More about Libby
Looking for a lovely golden oldie to fill your days? Meet Libby! This sweet Papillon is ready to swap kennel life for the comforts of a cosy retirement home, where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by love.
Libby may be small in size, but she has plenty of personality and is looking for a family who can help her feel safe and settled. Libby is a sensitive older lady who can find certain aspects of the world overwhelming. She can be uncomfortable around other dogs and will sometimes use her voice to let them know that she would prefer some space! For this reason, Libby is looking to be the only dog in her new home. She has shown some worries around sudden movements, handling and new people so would be best suited to an adult only home with owners who can recognise her body language and give her the space and reassurance she needs. Libby is an affectionate girl once she knows you, she enjoys gentle hands on and curling up on your lap for a snuggle!
Libby has found kennel life stressful, especially when left alone, and can become vocal when feeling worried. However, she has shown she can settle and relax in quieter environments, which is encouraging for her transition into a home. She will need patient owner who are around most of the day and will gradually help her build her confidence with spending time alone. A private, secure garden is also essential for Libby, giving her a peaceful little sanctuary to enjoy some fresh air and downtime. Her new family will also need to support her with housetraining, allowing her plenty of opportunities to toilet outside.
With a little understanding, a comfortable place to snooze and her favourite tasty dinners, Libby is hoping to find a new family who will make her retirement years truly special!

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.
