April is looking for an experienced dog owner who ideally have had bully breeds before. She would like to be kept company all day whilst she settles in and access to her own private garden, so she has a safe space to call her own. She is looking to be the only pet in an adult only home. April is a great girl who needs some time getting to know you. Her confidence is growing each day, but new people can still be frightening for her, particularly men, so she needs a kind and patient owner who understand that she will need time and won’t overwhelm her. Given how worried she is around unfamiliar people, she cannot be placed in a home where there are children, including visiting. She does like her food (especially peanut butter) and is quick to learn, which will help her make new friends as well as work on her basic training. When she builds that relationship with you, her daft and goofy side flourishes- she is comical and very entertaining! She loves to play with her rope toys or squeaky toys and won’t hesitate to let you know what she wants! She adores her favourite people and won’t think twice about getting on your lap for a cuddle despite her size. She doesn’t mind walking with other dogs and is generally unfazed by them though hasn’t shown much interest in wanting to interact with them. During her stay, April has been assessed by an independent breed assessor who has deemed she is not a banned breed. She is just a wonderful girl who will bring unconditional love to her new owner.

Arwen could live with children aged 10+ and will need to be the only animal in the home.Arwen is a lovely little lady who absolutely adores spending time with her humans and simply loves attention! She is full of beans and so will need an active family who can keep up with her and take her on lots of lovely adventures, keeping her both mentally and physically stimulated.Arwen has had a poor start to life, we have very little background information about her, but we do know that was previously left in a garden most of the time. Arwen has shown some signs that she may struggle when left alone and so she will need a family who are prepared for this and are able to slowly build up the amount of time she is left for.Arwen does also typically prefer to have space from other dogs and can, at times, be a little reactive. She will need a family who are confident and capable of managing this behaviour, whilst working on her training to help her learn some more appropriate responses.This sweet lady is such a pleasure to spend time with. She is so fun to be around and often has us laughing with her daft ways and her little tappy tappy toe dance as she sees you coming. She loves nothing more than human company – she is such a friendly girl – nobody is a stranger to Arwen! She would spend all day being made a fuss of and needs a family who are able to spend a lot of time with her.Despite the life Arwen has previously had, she still has so much love to give and more than deserves to finally be shown what the safety and security of a true forever home feels like, where she can be spoilt rotten and shown the love she should’ve always known from her forever family.

Badger is a handsome, fun, and affectionate lad who is looking for loving home willing to help him reach his full potential. He thrives on human company and loves to be close to his people. He can sometimes forget his size and would happily curl up on your lap for cuddles and kisses! He is a clever, responsive dog who is eager to please, making him highly trainable and an excellent candidate for general obedience, fun training classes, scent work, or dog sports. He can find it difficult to switch off at times, so his new family should be prepared to help him learn how to relax, with crate training potentially proving beneficial.While he is generally confident in the home environment and enjoys meeting people indoors, he can feel worried when approached by unfamiliar people out and about. He can also be a little sensitive to traffic, so he would be best suited to quieter walking routes away from busy roads. With the right support, he’s sure to make a fun, loyal and rewarding companion. Badger cannot be rehomed to certain areas in or around Bath.Can't adopt? Please donate to help pets in need today.

Are you right for Bailey?Orca and Bailey are a lovely pair of girls hoping to find a home they can go to together. They lived together in their last home and find themselves with us through no fault of their own. They have been very friendly with everyone they have met and could join a home with children of Secondary School age and older that are confident around bouncy dogs. Orca & Bailey are happy to say hello to dogs on walks but will need to be the only pets in their new home. They would like access to their own secure garden as they are both housetrained and would like somewhere to run around, play and burn off some energy. They are unsure around car travel currently so would like access to walks without the need to travel initially and would benefit on building confidence around the car.Is Bailey right for you?Orca & Bailey are a delightful duo with lots of love to give. Bailey is full of beans and would love to channel some of that energy into learning new things and going on interesting walks. They will make wonderful companions to their new family

Bailey is looking for an owner who can keep him company all day and it would be nice for him to have access to a garden. He is looking to be the only pet but could live with older children. Bailey is a happy, confident boy who likes saying hello to everyone he meets. He adores human contact and is at his most content having you close by. This does mean that he finds it difficult being on his own so he will have to have company all day- he would be a lovely companion to have around for a family or someone who works from home. Despite having only 3 legs, he gets around with no issue and enjoys his walks though does tire easily so he would like easy access to his own garden where he can be given plenty of mental enrichment whether that be a tasty filled kong or likimat. Bailey doesn’t quite know what to do with himself when he comes across other dogs though can make doggy friends with careful introductions. Bailey has had veterinary treatment during his stay at the Home. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

