More about Newton
Newton is a young Lurcher cross with bundles of energy who will need active new owners who are willing to take on a high energy dog. He is based at Battersea Old Windsor.
Newton is a very affectionate dog with those he knows well but he can be worried when meeting new people, particularly men. He will benefit from owners who can help build his confidence by introducing him to new people at his own pace and walking him in quieter areas where he feels more comfortable.
In his previous home, Newton found being left alone difficult and struggled when being on his own. Because of this he is looking for a home with more than one adult where someone is around most of the time and where any time spent alone can be built up gradually.
Around other dogs, Newton can sometimes become vocal and frustrated, particularly when he's unable to greet them. He has already been working on his training and has been making good progress. Once he meets other dogs he is generally friendly and social and Newton could potentially live with another dog of a similar size who could act as a calm and positive role model.
Newton enjoys playing with toys, especially squeaky ones and will happily chase after them. Using toys will be a good way for Newton to make friends with new people as well.
Newton also struggles with vet visits and can find being overhandled uncomfortable. His new owners will need to be committed to continuing his training in these areas.
Newton is a loveable boy that that will make a rewarding project for his new owners. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Newton, 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 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.
