged 13+ who can understand when she needs some space.
Lala is a lovely girl who is looking for owners who will give her the time and patience she needs to come out of her shell. She is one for the Chow enthusiasts and has plenty of potential to become a wonderful companion.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about sweet Lala, 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.
