More about Rebel
Meet our bouncy boy, Rebel!
This handsome ex-racer is ready to swap track life for a cosy home. We’re unsure if Rebel has ever lived in a home before, so he’s looking for understanding owners who are willing to teach him the ropes. Rebel can go to a home with first-time owners, as long as they’ve researched the breed and are ready to help him settle in. Due to being an ex-racer, Rebel will need to be kept on lead and muzzled when in public spaces.
Rebel is a sweet, confident boy who loves being fussed all over and is always excited to see his favourite people, often popping up for a cuddle! He’s relaxed during handling, happy to plod along beside you on walks, and settles nicely on his own. He’s also a fan of a good soft toy, and is often found entertaining himself by tossing them around his kennel.
Rebel has been friendly with the other dogs he’s met however does have a sexual side to him where he does like to sniff backends quite a bit, so he's currently best suited being the only dog in the home.
Rebel will need an enclosed garden where he can potter around off lead and burn off some energy. If you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky companion with a playful streak, Rebel could be your perfect match!

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.
