More about Peach

Meet Peach, our energetic and lively Shepherd cross!

Peach is a young girl who is full of life, enthusiasm and personality. She arrived at Battersea as a stray, so we have no history of her previous life or how she may be in a home environment. Peach is looking for active owners who can give her plenty of appropriate outlets for her energy, alongside the guidance and training she needs to blossom into a well-mannered adult dog.

Peach is a fun-loving girl who can sometimes forget her manners and get a little overexcited, including forgetting to keep all four paws on the floor! She would be best suited to living with teenagers or older who are confident around larger dogs and can play an active role in her daily training.

Peach enjoys meeting other dogs and can greet them in a friendly manner, but she has shown that she can become worried if another dog is too playful or boisterous. For this reason, she would prefer to be the only dog in the home, although she would love to have some friendly doggy companions to enjoy regular walks with. We have no history of Peach around cats, so she may be able to live with a very confident, dog-savvy cat who is used to larger and more boisterous dogs, following careful introductions.

Peach is looking for a home away from the inner city and will need access to her own private garden where she can enjoy some freedom to zoom around! She absolutely loves her tennis balls, and her new owners will need to continue helping her learn to exchange them nicely and understand that people don't always have to give up the ball!

Peach is ready to start her next chapter and has so much love and enthusiasm to give. With the right guidance, training and plenty of outlets for her energy, she is sure to become a loving and loyal companion for a family lucky enough to have her.

If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Peach, 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 in question

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.
