More about Samwise
Samwise is a sweet-natured and playful Bull Lurcher who loves spending time with people and enjoying their company. He has been a frequent visitor to our office spaces during his stay, where thoroughly enjoys a fuss. He often leans into people for affection and enjoys being part of whatever is going on around him.
As a young and active boy, Samwise will enjoy a home that can provide a good balance of physical exercise and mental enrichment. He loves exploring his surroundings and using his nose on walks to take in the world around him. A home with a secure private garden will allow him to have some off-lead time and a place to run freely.
He has shown that he can walk past other dogs nicely but will often choose to keep to himself rather than seek out interaction. Due to his lack of confidence, he is looking to be the only dog in the home.
Samwise has also shown interest in chasing wildlife during his stay and can become a little excited by this. His new owners should be mindful of this and be prepared to manage his responses with ongoing training.
Although Samwise has shown that he can settle nicely on his bed during quieter periods, he can become a little more restless at busy periods. He will benefit from a home that can offer him a comfortable space to relax and be prepared to build his time alone up slowly.
For owners looking for an affectionate, playful and active companion, Samwise has plenty to offer.

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.
