Are you right for Antoine?
Antoine (affectionately known as Ant) is a sweet, quirky little chap with bundles of personality and love to give. This charming 6 year old French Bulldog needs a calm home where he can enjoy all the love and attention he deserves. He can be a little reserved with strangers, but with time, patience, and a calm approach, his affectionate and cheeky side shines through. He’s a playful boy who adores his toys and his food even more! Around the home, he’s a gentle soul who settles beautifully and makes an excellent office buddy - he’d be the perfect companion for someone who works from home but wants a little companion who's content chilling whilst you work. Imagine curling up on a cold autumn day, snuggled on the sofa with Antoine by your side - sounds perfect to us!
Is Antoine right for you?
Ant would thrive in a peaceful environment with minimal visitors, a predictable routine and a secure garden for off lead playtime. He can be overwhelmed in busy places or around traffic so Antoine would prefer his home to be in a rural or residential setting with access to quiet walking routes. He isn’t a high energy dog and would be perfectly content with short strolls along the beach, followed by long, cosy snoozes on the sofa. Antoine travels well in the car, which is ideal if needing to drive him a little further to reach a quieter walking spot. His ideal home is an adult only space where he can be the only pet and soak up every ounce of attention he can get! His adopters should be patient and willing to let him build trust at his own pace, with support from our training team to continue the positive progress he’s made.

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.
