Are you right for Diesel?
Diesel is a ten-year-old French Bulldog looking for a quiet home with adults, full of love and home comforts. He would love a home where he can have constant company; any time left alone will need to be built up very gradually. He is looking to be the only dog in the home so he can have all the attention for himself and out and about he would benefit from having calm doggy pals to socialise with. He will need a home without cats and small furries and he has no history around livestock. Diesel is housetrained. He travels well in the boot of the car. He would love a home with a garden and is only looking for short strolls in a variety of locations. Variety is the spice of life!
Is Diesel right for you?
Diesel is a sweet-natured older gent. He is affectionate and wants to say ‘hello’ to anyone and everyone. He loves a fuss and to snuggle on the sofa. Be prepared for no privacy as Diesel is the dog who will follow you to the bathroom. His foster carer describes him as, “A real character” and “A great houseguest.” He enjoys toy play and his favourite toy is a crocodile-squeaky -ball-toy. He is up for a gentle game of tuggy with you and he likes footballs. His favourite spot for walkies is the beach. He is social with other dogs but would rather avoid the boisterous ones. Diesel is now deaf and he knows his tricks with hand signals; he knows a sit and wait and will come to you if you crouch-down and wave him to come. His favourite treats are of the meaty variety, cheese and ham.

How our rehoming process works

Create an account and fill out our application form
In our form you can tell us all about your home, your lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can add favourites to give us an idea of the dogs you like. We’ll use this information to find a great match for you.

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 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.
