More about Stella (& Luna)
Meet the prettiest pair, little Luna and Stella!
These sweet little angels arrived at Battersea as strays meaning we have no information regarding their history except for that they are from the same home. Luna and Stella are attached at the hip and love each other very much. They are often found snuggling up together in bed and Stella is Luna's shadow following her wherever she goes. They are a wonderful bonded pair who are looking to be rehomed together.
Luna and Stella are very friendly and affectionate with people. They both love to curl up on their handlers lap. Luna is quite the attention seeker but Stella doesn't mind so long as she gets some cuddles now and then! Luna is confident around new people and will seek them out, Stella will follow her and mimic her big sister's behaviour.
They both love all the fuss but find more intrusive handling a little frightening. Stella especially has a sensitive side around handling including around her walking gear. She often tries to wriggle or run away. Due to their sensitive side around handling, if to live with children, they would prefer living with teenagers who will respect their space.
Stella is only a very little lady, at under 2kg, so the outside world can be quite frightening and overwhelming. Due to this, the pair would prefer to live away from the inner city with access to a private garden where they can adjust to their new environment at their own pace.
Luna and Stella are a very bonded pair and are not currently looking to add a third dog to their pairing. Luna is more confident around other dogs compared to Stella. When out on walks they can be quite barky towards other dogs and build off each other's nerves. Individually they both have managed to make some dog friends on site. They may not want to live with any other dogs but they will benefit from having some steady (and tolerant!) friends in the nearby area to help them build their confidence. However, the pair could live with a dog savvy cat.
This little celestial pair are now looking for their forever home! They will provide endless love and affection to anyone willing to take on two dogs who will provide double the love.

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.
