More about Winnie
Cockapoo Winnie, at Old Windsor, is looking for a patient and understanding home. Winnie is looking for an adult-only home who are willing to give her the time she needs to build trust and confidence in her new environment.
As an active girl, Winnie loves getting out on her walks and exploring the world around her. She particularly enjoys quieter woodland walks where she can sniff and explore. She also has a playful side and absolutely loves splashing in paddling pools and jumping through puddles whenever she gets the chance.
She can be nervous when meeting new people, but once she gets to know someone and feels comfortable, she is happy to enjoy plenty of fuss and affection from those she trusts. She can also be worried by handling and is looking for a new home who are committed to continuing the training she has already started. Her new family will need to be able to read her body language, respect her boundaries and allow her to build confidence at a pace that suits her.
Winnie is currently working on her social skills around other dogs and generally prefers her own company. She has been making good progress with the training put in place here, and her new home will need to continue this work and provide gentle, positive socialisation at a pace that she is comfortable with.
Winnie may need a little extra time and understanding, but for the right home she will make a wonderful companion. If you can offer her the patience, support and commitment she needs, Winnie is ready to start her next chapter.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Winnie you can e-mail our rehoming team on bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online rehoming application form, 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.
