Apply online to adopt Theo

Theo is a five year old (approx.) Mastiff who came to Bleakholt through no fault of his own. Theo has had a very poor life prior to coming to us and had been passed around from home to home even spending some of his life on a chain, Theo can open doors and is a bit of a Houdini. Despite this he is a super friendly boy who does not realise his size, he has lived with children but we would be looking for a home with older children only due to his size. We are looking for a new home where he has a big garden with a high fence to run around in and gets the love and care he deserves. He is a big lad and a tad strong on lead so someone used to big breeds would be ideal.

Apply online to adopt Lola

This stunning girl is Lola, she is a 6yr old American Bull, she is very affectionate and loving girl, her previous owner has told us she is good with other dogs, so we may consider a home with another calm dog, she has been around children but due to her size and her giddiness we would want a family with children aged 10yrs+. Lola would do better in a home with someone around a lot of the time, she has got a problem with her ears at the moment, but hopefully this will be sorted out soon. If you think you could offer Lola her forever home please fill an application form in, this doesn’t mean you will definitely be rehoming Lola, we look at all the applications and find what we believe is the right home for her.

Apply online to adopt Cooper

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 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 can be 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 due to his over confidence once he knows you. 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. 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.
