Below is our gallery of successful adoptions since May 2013, read their heart warming stories and how the majority have overcome hardships in one form or another to find their forever homes.
HENRI - the 1st adoption from Spain for us. He was found close to death having been dumped on the streets and for a while it was touch and go as to whether he would survive. He was adopted by Theresa and is now having to suffer the extreme temperatures of North East Scotland! His best friend is a 7 year old Sharpei and the pair of them are affectionately referred to as “George and Mildred”!!
FRED -July 2013 not a frenchie we know but a super English bully who had been abandoned in Spain and was severely underweight - we knew we had to help to rehome him. He now spends his days as a local celebrity on the South Coast in his forever home and can often be spotted sporting a life jacket whilst on his regular sailing trips
BEBE - August 2013 again a Spanish rescue and a very clever active boy who had been taught lots of tricks by his previous owner. Bebe is now in a wonderful family home, keeping everyone amused with his antics
FRANK - a UK referral. He is now living life to the max with Mel & Sam. He can quite often be found at weekend enjoying the beaches they visit watching them surfing the waves then its back to the camper van for snuggles in the evening, what a life !
ROCKY - a young dog of around 18 months, Rocky was handed to a local vet in Spain by his ex-owners as they no longer wanted him. A lovely boy with a zest for life (and sleeping !) who was adopted into a loving family home where he is the centre of attention
FRANK -was a UK referral. His owner was not capable to look after frank due to a long term illness. He was placed into foster home with Rachel and her family . Unfortunately Frank has ongoing expensive health issues which makes him unsuitable for re-homing and Rachel is lucky enough to be able to get reduced costs treatment for him through her employment at a vets.
SABRINA - a little Frenchie cross who was abandoned as a young puppy in Spain and was luckily handed into rescue. Sabrina was adopted by a wonderful family with children who fell for her as soon as they saw her picture.
BUBBLES - December 2013 a UK referral, Bubbles came from a home where unfortunately she was being picked on by the other resident dog and hence a sad decision was made to find her a new home. Lucky for Bubbles she has really landed on her paws with her adopter and we are kept regularly updated with lots of pics – mainly of her sleeping!
TILLY - January 2014 a UK rescue, Tilly is thought to be an ex-breeding bitch who was being kept in far from ideal conditions. She now lives with a lovely lady Janis and has 2 other canine friends but as with most ladies, is definitely the boss!
HARRY - February 2014 a Spanish rescue,
Harry suffers with poor eyesight due to a lack of attention from his previous owners – he will eventually go blind. He has been very lucky to have been adopted by a lovely lady Tina who looks after special need adults. She lives in a bungalow so Harry will have time to adapt to his new surroundings without the dangers of stairs before he loses his sight. 
FERGUS - February 2014 Fergus was in foster with Franco (see right) both were abandoned in the shelter in Spain with no history as to why they were dumped. Both boys have had “cherry eye” operations (a common ailment affecting the eyes in bull breeds) He was very underweight when he arrived as most of them are from Spain but has continued to gain weight. He is now enjoying life with Lyndsay & Warren in his forever home.

" on her her advert and it worked she won the heart of Sharon !. She has gone to her forever home in Devon on the edge of the moors and has new doggy playmates for hours of fun.
HANK - MARCH 2014
a UK referral. He was surrendered to us as he had some separation anxiety issues, so he needed to have someone with him full time, he also needed ongoing training around this issue and lead work. John and Marie who have adopted Hank are both dog trainers so were the perfect fit for Hank and we look forward to seeing his continuing progress. 
FRANK - UK referral with very demanding issues outside of the house. He suffers with severe anxiety and has the fight or flight syndrome which with Frank was always the fight/kill it option !! he has spent three months in his foster home working on his issues which have improved but you would always have to be on your guard.

KIRA - August 2013 - is 6 years old , she was used solely for breeding, she had around 6 to 7 litters with the last one resulting in a c section that would have cost her previous owner money.

She now lives with Karen in her forever home who joined the admin team after adopting Kira to help others rescue a needy dog.
LUCKI - was dreadfully abused by his previous owners. Tracey his adopter has worked incredibly hard with him to gain his trust which has taken several months and he is now doing well settling into family life.
MAISIE - a UK referral, again a very similar story to Bubbles. Maisie’s owner felt it best to find her a new home due to issues with her living with another dominant female.

Mel has very kindly agreed to look after him in long term foster and he has his own facebook page so that people can follow his adventures
BRADLEY - a UK referral. He was surrenderd to us as the new babies in the family were allergic to him. He is a delightful dog loves cuddles and the sound of his own voice !

