Their dogs live with foster carers or in boarding, so you meet Frank after applying rather than by visiting.
About Frank
Frank is a lovely 3-year-old British Bulldog who has come a long way since arriving at Pabs and Pals.
When Frank first came to us, he weighed 45kg and needed to lose quite a bit of weight. We're delighted to say he's now at a very healthy weight and looking fantastic!
However, we want to be completely honest about Frank's rehoming journey.
In his new homes, Frank struggled to settle and displayed some unwanted behaviours, including humping, which understandably made his new owners uncomfortable.
During his most recent adoption, Frank was returned to us within just 24 hours. Unfortunately, that's nowhere near enough time for a dog to adjust to completely new surroundings, people and routines.
The frustrating part is that Frank is absolutely fine here with us. We know what a lovely lad he can be, but he needs someone who understands Bulldogs and is prepared to work through that initial settling-in period.
Frank can be stubborn and will need clear boundaries, consistency and someone confident enough to guide him. He's not a dog who should be expected to walk into a new home and behave perfectly from day one.

He's a lovely boy who has already made fantastic progress with us. We just need to find someone who understands that taking on a rescue dog means giving them time, patience and a genuine opportunity to adjust.
At just three years old, Frank has so much life ahead of him. He deserves a family who will work with him through the settling-in period rather than expecting everything to be perfect straight away.
Please only apply if you have Bulldog experience and are fully committed to giving Frank the time and guidance he needs.
