Treacle







































Treacle is 4 yrs old and a much loved pet who's owners have had a change of circumstances and need to find her a new home. We aren't really sure about her parentage but we do know she needs help.
Treacle is 4 years old and is a bit on the timid side, she loves people she knows and once she gets used to you is as friend for life. She is wary of other dogs but doesn't show aggression, she would be better off being the only dog.
Treacle is in Nottinghamshire

STORM



Storm is a gorgeous girl of 11 months. She is only available because of owners ill health. She is a dominant dog so either needs to be an only one or to go with a submissive boy. She does pull on her lead and needs further training. She is crate trained. Her only fault is that she does occasionally shred her bedding, so inexpensive blankets etc would need to be used for her. She is fantastic with children and loves nothing more than spending time playing outside with the owners grandchildren.
Storm will need spaying in a few months time and her new owner MUST get this done then as a condition of adoption.
If Storm is the girl for you please complete the application form At the moment Storm is in the West Midlands.

HARVEY





Harvey is a gorgeous 3 year old lad who desperately needs a good home where he can lead an active life, he has been living on a farm and having the fields to run in and it would be great if he could find another home where he had the opportunity to get safe off lead exercise. He would be better off as an only dog although he may be ok to live with a submissive bitch. He is ok with most dogs he meets when on walks and did live for a while with another male AB, but we wouldn't put him in another home with a male dog as it did lead to problems. He is used to children and would make a great family pet. He is in Nottinghamshire at the moment.
Please complete the application if you think you could give Harvey the life he would enjoy.

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

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 ? :D

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.