HONEY- UK referral. We had a very pitiful looking French Bulldog x Pug surrendered to us before Easter and she was placed in emergency foster care for an assessment of her issues. I am pleased to report that her foster home cannot bear to be parted from her so have decided to adopt her. This I am pleased to report is our only second "failed foster" placement ! ha ha Honey needs lots of ongoing care to ensure that she starts to put on weight and luckily although she has lost some sight in one eye due to it not being treated 6 months ago the vet feels at the moment that they will leave it alone. I am sure we will see updates on her progress in the near future .

Marcel was surrendered to us due to a marriage breakup and it was felt that with him being left for long periods of time it was not fair along with the issues of his allergies and costs involved. Marcel is lively boy but was being restricted by issues with his pallet so the rescue paid for this procedure along with a contribution by his ex owner. He can now recuperate then get back onto his exercise regime and loss some of the weight he has gained. He has become a great friend to the his adopted family's young son who Marcel follows around all of the time. 
DAVE - NOVEMBER 2018 Dave was surrendered as he had fallen out with the other resident dog in the household and despite doing everything they could it just could not be rectified. He has gone off to a new home with Jayne and family where he will be the only dog and centre of attention which is what he craves.
KEO - FEBRUARY 2019 He was surrendered to the due to him being overprotective of the family which was resulting in aggressive behaviour to the family and friends who visited the home. Keo has spent three months in his foster home and he has come along way but still does not appreciate people coming into his territory. So we advertised that he needed to live with a single person who did not have frequent visitors, which we thought was a big ask but we were inundated with applications that fitted the criteria. So Keo is off to a life on the coast with Ronnie who works from home so he will have the company he craves but on a one on one basis. 
NERO - MARCH 2019
Nero has been with us since September 2017 he came in very overweight and with an issue with other dogs. After an diet and exercise regime it was discovered he had an hernia which was operated on successfully in November BUT a week later at 9.30pm on a Wednesday night his back legs suddenly weren't working, so he was taken straight to the local vets. He was worse during the short distance to the vets who gave us the options of referral to a specialist, stay at the vets with drugs to see what happened which they didn't really recommend or putting him to sleep! We made the decision to go for the referral as he is so young at 2 years old and had been a fighter with the previous operation. So, the fosterer rushed him through the night to the specialists who immediately started to process bloods etc, he had a CT scan the next morning and was operated on that morning as the scan showed two discs had blown. We had the money to pay for the operation which went well but he also has issues with severe arthritis in his back legs for which there is no operation recommended due to all of his other conditions. In March 10th 2018 he went to a long term foster family and having been part of their family for a year they have now decided to adopt him formally and we will be there to support them as we do with everyone one of rescue dogs for life. . 
OZ - APRIL 2019
Handsome boy OZ was sadly returned to us due to no fault of his own when him being at his owners work place did not work out and there was no plan B. So he has now been adopted by Claire and Russ where he has 4 other doggy playmates in the house who he loves . Living on the coast he has beautiful beaches to go walking on and where he enjoys making new doggy friends. He is such a loveable boy and makes friends everywhere he goes, he has proved a big hit with Claire's clients whenever she takes him to work. 
NELLIE - JULY 2019
Nellie came into the rescue as her elderly owners could not cope with her behaviour outside of the home due to their ill health. It was a very sad situation for them as they loved her very much but they knew she needed to be a home with experienced bull breed owners who could deal with her behaviour and her allergies. She has gone to a fab home with Jo & her Fiancé & more importantly their french bulldog Tayto who also suffers with allergies. 
REG - SEPTEMBER 2019 Reg was surrendered to us reluctantly due to a family illness and they had so little time to devote to Reg so they decided the best thing to do was to surrender hi to a rescue where we would find the best home for him. Reg was adopted by Phil were he will be with him every day as he owns his own business. Phil's son has a Frenchie too so Reg will have a playmate when he has settled in. 
TILLY - DECEMBER 2019 Tilly was surrendered to us by her owners as she was not getting on with the other dogs in the house . This was partially due to her being totally blind so was just nervous having other animals near her. You would never know she is blind as she potters about very happily . After putting her onto a suitable diet , sorting out some ear issues she has been a perfect little foster dog who will be missed by her foster family. Tilly is going to be with Zoe where she will be the only dog and where she will have company every day which is what this sweet little lady deserves. 
MORSE (formally known as Hugo) MARCH 2020
Morse was handed over to us by a vets in February, he had been taken into the vets to be PTS by his owners claiming he had aggression . The vets were not happy with the explanation and asked the owners to sign him over to them, on being signed over it was discovered he was suffering with Giardia which is an intestinal tract infection caused by the giardia parasite that affects mammals such as humans, dogs, and cats. Giardiasis affects the small intestine and often diarrhoea is a major symptom of the infection. This is because the giardia parasite effectively takes over the intestinal wall, leading to an inability of the small intestine to function. So after several weeks of treatment he came into foster where it became apparent that he did not have any aggression issues and got on with other dogs in the home etc. As we are a small rescue we do have a waiting list of amazing potential adoptors who have been home checked and passed our interview process. One of our trustees have owned bulldogs for years had been patiently waiting for a male dog who was okay to be living with other dogs. As you can imagine they are like gold dust in rescue as most dogs are surrendered due to issues living with other dogs in the household or for medical reasons. They have been waiting for the right dog not a "quick fix" as they understand its about the dogs needs not their own !! So Morse has gone off to live in his new home with another Frenchie and Pug who enjoy their own private woods to run around in daily as well as fab local walking areas. Unfortunately we will have to have him reassessed at another vets as he was not able to be signed off by the fosterers vet but as a rescue we will of course complete the treatment cycle and ensure he has everything he needs going forward. 
KYRA - MAY 2020
Kyra was surrendered to the rescue due to a relationship breakdown. She has enjoyed her time in foster period and has managed to reduce her anxieties with the help of the fosterers dog Bosun .

