More about Teddy

Meet Teddy!

Teddy arrived at Battersea after he was found straying so we sadly have no history for his first few years of life.

Since arriving, Teddy has found kennels tough at times but has shown to be a friendly and affectionate boy with his people and excitable and playful when interacting with other dogs. Teddy can be a strong on lead, but he has shown to really enjoy getting his nose down and sniffing all the smells, plants and trees- having a good explore and playing with toys.

Teddy would benefit from having new owners who have some experience with bull breeds and or separation related behaviours. Would also benefit from having experience in handling strong dogs.

Although he can be overwhelmed by kennel life, he has been nothing but loving with staff, and true to his name, is a real Teddy-bear. He loves to be with his people and has so much love to give. He is fun, affectionate and playful and will make a wonderful companion to his future person/people. He is looking to be the only dog in his new home, and can live with teenagers. He will also need a quieter area away from the inner city and his own private garden.

If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about little Teddy, you can e-mail our rehoming team on rehoming@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.

We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual dog, 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/rehome/dogs

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.
