• Is anyone on the Battersea waiting list atm?

    I've registered but by the sounds of things could be waiting a very long time. Think it's the same for RSPCA, Dogs Trust and Blue Cross.

  • We registered with the usual suspects in November 2016 and they said they had a queue of 3 months due to Christmas. I expect the wait is longer this year given Covid has inspired lots of pet ownership?

    You can try more specialist rehoming charities: older greyhounds, or foreign street dogs, etc?

    We adopted Maurice through Ibizian Hound Rescue and can't recommend them enough.

  • My girlfriend and I registered with Underdog International a few weeks ago. heard back about a dog that they thought would suit our circumstances at the beginning of last week, met her and her foster parent on Thursday and have a video call on Saturday to check that our home is suitable for her. It's all going very quickly, could be picking her up next week if all goes to plan!
    Their communication has been excellent throughout, would recommend.

    Edit: one of the reasons we chose Underdog International is because they tend to say whether or not the dog has been tested with cats. As much of a twat our cat can be, we wanted to make sure that we got a dog he'd get along with.
