UPDATEWe are so sad to share that Bear’s foster-to-adopt trial hasn’t worked out. The reason is a resident cat.The family have been wonderful. They tried their best and fell in love with this gorgeous boy. Unfortunately, one thing became clear… Bear is not a good match with cats.When we first advertised Bear, we wrote “untested” because he had never lived with one before. But family was hoping it would work with our guidance.Sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, Bear became very fixated on the resident cat. He has never tried to hurt the cat or shown aggression, but his excitement is simply too intense. The family don’t feel they can safely leave them together, and keeping them separated has become extremely difficult.Yesterday, while Bear was on lead in the garden, he spotted a squirrel and pulled towards it. Sadly, this caused the elderly mum to lose her balance and fall onto the lawn. Thankfully she wasn’t injured, but it made the family realise that managing Bear’s excitement around the cat, walking him a lead even in a garden, wasn’t something they could safely continue.With very heavy hearts, they have made the difficult decision to let Bear find a home that’s a better match.Bear is a 4-year-old French Bulldog boy with a huge joyful heart and an even bigger love for people. Highlights • SIZE: Small but sturdy• NEUTERED: Yes• CHARACTER: Loving • Affectionate • Playful • Friendly • People-orientated• DOGS: Didn’t lived with dogs, can bark on a leash (excitement?), best as the only dog to avoid another rehoming.• CATS: Not suitable• CHILDREN: Best with older, dog-savvy children• HOUSE-TRAINED: YesBear is exactly the sort of dog who wants to be part of everything. He loves human company and simply enjoys being close to his people.When meeting new people, he may bark initially, but that’s not an aggression and he accepts visitors very quickly and is soon asking for fuss and attention.He walks well overall, although he can pull a little at the start of walks before settling down nicely.He already knows some basic commands, happily gives his paw and is eager to interact with his people.Bear absolutely loves playtime and adores his soft toys, carrying them around proudly and entertaining himself between cuddles.The main thing he still needs help with is learning how to disengage when something exciting catches his eye. Cats, squirrels and horses are simply fascinating to him, and because of that he needs someone willing to continue positive training and help him learn to focus back on his handler.The lovely thing about Bear is that he genuinely wants to be with his people and enjoys learning. He isn’t a difficult dog at all—he’s simply an enthusiastic one. Ideal HomeBear is looking for a pet-free home with people who have time for him and will be happy with his joyful and loving temperament.A secure garden would be wonderful, along with an active family who enjoy walks, playtime and making their dog part of everyday life.Most importantly, Bear is looking for people who’ll love him as much as he’ll love them. His current family summed him up perfectly: “Bear is a loving dog with character and just needs someone to love him back.”. ️ Important InformationBear will be neutered by the rescue before moving to his foster or foster-to-adopt home. He will need simple post-operative care while he recovers.Bear is healthy, microchipped, vaccinated and house-trained. He has no known medical conditions and neuteredName of pet you are interested inWebsite designed and provided by Go & Get Cyber Hype

I honestly don’t understand. Every time I look at Bruno, I ask myself the same question.How is he still waiting? How is this sweet, affectionate, beautiful young dog being overlooked again and again? Because everyone who actually meets Bruno falls in love with him. His foster certainly did.And yet month after month passes, while Bruno watches other dogs leave for their forever homes. Still waiting for somebody to finally choose him.Bruno is around 15 months old, a large young boy with a huge heart, an even bigger love to give and enough affection to last a lifetime.• SIZE: Large (62 cm / 27 kg)• NEUTERED: Yes• CHARACTER: Affectionate • Clever • Playful • Loyal • Eager to learn• DOGS: Friendly, playful, benefits from another medium-to-large female dog• CATS: Not suitable• CHILDREN: Dog-savvy children 10+• HOME LIFE: Loving family companionBruno was born during the war near the frontline. His mother was rescued by soldiers from a destroyed village on the frontline in Ukraine. Bruno and his siblings were later evacuated to safety and raised in foster care surrounded by kindness, other dogs and people who cared about them.He grew up loved. But somehow, despite everything he has to offer, he is still waiting for the family that is meant to be his own.Bruno is one of those dogs whose heart is always open. His foster says his favourite thing in the world is cuddling. In fact, if he thought he could get away with it, he would probably climb directly onto your shoulders and stay there forever.He adores