She can often be seen whizzing around the office looking for other office dogs to play with. Her owner, Kat, adopted Biggie from Battersea Dogs &amp; Cats Home. We asked her to tell us about the adoption process and the things to prepare for ahead of making the adoption decision.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-957 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/miss-biggie-smalls.jpg\" alt=\"miss-biggie-smalls\" width=\"322\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/miss-biggie-smalls.jpg 567w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/miss-biggie-smalls-276x300.jpg 276w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Have you always wanted a dog? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">I\u2019d wanted a dog for a few years but I was scared by the responsibility that I knew it would bring. I\u2019d never had any pets growing up so it was quite a big deal to have one of my own. When I started working at tails.com it was a no-brainer. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to finally adopt, what with the added support in the office from professional vets, trainers and people who really knew their stuff about dogs. I myself was on a steep learning curve on the subject of dogs and the fact that I\u2019d be able to take a dog into the office with me every day was definitely a key factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-961 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9452.jpg\" alt=\"img_9452\" width=\"287\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9452.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9452-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9452-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Why did you decide to adopt, not buy? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">There were a mixture of reasons actually. Partly, there were the ethics of wanting to re-home a dog that needed a home. In addition to that, I was worried about looking after a brand new puppy and thought that we\u2019d do better with a slightly older dog who\u2019d already learned some of the ways of the world. It\u2019s also a good opportunity to meet with dogs before adoption and see their temperament. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How did you choose a breed? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">I actually began my dog search looking for a Cavalier King Charles. I hardly knew anything about Yorkies before meeting Biggie. I\u2019d been a \u2018borrower\u2019 on borrowmydoggy.com for a couple of years before deciding to adopt my own dog, which was such great practise. I\u2019d \u2018borrowed\u2019 a Cavalier King Charles called Lily and my partner and I definitely fell in love with her. Biggie managed to convert us to Yorkies in the end though!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What were the changes to your daily life? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">She\u2019s just over a year old now, but she\u2019s still very puppy-like so she provides lots of entertainment. The most noticeable change to my life is just how many people stop to talk to me when we\u2019re out and about. It\u2019s not even just other dog walkers in the park. Biggie and I make friends on the bus to work almost every day. She\u2019s even been passed around the laps of other commuters on more than one occasion!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-960\" src=\"http:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9331.jpg\" alt=\"img_9331\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9331.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9331-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9331-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_9331-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>What preparations did you have to make before adopting a dog? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">There are some basics that you really need to have ready at home before you can bring a dog back with you. If you know the size of dog you&#8217;re likely to adopt, you can have a bed ready, bowls, food, a lead and collar and maybe even a couple of toys. Some shelters, like Battersea, prepare a lot of this for you. When we brought Biggie home, she came with a collar and lead as well as a newly engraved name tag with my number on, which was a brilliant touch from them. It feels like there&#8217;s a lot to organise when you first get a new dog, so this sort of support is so reassuring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Some shelters insist on sending someone round to assess the suitability of your home for dog adoption. We had someone come round to check our house and garden and it was super helpful. The representative spotted a couple of potential escape routes in our garden that a small dog could get through which we hadn&#8217;t spotted ourselves. Biggie\u2019s an escape artist so it was a good job we\u2019d had this checked!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-959 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_8483-1.jpg\" alt=\"img_8483-1\" width=\"278\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_8483-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_8483-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_8483-1-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/>The representative also gave valuable tips on things like which windows we shouldn&#8217;t open upstairs, since it would have been possible for an inquisitive dog to climb onto nearby furniture and jump out of them. Examples like this could be blockers that stop you being able to adopt a dog, so getting them fixed first will save time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why did you adopt from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We were registered with several rescue centres. Battersea was the most well-known and they did such a great job of calling me when new dogs came in, rather than me having to chase them up like I had to with some of the other shelters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Biggie had obviously been very loved prior to her being at Battersea. She was (and still is) such a friendly little dog, even to strangers. Her first family had gone travelling and couldn\u2019t take her with them. They must only have had her for about 6 months before giving her up. It was crazy really, we were very lucky to find her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-958 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_0431.jpg\" alt=\"img_0431\" width=\"329\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_0431.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_0431-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/img_0431-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Do you have any advice for those looking to adopt?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">I learned that adopting a dog takes a lot longer than expected. We applied for 10 dogs, from various shelters, before we got Biggie. We were never turned down &#8211; we just got pipped to the post by someone else each time. We could have adopted a dog sooner if we&#8217;d had fewer criteria for our first dog, but it&#8217;s so important to get the right dog for you and your lifestyle, and to make sure that you&#8217;re right for them too. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Battersea Dogs and Cats Home care for over 8,000 dogs and cats each year and never turn away a dog or cat in need of help.
