Are you right for Saskia?
Meet pretty girl, Saskia! Saskia is an 8-month old French Bulldog looking for her forever home. Saskia cannot live with another dog, and does need some work on her social skills as she can be vocal when seeing other dogs out and about. Any children in the home should be primary school aged and over as she's a super sweet, affectionate girl and loves her people! She loves to play, and shows typical puppy behaviours such as jumping up and play-mouthing so any adopters should be understanding of how to manage this. She travels well in the car, and loves getting out and about for her sniffy walks! She walks well on the lead, and after a walk, will enjoy having a snuggle on the sofa with her family. Saskia wants to be friends with everyone, and will jump up for a cuddle. She can get overexcited when children are running around, so will need sensible children in the home that can be calm around her.
Is Saskia right for you?
Saskia loves her food and her toys, which will be great for any ongoing training! She loves to play with squeaky and soft toys, and will want you to get involved. She has been left for 4-6 hours with a break and been fine in the past, but would need this building up in her new home. She is crate trained, so could continue this in the new home, but loves snoozing on anything soft and cushioned.
Saskia will need owners that are willing to put work into her dog social, as she is worried and under-socialised. She can be vocal, but we can give guidance on how to help. She is a wonderful girl and full of love!
Saskia currently has an eye ulcer, so she cannot be adopted until it is healed. However, she can still have meets here in the centre in the meantime!

How our rehoming process works

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.
