AMERICAN BULLDOGS NEEDING HOMES


How to apply

Before you fill in an application to adopt one of our dogs please make sure you have done your homework and know just what taking on an American Bulldog entails. Not everyone is suited to look after such a large active breed. Many of the dogs we rehome are not good with other dogs, especially ones of the same sex. A fully grown male bulldog is a very strong dog and you must be able to handle it for the safety of other dogs and people

If you are interested in any of these dogs please complete an Application Form, one of our coordinators will then be in touch with you for a chat and will arrange a homecheck.

Adoption fees in this section are £125 for dogs under 12 months and £100 for over 12 months, unless otherwise stated.
Please also look in the Other Breeds section as there are often bulldog type dogs in there also

Winter
This is 6 month old Winter, due to a change of circumstances he is looking for a new home. He is as you would expect a puppy of his age and breed to be like, so he does need someone who is prepared to put in the training with him and give him boundaries, He will take advantage if you give him a chance! He needs to be exercised and challenged mentally otherwise he will soon get bored, and bored dogs become destructive dogs. He did live with an older bitch but he  started to pick fights with her. He is very affectionate and likes to sleep on your lap or by the fire. .  He eats Markus-muhle natural dog food.
He lives in a family with a young boy  so could go where there are children. He is in Suffolk.

Dozer
NAME: Dozer
BREED/DESCRIPTION: American Bulldog x English Bull Terrier
AGE: 4.5 years old
NEUTERED/SPAYED: Yes
GOOD WITH CHILDREN: 10 + unless used to large breeds
GOOD WITH DOGS: Yes
GOOD WITH CATS: Unknown
EXPERIENCE AROUND OTHER ANIMALS: Not interested in horses 
GOOD ON LEAD: Yes
GOOD RE-CALL: Pretty good 
COMMANDS KNOWN: Under assessment
HEIGHT OF FENCE NEEDED: 6 foot
TIME ABLE TO BE LEFT: Not at all
REASON FOR RE-HOMING: Stray
IDEAL HOME: Dozer needs to be in a home with someone around most of the day as he is pretty dependant on company and has been used to being with another dog and not left on his own. Due to this we would really rather home him with another dog, preferably a female, for company.
He will really need his new owner to be around a fair bit, especially to settle him in.
DESCRIPTION: Dozer is an exceptionally sweet natured boy with soooooooooo much love to give. He is what's known in the trade as a 'stoopid doofus', affectionately of course. It just means that he's not so big on brains but he is big on love and cuddles. He just wants to be with you all the time as your constant friend. He hasn't a bad bone in his body and he will make someone feel so happy and loved.

Charlie

Charlie  is three years old, neutered, vaxed and ready to go. We are told he is an  American Bulldog crossed with a Stafford although he is a lot bigger than a Stafford and seems much  more AmBull. He is about the size and weight of a Johnsons AmBull.
He is the  loveliest dog you could ever hope to meet and has such a sweet and gentle  manner. He is in great condition and has fabulous manners and very good basic
training in place. He walks beautifully in his harness and doesn't pull at all.
He is very responsive and is easy to train as he loves his treats and loves to  please.
He has been well socialised and although he hasn't lived with another  dog he is great with other dogs out and about both on and off lead. We feel he  could live with another dog if introduced sensibly.
Charlie is also good with  children and has previously lived with very tiny ones. He definitely can't go  with cats though!
Charlie is a lovely quiet boy that is very affectionate and
loves to give cuddles, he just needs someone that wants to give him some cuddles  back now.

Chunky

This gorgeous girl is Chunky, she is a lovely girl an ideal for a family with children. She is really good in the house, very well behaved, her only one failing is that she doesn't like some other dogs. As her present fosterers have other dogs she is used to wearing a muzzle when she goes out running with them and she doesn't mind this at all. She is absolutely fantastic with people including children, the youngest one she is with is 4 years and she loves to be cuddled by them and follows them around wagging her tail. She is used to running on the beach so would prefer a home where she will have a space available to exercise off lead safely, once she has settled in. She is in Kent at the moment but will be moving to the west midlands soon.

Bailey

Bailey is a 14 month old deaf girl. She does know a few signs and is a quick learner. She gets on well with most other dogs and would be ok with older children who can understand her deafness.  She is a happy, lively girl and very lovable. She really does need a home of her own, she has been waiting for so long.
 Bailey is in kennels near Retford, Notts.

Sasha

_
Sasha came to us from the pound just before Christmas, she was heavily pregnant and gave birth to 9 babies. She was a good mum but  developed a serious case of mastitis. Having the babies but not being cared for properly when pregnant took its toll on Sasha and she was worn out bless her
Sasha is now looking for a kind, loving home that is going to help her get over her past. She is a sweet lovable girl, we would like her to go into a home as the only pet and not with young children, purely because we would like her to get all the attention and spend the rest of her life being spoiled.
She is in kennels near Retford Notts and she would make a fantastic pet for a mature couple.

Duchess

_Duchess is a 4-5 year old American Bull Dog. She is an adorable girl who loves have a cuddle and some fuss. Duchess has pretty pale brindle markings on her white coat which make her stand out from the crowd. Duchess needs to be the only dog in the home.
