Belle is a 2 year old beautiful brindle Bull Terrier, unfortunately she has not had the best start to life.

Belle suffers from Atopic Dermatitis, which is an allergy relating to environmental substances, this is a life long condition, which can be controlled but not cured outright. She also suffers from dry eye, which goes hand in hand with skin problems.

We are launching a appeal for Belle to raise the funds necessary to have her allergy tested, this will enable us to determine her allergys get her on the right medication and diet to improve her condition.

Belle really is a adorable little girl who deserves the best, she is coming out of her shell and loves everyone she meets, both human and doggy, her favourite toy is a ball and she likes to carry a stick when she is out walking.

Please help us to help Belle and hopefully find her a wonderful forever home.



Belle is featured on the 5 o'clock show on channel 4 on Thursday 15th July

Marley is much improved, a big thank you to everyone who donated to his appeal to make this possible,he is now looking for his special home. Keep an eye on our Blog for any more updates.

As we get busier with more and more dogs needing homes, instead of turning them away we pay to have them boarded at a nice, modern kennels in Nottighamshire. Obviously this takes a lot of work to raise funds to pay for their boarding, with us having up to 15 dogs in kennels at any one time.
We also like the dogs to have their own 'comforts' but of course funds don't atretch that far.
We received some lovely parcels for the dogs at Christmas, a big thank you to those who sent one, but there are things that they could do with the rest of the year.
Firstly Nylabones, the big strong ones are best as they last the longest. This gives the dogs something to do to pass away the time.
Secondly fleece blankets or vetbed, these are easy to wash and dry for the kennel staff.
Thirdly edible treats such as biscuits. The kennel staff like to be able to give them a little something when they shut them up for the night.
If you are able to help by sending any of these things it would be wonderful and the dogs really would get good use of them.
You can send things to the PO Box address, or if you are going on an organised walk take with you and give to the organiser, I will then arrange for it to be collected.
Many thanks, I am sure you agree that these dogs deserve to have these axtra comforts, even though most of them have not been used to such things.

WHAT RESCUING A BULL TERRIER REALLY MEANS

As a rescue, we are getting more and more people applying for a dog who want something that is "perfect".

We get asked for a dog that is:

* Of a certain colour and markings
* Has a big perfect "egg shaped" head
* Has certain breed lines and KC registered
* Is under one year old
* Likes all other dogs
* Has no behaviour problems
* Will get on with young children who visit once or twice a year

Whilst we accept that if you have children or other animals is it very important to have a dog that gets on with existing members of the family, we are not in rescue to take "perfect" dogs.

Dogs come into our care because they are in trouble and need help. If we only take in dogs of certain colour, under a year, etc. we are not a rescue. We are simply an agency that finds young, good looking dogs for people who want to feel that they have rescued a dog, but who have not really committed themselves to taking into their home a dog that really needs their help. In fact, it is just a cheap, pre-neutered, pre-socialised and pre-trained dog.

A real rescue home understands that a dog may have some health or behaviour issues. A real rescue home understands that the right dog for their circumstances may not be young. A real rescue home works hard with the dog to settle it into it's new routine. A real rescue home gives the dog time and space and expects the dog to make some mistakes.

I WISH THERE WERE MORE REAL RESCUE HOMES

The majority of our dogs are rehomed without being featured on the web site, only a very small proportion do in fact get on here. If you are looking to adopt please make sure you complete a questionnaire and then we will contat you when a suitable dog is available. If you don't do this you could miss out on the dog of your dreams!

We are keen to hear from anyone who has Bull Terrier experience & would like to offer their support on a short or long term basis.

Previous fostering experience is not essential as training & support will be given by your rehoming coordinator.
