DOGS: NOCATS: NOCHILDREN: 15+Beautiful and super fussy, loving Belinda came into rescue via the dog warden and council pound in Carlisle after being spotted as a stray for at least 7 days. She arrived with no name and 13kilos in weight after a week of feeding up in the pound! She had a c-section scar and stitches still present (later removed and found to be not done by a vet due to the type of suture material used). She has come on leaps and bounds after expert care in her foster home and is thoroughly unrecognisable now! She has had mammary tumours removed since being in care and has experienced some anxiety issues which can be controlled with Reconcile as and when needed. Despite the appalling treatment by previous "owners", she is the most loving and friendly girl to people. Belinda needs to be the only dog and can be very reactive to them inside and outside of the home. She needs a cat free home too and can live with older teens 15+ and to be rehomed in a similar place to where she is that is quiet, possibly semi rural and not in a dog heavy area. She is mostly house-trained with occasional accidents (again this has been patiently worked on in foster care and she may revert temporarily to her old ways, when she moves). Belinda can be left for up to 5 hours but prefers to be loose in the home and needs a breed experienced home. A super girl with just the worst start in life imaginable - please do not overlook this beautiful soul xx

DOGS: NOCATS: NOKIDS: 5+Gorgeous, playful, friendly, typically stubborn Betsy is looking for a forever home after the sad passing of one of her owners. She is now in foster care and is absolutely wonderful. She is great with all people, loves kids and can be placed with dog savvy children over 5. She lived with an 11 yr old girl with special needs who Betsy completely adored. Betsy can be left for up to 4 hours, loves the car and loves short walks. Betsy can be reactive towards dogs and cats so needs a pet free home. She is mostly housetrained/ clean during the day but uses puppy pads overnight. Betsy is reportedly fit and well and was described by our orginal visiting volunteer as a "confident, easy to handle, happy and beautifully trained girl who loves her own space". A super girl who has loads of love to give. Are you her forever family? No breed exp necessary provided daily care is maintained x

DOGS: YESCATS: NOCHILDREN: 11+Gorgeous, cuddly, inquistive, smart, foodie Boris is looking for a new home after a change in family circumstances left his busy single parent Dad realising he needs more than he could give. Boris is now in foster care where he is described as "a sweet boy and getting more calmer and relaxed in his new environment everyday". Boris lives with another dog and is fine with him so can be placed with dogs of similar age and energy levels. He has previously lived with a cat but chases them on the street in foster care (and squirrels etc) on lead walks so needs a cat free home. He currently lives with children aged 11 and up so can be placed with 11+ Boris is fine to be left for many hours home alone but much prefers it when someone is home. He gets initially excited when he sees you first thing, when he gets ready for walks and at mealtimes. Boris responds to the energy in the room and mirrors his foster family's excitement or calmness equally. He can pull on the lead and continued retraining is advised, however, he learns quickly and is smart for a Bulldog. He is very food driven which is great for training. He loves being groomed and touched and adores cuddles. Boris is super clean house-training wise and loves walks and car rides. He is great with people but can get a little excited to begin with but soon calms down. He does not bark when left alone. He may need BOAS surgery in the future which BDR will cover at any time through one of our vet practices. A thoroughly lovely boy who enjoys lots of cuddles, are you his forever family? Breed experience and confident handler preferred xx SHOW AN INTEREST IN THIS DOG

DOGS: NOCATS: NOCHILDREN: 10+Placid, stubborn, loving, major cuddle monster Fleur is a lovely example of our beloved breed. She is looking for a new home after a change in family circumstances. She is currently kenneled as she cannot stay at home any longer through no fault of her own. Fleur is gorgeous and loveable and definitely prefers humans to other animals. She used to live with other dogs and had the occasional spat over toys and can get jealous so no dogs please although she is easily handled on walk if she comes across other dogs. She is very good around children and has been around very young children but isn't alwyas aware of her size so we would like her placed with children 10+ Fleur loves all people and can be left home alone for up to 5 hours. Fleur is not a fan of cats and will chase the given half the chance. She can be reluctant to get in the car and the previous owner reported that she needs lifting in, no aggression she just "puts the breaks on" Fleur is currently in our kennels and was previously kennelled for some time when with her previous owner so may need patient re-housetraining, however she only has miminal accidents and is generally kennel clean. Fleur could benefit from a lamb or fish based grain free diet in her new home to help with redness under her nose rope which needs daily cleaning. A very happy standard Bulldog with a wonderful personality and all the typical traits and characteristics of the breed, who simply adores attention. Loves to wag her tail and her bottom and has earnt the nickname Tina Turner in foster care for that very reason! Are you her very lucky forever family? No breed experience necessary in fact she would be a perfect girl for first time Bulldoggers xx

