Are you right for Sully?
Sully is looking for a home with loving and active adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help him settle in and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He is a friendly bean who could live with secondary school children who are comfortable around a larger, playful dog, who will play with him nicely and will give him space to rest when needed. Sully needs to be the only pet in the home, and adopters will need to work with our behaviour team to continue his muzzle training which he will need to wear when out on walks. Sully is a clever guy and already has some training under his belt, he does a lovely “sit”, “down” and “paw”, and is eager to engage in training in short, sweet sessions as long as a tasty treat is on offer. He would like a home with a private, secure garden for him to have some off lead time and potter about at his leisure. Sully can settle nicely in the home, so could be left for up to 4 hours, leaving time would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Sully will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home so please bear all of this in mind when applying. 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 him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.
Is Sully right for you?
Big, handsome boy Sully is a 5 year old Mastiff cross with such a chilled out attitude. He hasn’t shown an interest in toys so far, if you throw them for him he just looks at you as if to say “what am I supposed to do with that?”. He likes a fuss, he gets excited and has full body wiggles when you give him back scratches, he would climb into your lap if he would only fit. He is a foodie guy, and will take any treat offered, he takes them gently and will happily eat them sitting next to you. This gorgeous guy is ready to find his new home.
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.

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.
