Prince is a beautiful six and a half year old black Greyhound who came to Bleakholt as a retired racer. He is a very friendly and bouncy boy who is looking for a new home where he gets his daily walks but also a couch for him to relax on. He walks well on lead and can be homed with compatible dogs of a medium and upwards size. Coming from a kennels back ground he may need help with house training, but has lived indoors at times. We would advise against a home with small furries. Being an ex racer Prince would need to be muzzled if allowed off lead.

• Breed: Shih Tzu
• Sex: Male
• Age: 6 years 3 months

Oscar is a Shih-Tzu, we think he is around 6 years old, he came to us as a stray.
Oscar is a sweet boy once he gets to know you, before that he can be a bit snappy, he has a big attitude in a small body.
He is ok to walk with most dogs but we don’t know about living with them, we have no idea about cats.
We are looking for an adult only home for Oscar, as we don’t think he would cope with children or teenagers and all the comings and goings that happens in a family home, he would make an ideal pet for a retired couple or single person.
If you think you could offer him his forever home please speak to the dog staff.

• Breed: Bulldog (American)
• Sex: Female
• Age: 2 years 6 months

Lottie is a two and a half year old American bull dog who is a loving, bouncy and friendly girl. She came to Bleakholt through no fault of her own and is looking for a new home with owners that have either experience of American Bulldogs or large breeds. Lottie has come from a home with other pets and lived with six cats, although we will test her further here with cats. Although she has lived with dogs before she did need to be fed separately and she can be funny with some dogs when on lead so would be more suited to not living with dogs. Lottie has been around a nine year old child but is very bouncy so would be suited to a home with teenagers. A great girl who will strive in a loving home where she gets lots of exercise.

• Breed: Terrier (Patterdale)
• Sex: Female

She is very sweet and loving with people, but as we don’t have any history on her we are looking for a home with older children (10+)
If you think you could offer this girl a loving forever home please speak to the dog staff.

Alex is a beautiful four year old light brindle greyhound who came to Bleakholt as a retired racer. He is a sweet boy but is a little anxious. He walks well on lead but is quite strong.

Brian is a three year old Jack Russell who is looking for an understanding and patient owner. He is a very anxious dog and is scared of going out for walks. He will go but reluctantly and does show issues when trying to put a lead on him which we are trying to help him with. He is therefore looking for a new home with a garden where he can play out in as he loves the ball. An owner willing to just do little walks initially with lots of treats along the way to help build his confidence. Brian needs a new owner willing to come up on a few occasions to build up a bond with him before he goes and also allow him space during his settling in period. Brian has snapped and nipped when uncomfortable with situations so we really want to find him a quiet home where he can relax and be the amazing boy we know he can be.
