Are you right for King?
King is a handsome and happy 6-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Dogue de Bordeaux who is looking for a home where he can enjoy plenty of adventures and time with his favourite people. He cannot live with other dogs, cats or small furries, although he would benefit from having suitable doggy friends to help him continue working on his social skills. We have no history of King around livestock. King could live with older secondary school-aged children and could cope with a reasonably busy household. He is housetrained, but his time left alone will need to be built up gradually as he is not currently used to spending time by himself. He can be strong on lead. King travels well in the car, although he can be worried by passing motorbikes and some dogs.
Is King right for you?
King is instantly friendly with people and loves greeting his human friends with plenty of excitement! He is a happy and affectionate boy who enjoys being around people and absolutely loves a cuddle. In fact, one of King's favourite things is snuggling up on the sofa for some quality cuddle time. When it comes to adventures, King is always ready to get out and explore! He particularly enjoys spending time in fields, where he can have a good sniff and enjoy the great outdoors. He also loves playing catch and fetch, making him a great companion for someone who enjoys getting involved in a game. King can be wary of some dogs, particularly if they bark at him, and he would benefit from walks in quieter areas away from loud, busy environments and places with lots of dogs. He can also have a strong chase drive towards cats, so his new owners will need to be mindful of this when out and about. King's recall will need some training, he would love access to secure fields where he can safely enjoy having a good run around and burn off some of his energy. King already knows sit, stay and paw, but he is a clever boy who would love the opportunity to continue learning new things. With the right family, plenty of positive experiences and lots of love, King is sure to make a wonderful and loyal companion. If you're looking for an affectionate adventure buddy who loves a game of fetch just as much as a cosy cuddle on the sofa, King could be the boy for you!

We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re ready.

Show detailsIf we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
