More about Mac'aroni
Say hello to our big scrummy boy Mac'aroni!
This sweet boy was found straying, so we don't have much history of him prior to him coming into our care, but he has been a real charmer on site. Mac is a very large boy and has the strength to match but doesn’t seem to realise this and loves nothing more than climbing onto laps for cuddles.
Mac is very friendly with everyone he has met but may need some reminding to keep all his feet on the floor. Mac also has good social skills with other dogs, however, can be intense on greet and lacks some manners. He loves a fuss and has been a very good boy for all his vet checks and a groom.
Mac is looking for new owners who have some previous experience owning large breeds and have an understanding of how strong they can be, and the ability to manage this on lead. As a stray he will also need dedicated new owners who have the patience to introduce him to life in a home. Mac has struggled with his stress while in kennels so will be looking for a quieter home location with owners who will be able to be with him most of the time while he settles in, gradually building up his time alone once he is fully settled in.
Due to his strength on lead, Mac will need continued work on his loose lead walking. He will also need his own private garden for burn offs and offlead time as he works on his manners around other dogs. He can live with teens and up who are able to read him and give him space when he needs it, but would be too much for younger children as he doesn’t know his own strength. He will need to be the only pet in the household.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Macaroni, you can email our rehoming team on bbh.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual animal, 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/rehoming).
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.