This is a special appeal for a special boy. We are looking for a long term foster home.Many of our supporters will recognise our boy, Bambi. He originally came to Foal in July 2020 at approximately a year old. He came to us from a pound, so we had no information about Bambi’s history. What we did know, was that this poor boy had not been loved and cared for. He was scared of us, underweight, had sore skin and, overall, he was in very poor condition.With a little time and patience, Bambi soon made friends with the staff and volunteers here. It became apparent that Bambi had allergies, so with medication and a good diet his health improved. Bambi was rehomed in September 2020 but was unfortunately returned after a short while. We learnt from this homing that Bambi struggled with visitors and scenarios which took him by surprise such as opening a car door.On Bambi’s return we started to notice his behaviour appeared to be a little ‘odd’. His eyesight was deteriorating, and his balance was off. We knew there was something else underlying going on and after discussion with our vets, with a delay due to Covid, we finally got Bambi to see a specialist in November 2021. Bambi was diagnosed with neurodegenerative brain disorder and mild hydrocephalus, which is water on the brain and sadly there is no treatment we can give Bambi to help with either of these conditions. He also has impaired vision. Due to his diagnosis and his behaviour becoming unpredictable, we decided it would be best for Bambi to become a sanctuary dog at Foal where he will have stability and be surrounded by people who adore him.Upon diagnosis, we were also informed that his life span would be affected, and he could only live for another two years but there is no way to guarantee this. Fast forward a year and a half, our boy is doing really well, he loves his people and is a very good boy with his favourite friends. There have been no significant changes from when he was first diagnosed and this is very encouraging.Although Bambi still has his little quirks, he has not shown aggression to those that he trusts. We understand him and respect his space when he wants it. He is a fun and loving boy and although has medical issues, is also very clever and loves training!As Bambi is doing so well, we do feel that he has the potential to settle into a new home. We are seeking the impossible, a very special somebody who can give up some time initially to become acquainted with Bambi and develop a trusting relationship with him as we do here at Foal. Homes must be adult only and free from any other animals. The team at Foal would support the transition to the home with as many visits as required with Bambi.We are looking for a foster home, so all ongoing medical issues will be covered by Foal and his new family would have our complete support for his whole life. This boy has done so well and as much as he is happy and settled here, we would love nothing more than for him to have his very own place to call home. If you have any enquiries regarding our beautiful Bambi, please get in touch with the dog team by calling us or emailing [email protected]. Thank you.

Bear came into our care after a tough past, arriving underweight and very shut down. But with a little time, patience, and love, his confidence has blossomed, his weight is up, and his sweet, gentle soul is shining through!Bear is a clever, independent chap looking for a quiet forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and pampered—just as he deserves.Gentle with a Cheeky Streak: Bear is a gentle soul at heart, but he does have a fun, cheeky side! He can occasionally get a bit over-excited, so he’ll thrive with adopters who can offer a calm, grounded environment.Football Enthusiast: Bear loves his play sessions! His absolute favorite toy is a football (though fair warning: he will pop it pretty quickly!).Independent Explorer: On walks, Bear loves to potter around off-lead, occasionally checking in with you for a quick fuss. He’s happy to politely say hello to other dogs before continuing on his way with you.Because of Bear’s history and specific needs, his ideal home should tick the following boxes:Experienced & Calm Household: Adopters should have previous dog experience to help manage his excitement and guide him with confidence.Family Setup: Best suited to a home with older, secondary school-aged children who understand his need for calm space.Pet Status: Must be the only dog in the home—he loves his independence and wants all your attention to himself!Location & Garden: A quiet area away from loud surrounding noises (which can worry him), featuring a private, secure garden with 6ft fencing.Routine & Company: Needs someone home for most of the day to help him settle into a home routine, refresh his house training, and gradually build up his confidence being left alone.On-Lead Confidence: He can be a little strong on lead at times, so his owners will need to be physically confident handling him.Bear takes a little time to warm up to unfamiliar people and build trust. His potential adopters will need to visit him at Millbrook a few times before taking him home.He might not bond instantly on day one, but once you win his trust, you’ll have a loyal, loving friend for life!
