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

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

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.
