Are you right for Bubbles?

Bubbles is a sweet, worried girl who has been used for breeding her whole life. She found her way to us after the breeders were closed down by the authorities and will now get her second chance to start her life again as a much loved pet. Bubbles is going to need a very special home, firstly, someone who already has a resident dog who is confident and kind, to guide Bubbles and show her how to be a 'regular dog'. She will also need paitent, kind and calm humans to give her the time, space and care she needs to adjust to living in a home for the first time. Who understands that she won't walk on a lead yet, that she doesn't want to go to the pub or to busy areas, she will for some time, need to decompress in the home and adjust to the basic things like the TV and all 'normal' things in a home.

Is Bubbles right for you?

Bubbles has made great progress whilst she has been with us, but still has a long way to go, a lot of this progress will need to take place in the home, where she will truly blossom and build her trust. She must live with another dog, any children must be older teenagers and understand the requirements of an ex-breeder. If you have not adopted an ex-breeder before, we recommend doing some research to prepare, they aren't just a little nervous, they are truly starting from scratch and don't have many positive associations of humans or the outside world. Bubbles will be a project for some time, however, when the progress starts, there is nothing more rewarding and it creates a bond like no other! If you are interested in Bubbles, then please submit an application and express your interest, we are more than happy to discuss in more details her requirements and how the process would happen.
