More about Pippin
Everyone, meet our special little Pippin! She came to us a stray and has been a little worried of all the new things she has to learn about the world. Pippin is a real sweetheart and once she gets to know you, she is more affectionate and allows and enjoys gentle fuss and company from her trusted people. She is a real foodie, and we try to engage that terrier brain with different types of enrichment to slow down her pace of eating and get her thinking!
Pippin has shown to be very worried at times when meeting other dogs but does gain confidence quickly and likes the company of calm, steady, similar sized dogs who aren’t too playful with her. The same can be said for people, Pippin is very unsure meeting new people and finds all new things very overwhelming. Pippin needs a calm, sensitive and patient approach for her to warm up, trust and make friends.
Pippin is looking for an understanding, steady home with the time and dedication to help her flourish. She could live in a home with older teens who have an understanding of body language and can give her the space and respect she needs in moments of uncertainty. We think Pippin could live with another dog, assuming they are gentle, calm and respectful of her. She could also live with a cat and would likely be quite scared of one so careful introductions would be the best way forward!
Pippin needs time to get used to everything, a quieter location away from busy roads, a family who are able to spend most of their time at home as she settles in and she needs a private garden where she can build up her bond with her new family before heading out into the big wide world. She will need support with toilet training and learning the basics. She is a young terrier with lots of energy and a garden space will be ideal for her to burn off her energy whilst not surrounded by busy or loud environments that she could find too much.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Pippin, 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.
