Kiara has some kind of spine defect which hasn't been fully investigated.. Kiara looks fine but after a lot of excercise she will limp. She is not on any permanent medication. Vets have advised minimal excerise about a 10 minute walk a day.

Bella

This beautiful girl is 8 years old. The first 2 years of her life were not good and the present owners saved her from a bad situation, but now Bella appears to be jealous of their young daughter. Therefore we are looking for an adult only home for her to live out the rest of her life. She is also not good with other dogs, so needs to go as an only one. She is a very loving and lovable girl. If you can give her a home please complete the application

Poppy

Poppy is approx 12/13 weeks old, her mother was an American bulldog but we don't know what he father was. She isn't a huge pup so we think she will be smaller than an AB when fully grown. She is well behaved for her age although very playful, but still enjoys cuddles too. She is fully innoculated.
We will expect Poppy's new owners to take her to training classes and she will have to be spayed when the time is right.
If you think you can offer Poppy a home for the rest of her life please complete the application form

Bo

Bo is a healthy 3 year old boy who loves the company of humans and enjoys playing and training. He is castrated and innoculated. He did live with a female dog at one time but isn't overkeen on strange dogs, although he did receive special training so that he learned to ignore the neighbours dogs.
Bo is living with young children at the moment, so we will accept applications from families with children who know how to behave around dogs and show them the respect needed.
If this gorgeous lad is for you please complete the application form

Max

Max is a gorgeous English bulldog cross, we rehomed him last year but unfortunately the owners circumstances changed and she is no longer able to provide him with the level of exercise he needs. Max is around 2 years old and has very high energy levels, his original owner regularly took him jogging and cycling, he is trained to run alongside a bike with the lead attached. If he doesn't get this level of exercise regularly he is like a caged lion! His normally good behaviour in the house will change as he tries to get rid of his pent up energy, and although it is just him playing, to you it will be naughtiness! He is also an escape artist and can easily clear a 5 foot fence, so you need high, secure fences and even then you need to keep an eye on him.
We will not rehome him near a busy road as a precaution. He will chase cats.

Now the good side of Max! He is the most lovable boy you can find, he loves cuddles and he is especially good with children. He is a handsome lad and you just can't help but love him, and as long as he gets his exercise he is well behaved. He gets on with most other dogs and could happily live with a bitch.

If you could offer Max the kind of life he needs please complete the application

GUS rehomed

REHOMED
Gus is a much loved boy and is only available because his self employed owner is unable to spend as much time with him as he really needs.

Gus, born 22/11/2007, which makes him 19 months old. His father was a british bulldog and mother an American bulldog, he is red, white and black. He is castrated and , chipped.

He is very soft for a big boy and doesnt bark unless asked to, he is brilliant on and off lead.

Unfortunately Gus has epilepsy which is kept under control by 2 tablets a day, since being on medication he has not had any fits.

He is great with kids and other dogs, loves cuddles, he also snores and sleeps quite a lot! He can run really fast and hilarious to watch he loves being in the car. Theres nothing that he doesnt really like apart from he sometimes barks at the hoover.

Please don't let the fact Gus has epilepsy put you off this gorgeous lad, it is well under control and there is no reason as long as he has his medication correctly and is loved and looked after, for him to restart having fits. We would support you with any help and advice throughout Gus' life as we do all our dogs, so you won't be left on your own.

If you think you can offer the home Gus needs with love, time and stability pleqase complete the application form

He has been in kennels for a while and would love a home and family of his own.

BAILEY

Bailey is 18 months old and is a normal, healthy young Am Bulldog . He needs an owner that can give him the exercise he needs and is willing to continue with his ongoing training. He loves going for walks but does tend to pull on the lead if he sees another dog or a cat, he doesn't show any malice towards them, just a strong interest!
He is not yet castrated and it will be expected of his new owner to get this done.
I think it is best that Bailey is an only dog and that children are over 10 years of age.
He is in the S. Yorks area.
If you would like to add Bailey to your family then please fill in an application form.

COOPER

Cooper has been in foster now for several weeks, during this time his foster family have worked very hard with him and although he has come on in leaps and bounds he is still just a very big baby!!
Cooper was thrown onto the streets by his owner and he wouldn't take him back, luckily the person who found him knew about ABR and this gave him a second chance. He was very unruly to start with and had no manners whatsoever. He is still no angel and will need a firm hand and a continuation of his training regime.
So that you understand his issues I am putting word for word the latest update by his fosterer as it is important that the next home he has is his last and that you know as much about him as possible;

Cooper is still here in North Wales with us and........ well, where do I start ?

There isn't a dog that I have fostered in the past 7 years that has made quite such an impact as this dog !! He makes me laugh and he makes me cry - often at the same time !!

Cooper hasn't got any manners at all......he is learning now that he cannot use his size and ugliness to barge his way happily through life doing as he pleases, although he will try to get away with murder if he can !
He will need training classes with whoever adopts him as Cooper pretends he has ADHD and conveniently 'forgets' what he has been taught......unless there is food involved and he miraculously remembers everything !!
Cooper is a kleptomaniac and will steal and destroy. He will steal cushions / shoes / coats / leads / food - the list is endless - he has even eaten Kevs mobile phone !
He doesn't swallow but there isn't much evidence left of whatever he has nicked !!

He has massive energy levels and loves walks....I mean he LOVES to be out and about.
We walk him on a halti and he is incredibly well behaved but remove this and you will lose an arm if he takes off !
We exercise him on a 10ft lunge line if there are other dogs / people in view but his recall is pretty good on a one to one basis !
He isn't keen on the car and has a hissy fit as soon as he gets in and barks for a good 10 minutes until he realises he isn't coming out. Annoying but can be worked on.
He also does this occasionally in his cage but is getting much better - bit of a temper tantrum !
He is caged at night for our sanity and never disturbs in the night, despite our other dogs moving about.

His temperament is to die for.
He is INCREDIBLY affectionate and will lean / sit on you constantly which is very daunting for non-doggy people or people under 5' tall !!
He can be hand shy at times but is getting much better and if he doesn't want to move and you go to get hold of his collar he will 'force the issue' and try and grab your arm.
THIS ISN'T A BITE.....but it is something new owners need to be aware of as in a smaller dog it could be seen as snapping...with Cooper it is just mouthing and his way of getting you to stop. We don't stop and he has always backed down.
I think Cooper has been trained before by force ( not you Leanne obviously ) but he works much better when he is persuaded and left to work things out himself !! Food will always work to train Cooper !!

Cooper can't be 'wound up' especially by men who think they can wrestle with him !! You will end up very bruised as although he thinks its fun it won't be when you are trying to remove his mouth from your arm !!
He is wonderful with every dog he meets but they can often be scared stiff of him and most do tend to snap at him.
He just looks confused but never retaliates.
He does get a little unsure in certain situations and can be a bit of a wuss !

He hated the ice last week and got to one side of the patio and wouldn't come back. Kev had to go and 'rescue' him !
Same with wind....he just doesn't 'get it' !!

But most of the time he loves everything and will crash through life making you laugh......pinching fruit from my fruit bowl, falling in ponds full of slime, knocking over the Xmas tree, throwing his toys around the garden and almost breaking the kitchen window, the list is endless !!
He is adorable and I love him to pieces but my god, you'll need a lot of patience and a bloody good sense of humour to take on this muppet !!


If you are still reading this and still think that Cooper is the dog for you then I will be very happy to hear from you. PLEASE remember that it will take Cooper, as with most rescue dogs, a while to settle in and you will need to be patient while he does so. His foster family will be happy to answer any questions you may have as they are also very keen for him to find the right home.