DOGS: OKCATS: NOT OK KIDS: 10+Beautiful, playful, loving, gentle and friendly Ginger is looking for her forever family. Her owner's health has deteriorated to the point where he feels he sadly can no longer give her what she needs. Ginger likes a cuddle but also enjoys her own space. She would really suit an older couple or a calm and quiet home with older children (visiting or resident) aged 10+ She has been around other dogs in the home and is fine meeting them on the lead. She far prefers the company of people over dogs, especially if there's something in it for her (ie a treat!) She is not currently being left but can tolerate 2 hours a day home alone and would just sleep if left with a chew or a toy. She can be ball obsessed which we have checked out on the home visit, our volunteers saw no issue at all around guarding. She is mostly housetrained but will likely need retraining as she currently has 24/7 access to the garden. She will need to settle slowly into a routine in a new home where access is not permanently available. Medically she has reportedly no known issues but she does require daily care on her ears and tail pocket, as many Bulldogs do. Her ears can become more of an issue for her in the summer. Ginger is fine in the car and could do long journeys having travelled abroad to Europe with her family a couple of years ago. No breed experience necessary for this thoroughly gorgeous girl who never barks and is described by her owner as "compliant and good as gold". Are you her exceptionally lucky forever family ?

DOGS: NOT OK CATS: NOT OK KIDS: 4+ Gorgeous Lady Gruffalo (aptly named because of her teeth!) is ready to meet her forever family. Lady G is a real fusspot who loves toys and can be playful but is generally a very chilled and friendly sugar plum. She came into foster care after her owner became homeless. She had been with his family for a few years after being rescued from a breeder/ hoarder. She has shown dog aggression whilst in foster care and has shown us confidently that she would definitely prefer to live alone! She is also best rehomed without cats as the kennel cat will testify! She is great with people, children over 4 and can be left home alone for 2-3 hours. Lady G can have the odd accident overnight and will need retraining after her kennel stay. She loves the car and has done long journeys with us, both to and from foster care and to vet appointments and surgeries much farther afield. Lady G has had two operations with us, one was a much needed dental and abscess removal and the other was BOAS (to help with her breathing) She has a small trachea so care in the warmer months will be required and weight gain needs to be avoided in order to help with emerging arthritis. A really gorgeous old lady who has stolen all of our hearts and who seeks the comfort and stability of a loving home. She was one of our Christmas sleepover babies and boy does this girl love a cuddle! Are you her super lucky forever family? She absolutely must be able to share your sofa (deal breaker!) and breed experience is preferred but not essential.

DOGS: NOCATS: NOCHILDREN: 13+Roxy has sadly been returned to us after 3.5 years by her owner due to this lady living alone and suddenly becoming very ill. Roxy is now in foster care in Cumbria and thriving there, she has lost a bit of weight and is agile, healthy and active. Roxy needs a dog free home as she can be very reactive both on the lead and in the home. She is untested with cats in the home too so no cats please. She loves older children so 13+ would be ideal for her. Roxy is very friendly, gentle and calm around all people. She loves the car and has done long journeys both with her previous owner and in foster care. Roxy is mostly housetrained and can have accidents if left too long, however, she is fine to be left for up to 4 hours. Roxy was on loxicom 'as and when' for arthritis in her previous home. She is doing well in foster care with short walks and doesn't appear to need it as she is not limping. She may need to go back on this in the future. It would be probably best for her new home to not have lots of steps in and out of the home. Roxy has a tight tail that needs regular care to keep it clean. We would like her to be rehomed to a Bulldog experienced or just a dog experienced family due to her reactivity towards other dogs. Roxy can be wary of loud noises like garage doors opening etc. She is incredibly friendly, has absolutely buckets of love to give and really loves a cuddle! Are you her very lucky forever family? x

Bulldog Rescue

DOGS: NOT OK CATS: RATHER NOT KIDS: 6+ Beautiful, stubborn, funny Willow is looking for her forever home after falling out spectacularly with the other resident dog. She requires a dog free home and may also be reactive outside (owner keeps her away from other dogs on walks). She is untested with cats so no cats please. She is brilliant with kids and would suit dog savvy children over 6+ She gets excitable in the car and is only used to short journeys, she would be able to go on a longer journey for rehoming purposes and this could be worked on to improve her tolerance in a new home. Willow loves people and whilst she behaves equally well with both sexes, she listens more to men. Willow dislikes having her nails clipped, being groomed and having her daily care routine. She is not currently being left very long home alone but would be ok for 1-2 hours. She will have accidents if left but there is no other adverse behavior seen when left. She is mostly housetrained and uses puppy pads at night and when she is left during the day which is not often. Continued training once settled into a new routine will be recommended, but may not resolve this. She can be anxious and may need BOAS surgery in the future. She reportedly has no other health issues. Breed experience preferred but not essential for this really gorgeous girl who just adores cuddles, are you her forever family? xx