NEGAN OCTOBER 2020
Negan was a very sad surrender due to a relationship breakdown and his owner could not afford his monthly medication along with giving him the attention he needed due to the change in circumstances.

BOSUN - SEPTEMBER 2017 He was surrendered for his dog aggression and was too much for the young family to cope with. He went into foster with Cathie who has been fostering for us for over three years who has fallen completely for him so he is staying with her on her small holding where he has the space he needs ! he is larger than life in both personality & statue !! more the size of a staffie than a frenchi !! ha ha. (N.B we don't allow fosterers to adopt in the first year !) And we are very pleased that Cathie is going to continue to foster for us in the future as well.
MILLER - NOVEMBER 2017

The family have applied for several dogs just getting pipped at the final hurdle so just shows that it pays to hang in there and to keep on applying if you really want to rescue. 
LENNIE- MAY 2018 He was surrendered to us as despite the owners doing what they could with him, he needed more time than they had to work on his separation anxiety, being deaf, not liking visitors to the home etc. The foster family Claire & Russ have put alot of work into understanding this little fella and consequently fell in love with him.

He has been rehomed to Joleigh and her partner who have really taken on board the issues he has for which he has come on in leaps and bounds within the foster period but do understand that this work needs to continue and to allow him to be a dog not a dog who will ever be a lap dog.

She came into foster and has been a perfect dog from day one, loving all the attention of being the only dog.

PEPPER - FEBRUARY 2020
Pepper was a very sad surrender after many of months of work with us she was just not able to get on with the other bitch that lived in the house so the decision was made to surrender the easier of the two dogs to us so we could find her a new home. She spent three months in foster relearning some manners and allowing us to work out the best environment for her to live in . So Pepper is going to be a city girl living in London with Bea & Family and she will have Frenchie Frank as her play mate as she gets on with male dogs well aside from the odd bully grumble ! ha ha 
BLUE - APRIL 2020 ( HOWEVER NOT MOVING TO NEW HOMEUNTIL LOCKDOWN IS LIFTED)
.Blue was surrendered to the rescue due to a medical condition of the owner, it was a very sad surrender but they knew that giving him up to the rescue would ensure that we would find his forever home for him. He has obviously been a very loved little dog and came to us with a big bed, clothes, toys and treats. He’s a polite boy who sits, gives his paw and waits if told to. He likes to sit on the sofa with you but will bark at you to ask permission first. When he first arrived, he did some marking around the house but since then has stood by the back door when he’s needed to go to the toilet. When we have left the house, he has been given the run and there have been no problems / chewing etc... He has played happily with the other bulldogs in the house and outside in the garden. He also loves to go on walks however is quite strong on the lead and pulls a lot. 
BLUE - AUGUST 2020
Blue was Surrendered to the rescue originally due to a medical condition of the owner, it was a very sad surrender but they knew that giving him up to the rescue would ensure that we would find his forever home for him. He was adopted out in April and despite being in foster with 4 other dogs and there being no issue he took umbrage with the adopters dog so had to come back into the rescue so he is now being rehomed as an only dog. Part of the issue we feel in his home was the diet he was on which did not suit him at all and he lost a kilo in just two months so we think he was also very “hangry” at the time too. He was a dream yet again in the foster period living with two other french bulldogs with no issues and has put on the weight he had lost so great news. Blue is going to a very experienced bull breed owner Rachel who will treat him as a dog and not baby him which is exactly what he needs and he will having the one on one attention he likes so its a win win situation. We look forward to seeing him on his new adventures. |