people. He adores affection. He adores being involved in family life.At home he is calm, affectionate, housetrained and beautifully settled. He enjoys toys, learning new things and spending time with his humans.He is incredibly intelligent and loves training. Give him a treat, a game or a challenge and you can almost see his brain working.But Bruno is also still young. Like many young dogs, he needs guidance, structure and somebody willing to continue showing him the world at a pace he can process.His foster describes him as an amazing, sweet, goofy young lad who simply needs someone confident enough to help him grow into the dog he is already becoming.And every day he gets better. Every day he learns. Every day he tries his hardest. His foster says:“I will miss him so much when he goes. I’ve loved having him.” Honestly, that says everything.Bruno is looking for people who won’t just own a dog. He is looking for people who want a best friend.An active family who loves countryside walks, adventures, training, games and including their dog in everyday life.A home with another friendly, playful medium-to-large female dog would help him enormously and bring out the very best in him.Bruno needs a confident but kind handler. For most of his life, Bruno lived in very rural environments, so he had little exposure to busy roads, heavy traffic, crowds of people, running children, bicycles, scooters and other aspects of modern urban life.Because of this, he can still feel unsure around some strangers when out on walks. His future owner should be physically capable of handling a large dog and willing to continue using positive confidence-building and desensitisation games to help him navigate the world.This does not come from aggression. It comes from uncertainty and lack of previous experience. Like all dogs, Bruno can sometimes view unfamiliar things with caution. It is a natural survival instinct — if something is unknown, it may potentially be a threat.The wonderful thing is that Bruno is incredibly intelligent, eager to learn and responds beautifully to guidance. With a little time, consistency and a lot of heart, his confidence continues to grow. Rescue will be happy to provide ongoing support and access to professional behavioural guidance to help Bruno and his future family succeed together.Most importantly, he needs people who can see beyond the fact that he isn’t a tiny fluffy puppy anymore and appreciate what he truly is:A wonderful young dog with his whole life ahead of him. Bruno doesn’t need saving. He doesn’t need fixing. He simply needs somebody to finally see him. To meet him. To spend ten minutes with him. Because once people do, they always discover the same thing: Bruno is impossible not to love.And somewhere out there is the family who will wonder how they ever lived without him. ️Bruno is fully healthy, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Sadly, Coco’s foster-to-adopt trial hasn’t worked out. This is absolutely no fault of Coco’s. Her family describe Coco as “a very sweet and affectionate dog who enjoys cuddles”, but after living with her they feel she’d be happiest in a home with older children while she continues learning her manners and boundaries.Like many young, strong dogs, Coco can become a little overexcited. She may become a little mouthy during exciting moments—simply because she hasn’t yet learnt a better way to express herself. She also pulls at the beginning of walks (although settles well afterwards), would benefit from walking on a harness.None of these things make Coco a “difficult” dog. They simply tell us that she needs a family willing to continue the training she has already started and help her become the wonderful dog we know she can is.Coco is a beautiful 2-year-old Micro Bulldog girl with one of the sweetest, most loving natures you could ever wish to meet.• SIZE: Lower-medium, compact and sturdy (approx. 28 kg)• SPAYED: Yes• CHARACTER: Loving • Affectionate • Gentle • People-orientated • Sweet• DOGS: Best as the only dog in the home, friendly around dogs outside• CATS: Good with cats• CHILDREN: Best with older, dog-savvy children (12+)If there’s one thing everyone agrees on, it’s this…️ Coco absolutely adores people.She loves cuddles, loves being close to her family and quickly becomes a real Velcro dog, always wanting to know where her people are.She enjoys her walks, settles well once she’s had a chance to burn off her initial excitement and is happiest simply being included in everyday life.Coco is clever, eager to learn and responds well to kind, consistent guidance. Like many dogs who have experienced change, she is still learning some of life’s little rules, but she’s the sort of dog who genuinely wants to get things right.We think Coco would thrive with an active family who enjoy walks, training and including their dog in everyday life.A home with older children, no other dogs and people willing to continue her training would allow this lovely girl to become the incredible companion we know she can be.She isn’t looking for perfection.

