Apply online to adopt Buster

Hello my name is Buster, I am a 4yr old x ABD, the lady who had me before I came to Bleakholt said she couldn’t handle me as I’m too big and strong for her. I’m not the best around other dogs or cats so I will need a home that’s not got any other animals, but I love children and the humans here have said that they are happy for me to go and live with a family with children aged 7yrs+, this is because of how giddy and bouncy I can get.
The staff here have said that I’m a loving friendly giddy boy that just wants my forever home, if you think that it could be you please fill in a on-line application form, the staff will read them all and get in touch with the family that they think would be the right one for me.

Apply online to adopt Marlie

Gorgeous five year old Shar Pei cross Marlie is looking for a very special home to call his own. He is very typical of the breed in that he can be wary of strangers but is very loyal and devoted to those he knows. Marlie is looking for a quiet home without many visitors where he can feel safe and relaxed. He has had some behavioural training and has done so well. If you give Marlie the time to get to get to know you and show trust you will be rewarded with a loving, intelligent and faithful friend. Marlie would be suited to either a single person or couple but a home without children is a must. He does also need a pet free home. He does need someone willing to come up on several occasions to meet him and initial meets would just be walks to begin with and not hands on initially. Marlie really does have the potential to be the most amazing companion. We just need that special home willing to take things slow. Marlie is not suitable for a first time dog owner.

• Breed: Bulldog (American)
• Sex: Male
• Age: 4 years 2 months

This young man is Polar – he is an American Bulldog cross, we think he is around 4yrs old. He arrived at Bleakholt as a stray so we don’t have any background information on him. With this in mind we are looking for a home with teenagers (15yrs+). He seems good with quiet dogs on walks but we feel he would be better as the only pet in the home. Polar is loving and likes to be with you – ideally we’d like a family home where there is someone around most of the time for him. He can pull on the lead but with time and training this can be corrected. Polar is very interested in what’s going on around him, so he needs someone experienced with strong breeds as occasionally he will lunge to go in a different direction. Again, with training he is improving. Polar has got some skin issues that will need regular treatment. If you think Polar could be the boy for you please fill in the on-line application form, we look at all the forms but will only get in touch if we feel you could be the right home.

• Breed: Mastiff X
• Crossbreed
• Sex: Male
• Age: 2 years 1 month

This big baby is Cooper, he is an eighteen month old cross breed, we think he might be Great Dane x Mastiff but we aren’t sure as he came to us as a stray, so we don’t have any history on him. We know he can be nervous when he first meets you so we are looking for an experienced home who has owned large breed dogs. Cooper would need lots of introductions to be confident with new people. Cooper currently weighs a whopping 60kg so needs a very strong owner as he is very powerful on lead when he is excited. Cooper is looking for an adult only home and experience is a must as well as a large garden. Cooper will need some training, but he is willing to learn, he is generally good with other dogs but could not live with any small breeds, or older dogs due to his boisterousness. If you think you could offer him his forever home please speak to the dog staff about placing an expression of interest on Cooper. He is not suitable for a first time dog owner.

Apply online to adopt Takuma

Takuma is a beautiful four year old Japanese Akita who joined us at Bleakholt as sadly his owner passed away. He is a big lad and we are looking for a new home that has had experience of the breed. Takuma is looking for an adult only home without any children. He can occasionally take a dislike to certain people so will require a home willing to come up quite a few times to meet him. He doesn’t show much interest in other dogs but we wouldn’t rehome him with any other animals. Takuma is a great boy who loves his walks but prefers sniffing even more. He loves having a soft toy and carrying it around with him. If you think you could give Takuma his forever home please fill out an application for him. Takuma is not suitable for a first time dog owner.

Apply online to adopt Baloo

This big lad is Baloo, a male Akita that we think is around 2 years old, as he came to us as a stray we have no history on him. Baloo can be timid until he gets to know you then he is very confident and is mouthy. We are looking for a home with people who have Akita experience as he is typical of this breed. As we have no history on Baloo we are looking for an adult only home, as he can be timid of new things and does get mouthy at times. Baloo isn’t great with other dogs so needs a pet free home. He is very strong and does pull on the lead, so some basic training is needed. We aren’t sure if Baloo has ever lived in a home or if he was an outside dog, so he may take some time to settle into a home environment. He is undergoing a training program to help him overcome his problems and this training will need to be continued in the home. He has had a recent major operation due to twisted gut so his new owners will need to be aware of this as he has to be kept on a specific diet to try and prevent this from happening again. If you think Baloo is the dog for you please get in touch or fill out an application for him. Baloo is not suitable for a first time dog owner.
