Are you right for Branston?

Branston is looking for a calm and predictable home, with active adopters who can take him on lots of exploring, sniffy adventures in quiet, low dog populated walking areas and secure fields, and will put time into building a bond with him and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He would do best in an adult only home with adopters who are comfortable with his size and strength, Branston does have a sensitive side and would benefit from adopters who will help build his confidence with lots of positive training and gentle handling. He will need to be the only pet in his new home so he can relax and enjoy all of his adopter’s attention to himself. He would like quiet walking areas as he finds interacting with dogs difficult, because of this he will be going home on a lead and muzzle disclaimer. His new family will need to be understanding and patient, willing to help him continue this training and to advocate for his personal space during walks, ideally in areas where there are not too many other dogs around so he can relax and enjoy his walkies. Branston will need his own secure and private garden for pottering and playing and for practicing his housetraining. He can enjoy some alone time, up to around 1-2 hours, but he'll need a slow and gentle introduction to this once he's comfortable in his new surroundings. While Branston has learned many tricks already, he's eager to expand his repertoire and is quick to engage, especially if there are treats involved. Branston will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home with potential home visits to make sure he is settling in well so please bear 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 to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

Is Branston right for you?

Big ball of love Branston is a 2 and a half year old Rottweiler with a heart as big as his boundless energy. His idea of a perfect day? Playing with his toys and snuggling with his favourite humans. Cuddles are his favourite, he will happily lean on you for more, laying his head in your lap, sometimes even trying to sit on you, not realising that he is rather large. Branston lives for playtime! He can play alone or engage with his handlers, he does need larger super tough toys to play with though, as softer toys do not hold up against those teeth. This cuddle bug is on the lookout for his new home.
