We want to find the right pet for you

If you have already registered to rehome please log in

At Battersea, our experts take the time to get to know more about you and what you’re looking for in a dog or cat. Because making the best possible matches matters to us. So, although rehoming a rescue could take a little more time, a little more patience and a little more effort - the end result will be more than worth it.

Please note:

Battersea is taking the threat posed by COVID-19 extremely seriously and working hard to ensure we are able to continue to take in and provide essential care for all the dogs and cats at our centres.

Customers who wish to rehome a dog or cat are advised to fill out an online rehoming application below. Our staff are working hard to respond to rehoming enquiries and to rehome our dogs and cats following Government approved guidelines regarding social distancing.

Battersea relies upon donations to raise the vital funds needed to keep our centres running, and now we need the continued support of the public to ensure we can continue to be here for every dog and cat. If you can help, please make a donation.

Learn about the process

Registering your details is the first step of our process:

Register online:
We will start by asking you a series of questions related to your current living circumstances as well as your preferences. This process should take no more than 15 minutes and will help us find the best animal for you.
Receive automated reply:
To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of 160 years’ rehoming experience, our staff expertise and analytical tools. After registering, you will receive an automated response from us with the next steps you need to take.
Speak with a rehoming team member:
When we think that we have an animal that’s a good match for you, we will ask you to arrange a callback. You’ll then speak with one of our expert rehoming team, just to get a few more details about your application and any specific requirements. This should take no longer than 30 minutes.
Rehome:
Once you have had a chance to virtually meet your new potential pet, we’ll arrange a visit to a Battersea centre or we'll deliver your new dog or cat to you. You'll be provided with expert pet advice and support to help your new friend settle in.

Before we begin

If you decide you do want to rescue a Battersea dog or cat (an excellent decision!) we ask that you fill out an application form. Before we begin, please can you confirm that you have read and understood the following:

We always ask customers to keep an open mind and see the form as a general application to rehome, not an application for a specific animal. Every rescue at Battersea has a unique character, quirks and lots of love to give — and it’s our job to help you find the one that’s perfect for you.

To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of 160 years’ rehoming experience, our staff expertise and analytical tools. It does mean that you will receive automated responses from us — but rest assured should we find an animal we think would be right for you, then one of our team will be in touch to support and guide you through the whole process.

Please confirm that you have read and understood the above before continuing.
