Looking for the perfect lapdog? Then look no further than beautiful little lady Frankie, a 5 year old French Bulldog, who is looking for the right sofa to snuggle up on. She has a big personality and lots of fun energy to burn, she isn’t very interested in toys, preferring to play and zoom around with her favourite people. She enjoys a good fuss and a cuddle, bum and ear scratches are her favourite, and she will snuggle up next to you or in your lap for ultimate snooze time. This top girl is ready to find her new home.

Is Frankie right for you?

Frankie is looking for a home with loving and active adopters who can take her on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help her settle in and give her all the love and attention she deserves. She is a friendly bean who can live with primary school children who are confident around a playful dog, who can play with her nicely and will give her space to rest when needed. Frankie could live with another dog who will happily co-exist and engage in occasional play, although living with another dog is not a necessity, she would be happy with playful and friendly walking buddies. Frankie has a little training under her belt, she does a lovely “sit”, she is not really very interested in training, but will engage in short, sweet sessions as long as a tasty treat is on offer, although she is on a special diet, so specific treats must be given. She would like a home with a private, secure garden for her to potter about in at her leisure although this is not a necessity as long as owners are happy to take her for regular walks. Frankie can settle nicely so could be left for up to 4 hours, any leaving time would need to be built up slowly once she has had time to settle into her new home. Frankie is on a special diet, she will also need to meet her adopters a few times prior to going home. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet her within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

Choose a rehoming centre

We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found …

We’ll review your application

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 …

If we don’t have a dog for you right now, we’ll keep your application open for three months and keep you in mind for any new dogs that arrive. If within this time you see another dog you are interested in, you won't need to apply again but you can amend your application by …

If 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.

We’ll support you to embark on a new life with your dog

When we’ve matched you with a dog, we’ll help you welcome them to your home. After adoption we’ll keep in touch to see how you and the dog are doing. If you need any advice or support, we’re just a phone call away.
