Antoine

West Sussex
SexMale
Age6 years
BreedFrench Bulldog

Are you right for Antoine?Antoine (affectionately known as Ant) is a sweet, quirky little chap with bundles of personality and love to give. This charming 6 year old French Bulldog needs a calm home where he can enjoy all the love and attention he deserves. He can be a little reserved with strangers, but with time, patience, and a calm approach, his affectionate and cheeky side shines through. He’s a playful boy who adores his toys and his food even more! Around the home, he’s a gentle soul who settles beautifully and makes an excellent office buddy - he’d be the perfect companion for someone who works from home but wants a little companion who's content chilling whilst you work. Imagine curling up on a cold autumn day, snuggled on the sofa with Antoine by your side - sounds perfect to us!Is Antoine right for you?Ant would thrive in a peaceful environment with minimal visitors, a predictable routine and a secure garden for off lead playtime. He can be overwhelmed in busy places or around traffic so Antoine would prefer his home to be in a rural or residential setting with access to quiet walking routes. He isn’t a high energy dog and would be perfectly content with short strolls along the beach, followed by long, cosy snoozes on the sofa. Antoine travels well in the car, which is ideal if needing to drive him a little further to reach a quieter walking spot. His ideal home is an adult only space where he can be the only pet and soak up every ounce of attention he can get! His adopters should be patient and willing to let him build trust at his own pace, with support from our training team to continue the positive progress he’s made.

BreedLabrador

Are you right for Asia?Meet Fern & Asia, a pawfect pair of young gorgeous girls looking for their forever home where they can continue life side by side. Having grown up together, these lovely girls share a really special bond and are looking for adopters who will cherish them both. Fern is wonderfully affectionate and doesn't take long to show her softer side, happily leaning in for cuddles and never saying no to a tasty treat - especially if there's a hot dog on offer! Asia is the more playful of the two and she could happily play a fun game of tug or fetch all afternoon. She loves bouncing around and having the zoomies but also has a sweet, affectionate side. Together they're a delight, content simply enjoying each other's company.Is Asia right for you?An adult-only home in a quiet residential area or small town would suit Fern & Asia best, where they can settle into a predictable routine without the noise of busy surroundings. As they can be worried by unfamiliar people and sometimes feel unsure around other dogs, they'll need to be the only pets in the home and have patient owners who understand that trust takes time and that introductions to visitors should be carefully managed. Both girls enjoy moderate exercise and are happy to hop in the car for countryside walks or trips to the beach, while Fern will benefit from confident handlers who can manage her enthusiasm on the lead!

He absolutely loves to play and loves other dogsThere is however a BIG BUT - he is absolutely terrified of travelling in a vehicle - he arrived shut in the dark in a small purpose built travel cage in the back of a Battersea van and has never got over this.

Belinda, a 5 years old female Bulldog available for adoption from Bulldog Rescue in West Sussex

Belinda

West Sussex
SexFemale
Age5 years
BreedBulldog

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

Bertie, a 4 years old male Bulldog available for adoption from Bulldog Rescue in West Sussex

Bertie

West Sussex
SexMale
Age4 years
BreedBulldog

DOGS: OK CATS: OK (dog savvy)KIDS: 8+Gorgeous, handsome, boisterous and playful, Bertie is looking for a new home after a family split and move. He is a super looking boy who loves life! His family feel he deserves to settle into an ideally breed experienced new family, who can give him the time he needs and deserves. Bertie is used to other dogs and as he loves to play thinks they're great! He can be too much for smaller or more delicate breeds and would really thrive in the company of other Bulldogs. Being placed with dogs who match his age, energy levels and size would suit him well. He is great with people and loves fuss and attention, he has a tendency to jump up to say hello which may require further training. Bertie is very energetic and takes a while to calm down but is super loving and friendly. Bertie can get excited when playing with toys and can mouthe a little, he had been playing tug with his owner which we have suggested is stopped moving forward, in order to avoid overly boisterous play.Bertie doesn't live with children currently but was living with children of around 8+ in his previous home. He could knock little ones over inadvertently. Bertie lives with a confident cat, again he is a boisterous dog and can chase sometimes, but he could be placed with a similar dog-savvy cat in his new home (or one that lives outside or upstairs).Bertie is fabulously clean in his home and can be left for 4-5 hours a day, displaying no destructive behaviour. Bertie doesn't generally bark other than to tell you something, like a cushion or a box, has been moved, or someone is at the door.Bertie also loves the car and can do long journeys of up to 4 hours. Bertie has seen horses on the lead and can bark if they get too close. He can be generally wary of new things until comfortable with them. This super looking boy is reportedly healthy but his tail pocket does require daily cleaning and attention in order to avoid it becoming sticky. Should he require tail amputation in the future, BDR will cove the cost of this at one of our vets. Bertie is described by his owner as: loving, playful, friendly, easygoing, goofy. Are you his forever family? Breed experience preferred but not essential.

Holbrook Animal Rescue was founded in 1992 after a local family began rescuing horses and ponies at risk of slaughter, eventually caring for over 160 equines and offering lifelong sanctuary to those in need. Guided by the belief that every animal deserves kindness, safety and respect, the rescue later expanded to help dogs, small pets and injured wildlife before gradually focusing primarily on dog rescue. Still proudly family-run, Holbrook combines hands-on practical care with deep compassion, providing rehabilitation, rehoming and sanctuary for animals who have nowhere else to turn.
