As we approach the end of National Dog Adoption Month I wanted to write about the thousands of bullbreeds who are in need of a good home RIGHT NOW in the UK.
I don’t know if any of you saw the tv programme last month about the plight of bullbreeds in this country? About how many don’t make it out of the pounds and are pts (killed) before they get the chance of a new home? It’s heartbreaking, it really is. Thousands of healthy dogs dying every year.
If you are thinking of getting a dog, please look at adopting from rescue and please think about bringing a bullbreed into your life. There are all sorts of wonderful, beautiful dogs just waiting for their forever home – Staffies, Bull Terriers, Bullmastiffs, American Bulldogs, Bulldogs and their crosses.
Check out dogsblog, check out Oldies Club. If you are in the Bath area, try Bath Cats & Dogs Home; if you’re in London, try Battersea and the Mayhew; try your local rescue centre (they ALWAYS have staffie type dogs for rehoming). Try breed rescues. There’s sadly no shortage of bullbreeds in need of a loving home. Take a look at the wonderful Buster, currently Old Dog of the Week, who is only eight years old, good with other dogs and fine to live with children. Very handsome too!
I post this in memory of our wonderful Cassie, the most beautiful, loving, loyal, gentle friend and Big Sis we could have wished for. She was one of the lucky ones. With eternal thanks to Bath Cats & Dogs Home for enabling her to come into our lives.
And in memory of dear Cassie Piggie and Peggy, two beautiful bullbreed girls who found wonderful new homes through Oldies Club and who I had the pleasure of photographing.
Cassie Piggie, the sweetest girl, much missed by her lovely family.
and Peggy, who arrived in Oldies Club care in a terrible state and found a fabulous forever home after being nursed back to health.
Three families blessed by these wonderful girls.
