More about Maple
Meet marvellous Maple! This sweet little lady may be small in confidence right now, but she has plenty of potential to blossom into a wonderful companion with the right family by her side. As a Belgian Malinois cross Rottweiler, Maple is a clever girl with a bright future ahead of her. She is looking for patient, understanding owners who can help her find her paws and discover just how exciting the world can be!
Maple has shown she can find new experiences a little worrying. She will need a family who can take things at her pace, offering plenty of reassurance, positive experiences and gentle encouragement as she grows in confidence. Given her breed mix, Maple’s new owners will need to research both Belgian Malinois and Rottweilers and be prepared to provide plenty of physical exercise, mental enrichment and ongoing training as she develops. With the right guidance, we hope to see this lovely lady’s personality really shine!
Maple has shown some worry around other dogs, so she would benefit from patient introductions and opportunities to build positive associations at her own pace. She could potentially live with a calm, confident dog (they must be neutered and fully vaccinated) who can show her the ropes and be a reassuring role model, following successful introductions here at Battersea. Due to her sensitive nature, Maple is looking for a home who can recognise when she needs a little space and allow her to approach interactions in her own time. With plenty of patience and consistency, Maple has all the potential to grow into a fantastic four legged friend!
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Maple, you can e-mail 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.
