Bruno is a 10 week old Staffordshire bull terrier puppy that arrived for rehoming on 17 May 2025.

 

Unfortunately, the circumstances of the owners changed suddenly and they were no longer able to keep the pup.

​

As you can probably understand we expect to receive a high volume of applications and this may mean the profile is suspended very quickly.

​

​Viewings will only be arranged for one of the puppies, we are not able to arrange viewings for both puppies.

​

Please only enquire if you are in a position to adopt in the next 7 days. When completing your form, please only specify days (and times) when all members of your household can come to a viewing.

​

Please ensure you fully complete the application form - including photos of your garden and ages of members of your household.

​

Please read the full profile below.

 

The sort of home for this pup:

 

• No children under the age of 7 years

• Access to its own private and secure garden (not shared or communal)

• Not left for more than 4 hours a day

• A willingness to properly train and socialise the puppy as it develops and grows up

• Dogs that are tolerant to the antics and energy of a puppy would be considered

• Dog friendly/experienced cats would be considered

 

Important things to consider

• House training will almost certainly be required

• Puppies are really not suitable unless you have the time, patience and experience to train and look after one. They are hard work and may chew things they should not.

• As a 10 week old puppy it is very much a blank sheet, and you will make it what it is through love, training, socialisation, etc.

 

Handling

As you would expect, normal puppy behaviour. Inquisitive, playful, friendly, and fun. Bags of fun, and of course lots of responsibility.

​

Bruno is currently staying in the home of one of our volunteer dog walkers, and she sent us this update:

​

"Once home and out of the carrier into the lounge, he instantly had a wee on the floor. He slept through the night 11:30pm-6:30am, sleeping on the sofa. He got up early and started pottering around and was taken straight to the garden, had wee/poo and was rewarded with a treat from his kibble and "good boy".

 

"He gave paw when asked but unsure if this was a fluke. Loves his food, hasn't bothered with his toys yet.

 

"He has settled in really well, loves to run around and investigate in the garden. He's a very relaxed, laid back puppy. Likes to play with your hands (puppy mouth). Has chewed the vet bed corner a little so he was given a toy to distract him. A pouffe has been placed near the sofa so he could come and go independently. Feel he knows when he needs to toilet as he sits, looks at her and cries as a signal to go out."

 

Walking

Due to its age and vaccinations the dog is not suitable to walk at the moment. This can start 1-2 weeks after the 2nd vaccination.

 

Playing

As a puppy it will play with pretty much anything, including things it probably shouldn’t.

 

Health

Appears in very good health. Already microchipped and have had their 1st vaccination. The second vaccination is due 25 May 2025. This is very important and must not be missed. 1-2 weeks must pass after this vaccination before taking your pup for walks.

 

IMPORTANT

The dog adoption contribution is £500.00.

Neutering bond is an additional £300.00. The Neutering Bond is refunded once proof of neutering has been provided subject to the full terms and conditions including exemptions and time limits contained within the adoption agreement.
