Bruno

Bruno is looking for a quiet home with confident adopters who are training minded and want to work on a dogs training from the start. Exposure and appropriate socialisation in his daily life is imperative in order for him to become a well-rounded confident dog. Advice and support will be offered by the Manchester behaviour team. He will need an adult only home and to be the only dog in the home but would still want to socialise regularly. He could live with small pets if they are kept separate. Bruno can be worried by new people, so his home needs to be able to separate him from the front door when visitors come round and introduce him outside. He has shown resource guarding behaviours and likes his own space when eating so will need a separate area to be fed and further training to prevent his behaviour escalating. He would also need a private, secure garden to run around and play till his heart is content, his adopters will need to be comfortable to keep him on lead when in public areas. Bruno can be worried by traffic and loud noises so will need adopters who are able to walk him in quieter areas. Bruno has little experience being left but can show to be insecure with being left and could be a factor as to his behaviour escalating in the last home. He will need someone around all of the time initially with a view to build up leaving hours slowly.

Is Bruno right for you?

Meet Bruno, our 4-month-old Cane Corso x German Shepherd pup with giant paws and an even bigger personality! He loves his food, toys, zoomies and cuddles with his favourite people. Bruno is growing fast and loves playing with his doggy pals, learning the ropes one wrestle at a time.

How our rehoming process works

Create an account and fill out our application form

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 contact you within seven days

We’ll be in touch by phone or email within seven days of receiving your application to have a chat about your dog search. Then we'll start looking for a great match for you.

We will make two attempts to contact you. If after the second attempt we don’t hear back from …

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match

You won't need to do anything else or apply again for three months. We’ll keep reviewing your application against all the dogs at your chosen centre. Not all available dogs are featured on our website; dogs of all shapes and sizes regularly come into our care, and your application will be considered for any dogs that match your requirements. We’ll contact you as soon as we find a good match.

If for some reason we don’t find the right dog in that time, you can reapply, and we’ll keep looking.

When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

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.
