She is looking for a private secure garden to help her build some confidence and an active home who will take her out for lots of fun adventures.

Poppy is a nervous two-year-old French Bulldog and Pug cross who is seeking patient owners who can help bring her out of her shell. She can live with teenage children who are understanding of nervous dogs as she can be reactive and worried meeting new people. Poppy would benefit from a secure private garden to explore and help with housetraining.

Baker, a Bulldog

Three-year old Baker is a Bulldog Cross who can be quite fearful but affectionate and soppy once he has gained trust. The perfect forever home would be one with only teenage children and enjoys the outdoors as he loves exploring. Fetch, chase and tug games are his favourite pastimes which will be a great way for him to gain some confidence with his new family. He would ideally need to be the only pet at home.

Callie is looking for a home with secondary school age children. While she must be the only pet in the home, she can have walking buddies. She is looking for a home with a private secure garden to help her with housetraining, and someone around most of the time to begin with.
