More about Sherbert
Sherbert is a delightful young Lurcher with a happy demeanour and a zest for life. He is enjoying the sunshine at our Old Windsor Centre.
Sherbert enjoys nothing more than a stretching his legs, running and getting zoomies in our paddocks. He really likes to be out on walks and exploring the world around him. A private garden and long walks will provide Sherbert with the perfect structure to manage his energy levels as a young Lurcher. He's a bright boy and has learnt some good basics in a short space of time - including roll over, wait, bed to name a few.
At this time Sherbert is to be the only dog in his new home as he hasn't mastered the art of socialising with other dogs as yet. He is friendly and excitable around other dogs but hasn't quite learnt to read when other dogs have had enough play.
Sherbert enjoys meeting people and has greeted everyone he has met her at Old Windsor with a wagging tail and a cute wiggle in his step. He can jump up at times but listens well to an 'off' cue. He really craves attention and hands on fuss, we think if he could he would be a lapdog.
Other than walks and zoomies, Sherbert's other joys in life are toys, which he will happily play with on his own and food! He has shown some guarding of his food so his owners will need to be aware of this and manage it. He has been housetrained previously, but may need some reminders as he settles into a home.
Sherbert is a fun-loving boy who will bring plenty of love and smiles to a new home. He would benefit from going to an active home that will enjoy taking him on longer walks.

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.
