Are you right for Popsicle?
Popsicle is a beautiful Dogue de Bordeaux who is ready to swap foster life for a home of her own. She's an independent, self-assured lady who knows exactly what she wants, and what she wants is to be the only dog in an adult-only household where she can be everyone's number one.
Is Popsicle right for you?
At 6 years old, Popsicle is a wonderfully settled girl with a great home history behind her. She's fully housetrained, a relaxed and happy passenger in the car, and comfortable being left alone for a few hours while you're out. Popsicle has exquisite taste, she's a self-declared connoisseur of the finer things, and nothing lights her up quite like a high-value treat (cheese is her weakness!).
Out on walks, Popsicle is an absolute joy, beautifully behaved on lead and friendly with every dog she meets. Once she's settled in and comfortable, her playful side comes out: the zoomies make an appearance, and she's currently learning the art of tug. She's a bright girl who knows her commands well and is always delighted to show them off for a tasty reward.
She's not a clingy dog, but she does love a good back scratch or belly rub, and her whole face lights up when her favourite people walk through the door. Popsicle is looking for a home that appreciates a dog with her own quiet confidence, someone who'll let her set the pace, spoil her a little, and give her the settled, comfortable life she so clearly deserves.

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.

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.
