Scooby


This is Scooby, he is an 18 month old Bulldog cross SBT, he is good with all dogs, just wants to play and hasn’t shown any interest in the cats at the shelter.
Scooby is very friendly with all people he is just very very excitable and boistrous and as such does mouth quite hard when over excited.
Scooby CANNOT be placed with children due to his boistrous behaviour, he has previously met children and just would not leave them alone, constantly wanting to play!
He responds much better towards men than women and ideally we would like to find him either a foster or forever home with somebody who has experience with over excitable bull breeds.
He would also really benefit from having a female playmate of a similar size or larger than him to help keep him entertained!

If you have any other questions feel free to contact us either by email or by phone on 02380 693282

Many thanks

Bruno

Bruno has now found a home !!

progress update from Jackie
Bruno has just arrived.
He’s about 7-8 months old.
He gets on with our dog Basil and submits when Basil tells him off.
He has already learnt to sit for his food and treats but hasn’t quite learned to wait yet.
He is fine with our cat anf ferrets.
He loves being petted but does have a habit of jumping up which I am working on stopping.
He responds well to a rattle can but just ignores a water spray when doing something he shouldn’t.
He would make a lovely dog for an active family.

Julie

Julie has now found a home !!

progress update: 28/5/12
Julie is looking for her special home.
She is a really nice little house guest, I hardly know she is here, not high maintenance at all, just a cosy place to sleep.
Treats – she likes a carrot for her afternoon snack!
If you can offer her a home please call Helen 01202 380467

Good morning all, me Julie here!
Well I’m having a great time with my foster mum and being a very well behaved little dog, going for long walks off my lead, coming back when called, clean in the house, quiet at night.
I’m not a high maintenance dog..once i’ve had my walk i’m up for snoozing on the sofa (or in the garden when its sunny.
I’m getting on well with the three dogs i’m bunked up with but would equally be happy as an only dog. If you need someone to love you (thats me!)

hi Helen photos of me julie who is a little sweetheart,
we spent the afternoon snuggled on the sofa,she was so tired,
she is eating well and appears clean in the house,
showing signs of protectiveness with me towards other dogs so will snap that in the bud,
not at all shy and always up for a cutch x

Amos & Arty

Amos & Arty have both now found homes !!

progress update on Arty: 24/5/12

Dear Helen,

Just to say that Arty is getting on really well at his new home here in Dorchester.
When we got Arty a month ago, he hid for almost the whole weekend behind our chair in the corner of the room.
He became much more confident every day, and now he he’s always looking for a cuddle or a game of ball with the children.
He eats, drinks and sleeps very well, as well as being very well behaved on walks, especially around over dogs.
All in all, Arty is a joy to have and is a perfect dog.

Many Thanks,
The Lucas Family
(We will send some pictures soon!)
