More about Otis
Meet our handsome Otis!
Otis is a lovely boy who is looking for a new home where he can relax and enjoy life. He has a lovely history from his previous home and has found coming into kennels very difficult. His new family will need to give him time to settle and adapt to his new home and routine.
Otis has a wonderful character, he is affectionate, loving and fun. He is also a keen learner who enjoys training and is eager to please, so is looking for new owners who will enjoy continuing training and taking him out for adventures.
Due to his thick coat, Otis will need regular grooming to keep him comfortable. He can be sensitive when touched in some areas, so his new owners will need to continue building positive associations with handling and help him become more comfortable with grooming.
Otis enjoys meeting other dogs and has shown great recall when around them. He would love having some calm, respectful doggy friends to meet on his walks. A typical spaniel, he particularly enjoys using his nose to sniff and explore. He also loves the beach and water!
Otis would love his own private garden and would be best suited to a quiet location with access to natural walking routes. Otis is a sweet and fun character who will make a wonderful companion.
This handsome lad isn't suited to living with dogs or cats at this stage but could possibly live with sensible teens that are keen to get involved in his training.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Otis, 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.