We are not looking for just any home for Minnie. We are looking for the right one.Minnie has been in foster for a long time, not because she isn’t wonderful, but because she needs a very particular kind of person. Someone who understands that trust cannot be rushed. Someone who knows that behaviour is communication. Someone who appreciates that the deepest relationships are often the ones that take time to build.Minnie is not a plush or pre-programmed dog. She never will be. She is very intelligent, sensitive, observant and emotionally complex. She notices everything. She forms deep attachments and doesn’t give her trust away freely.But for the person willing to understand her, she offers something very special in return. This is not a dog who simply lives in your house. This is a dog who becomes your partner. Meet MinnieMinnie is a 2-year-old low-medium girl (approximately 47–48 cm / 20 kg) with a brilliant mind, a sensitive soul and an extraordinary capacity for loyalty. Highlights • SIZE: Low-medium (47–48 cm / 19 kg)• SPAYED: Yes• CHARACTER: Intelligent • Sensitive • Loyal • Affectionate • Deeply bonded to her people• DOGS: Excellent with dogs and gains confidence from them, needs friendly canine companion• CATS: Not tested, better no• CHILDREN: Adult-only home preferred• TRAINING: Supported by professional behaviourist and has made remarkable progress Rescue StoryMinnie’s life began with trauma. At just two months old, she was found on the roadside next to her mother, who had been killed by a car.She was little shy, submissive puppy, but open to people and world around when was adopted at 6 months old. But sadly her fears were misunderstood. Instead of being helped to feel safe, fear-based behaviours were managed through aversive methods, confinement and a muzzle rather than understanding and guidance. The experience set her back profoundly. Feeling frightened and misunderstood, Minnie reached a point where she had no choice but to try to protect herself. She lost trust in people and, at just 8 months old, was returned with the devastating label of an “aggressive dog” and the suggestion that she should be put to sleep.This is where her amazing foster family stepped in. What previous people had damaged in just a couple of months took many months of patience, understanding and dedication to rebuild.Over the past year in foster care, Minnie has slowly rebuilt her confidence step by step, supported by a professional force-free, positive reinforcement behaviourist. Through kindness, consistency and learning to feel safe again, she has made truly remarkable progress. ️The transformation in Minnie has been remarkable. She can now walk-through town environments and manage situations that once felt impossible for her. She learns quickly, responds beautifully to positive reinforcement and is incredibly connected to the people she trusts.One of Minnie’s greatest strengths is her relationship with other dogs. She is social, friendly and relaxed around them. In many situations she takes confidence from canine companions and often feels much safer meeting new people when another dog is present. A calm, balanced resident dog could make a huge difference to her future happiness.But the real magic of Minnie appears once trust is built. When she trusts you, she is affectionate, cuddly and incredibly loyal. She doesn’t simply live alongside her person. She connects.Not every dog does this. Some enjoy affection, some enjoy company. Minnie builds something deeper — a partnership based on trust, understanding and shared experience. The kind of bond that feels almost tangible. As if she is constantly tuned into her person, reading them, learning them, choosing them every day.“When she trusts you — that’s where Minnie truly shines. She is affectionate, cuddly and intensely loyal. She doesn’t just live alongside her person; she connects with them. She will make someone feel chosen.”She has a playful side too, loves her walks, enjoys learning and is always eager to engage with the people she loves. However, Minnie remains wary of strangers and needs thoughtful handling. She is not comfortable in a home with constant visitors, frequent social gatherings or unpredictable environments.This is not a dog you “fix.” This is a dog you understand.Minnie is looking for a person rather than simply a house. Ideally someone with experience of sensitive dogs or an understanding of canine behaviour and body language.She needs a calm, structured environment with predictable routines and minimal visitors.A rural or semi-rural location would suit her perfectly — somewhere with fields, woodland or quiet walking routes nearby, away from crowds and constant stimulation.Although she has made huge progress and can now cope with much more than before, she is happiest where life moves at a gentler pace.Another calm, balanced dog would be essential for her happiness. Dogs help Minnie feel safe in a way

MOON – FROM A LOST DOG WITH NOWHERE TO GO… TO AN AMAZING BOY WAITING FOR HIS FOREVER FAMILY Two weeks ago, Moon appeared out of nowhere.An unknown dog wandered into a private garden in Burton-upon-Trent. His finders tried to do the right thing, but their own dogs could not accept him. It was an emergency Sunday evening, the dog warden and RSPCA were closed, and the only alternative was to put him back onto the streets and despite Sunday evening we rushed thereAs soon as the dog came into our care: He was scanned for a microchip. The Dog Warden was notified and all appropriate legal procedures have been followed. The dog has been advertised as FOUND across a dozen of local groups.The statutory 7-day stray period passed. Actually twice this temp. Nobody has come forward for Moon. Sadly, we believe this beautiful boy was abandoned. And now he is for adoption.Moon is around 6 years old — although honestly, nobody would guess it! He looks and behaves like a much younger dog. He has beautiful clean teeth, endless enthusiasm, a playful spirit and so much happiness for life. The only thing that gives away his age is his wonderful balance and calmness. He is lively and joyful, but at the same time incredibly well-mannered and emotionally balanced.• SIZE: Large (approx. 60–63 cm)• AGE: Around 6 years• NEUTERED: No (will be arranged by rescue)• CHARACTER: Loving • Gentle • Social • Happy • Balanced • Affectionate• DOGS: Loves other dogs• CATS: Unknown• CHILDREN: Likely suitable with older children due to his sizeHonestly… Moon is the kind of dog who steals hearts. His foster family says: “Moon is the kindest, sweetest boy you could ask for. It’s honestly hard to put into words just how special our beautiful foster boy is.”When Moon first arrived, he needed a little time to get used to wearing a harness. Now he absolutely loves seeing it because he knows it means walkies! He may pull for the first few moments because he is excited, but then he settles into the sweetest little trot and enjoys his walk like the gentleman he is.Moon is a true social butterfly. He loves meeting people. He loves meeting dogs. He greets everyone with a little hello kiss and seems convinced that every stranger is simply a friend he hasn’t met yet. He is also wonderfully gentle taking treats and already understands “gentle” — something that says a lot about his lovely nature. After everything he has been through, Moon still looks at the world with happiness and trust.Moon is looking for a family who will treasure him. A home where he can enjoy walks, adventures, cuddles and being included in everyday life.As he is still waiting for neutering, we would ideally love his foster-to-adopt family to be reasonably local to Burton-upon-Trent/Lichfield area, so we can support his journey and arrange his vet care. His foster family say it best:“Moon is one very special boy and deserves a family who will give him all the love, all the walks, all the cuddles and all the happiness he deserves.”We couldn’t agree more. Two weeks ago Moon had nowhere to go. Today he is safe. Now we just need to find the family who will make sure he never feels unwanted again. Health InformationMoon is microchipped. Rescue will cover his vaccination course. He is not yet neutered, and neutering will be arranged by the rescue.Name of pet you are interested inWebsite designed and provided by Go & Get Cyber Hype
