Red bear – 8-9 year old female Neopolitan Mastiff

Red bear is an 8-9 year old female Neopolitan Mastiff/Neo cross. Currently in the care of Battersea London whilst she recovers from kennel cough, after which she will be coming to foster care.

Red Bear is a lovely, arthritic, calm, short sighted old lady who needs nothing more than a caring retirement home where she can spend her days in warmth and peace. She likes to go out and do her business, possibly walk to the shop, and that’s it!

That said she is affectionate, gentle and docile. She’s not cat tested and I think very young children would be a bit much for her, but she is currently walking happily past other dogs (for short walks) and is very loving when she stays still (which is most of the time!). She needs to be an only dog, or homed with a dog of similar size/age.

Red Bear needs a retirement home where she can rest in a warm place, and possibly go for a walk to the shops every now and then. If you can offer Red Bear a fireside home, please get in touch.

Simba – 11 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross

Poor Simba is an 11 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who has now been at Battersea three times for no fault of his own. His last owners seperated and were unable to give him the attention he needs. He is a charming older man with a lovely affectionate nature and a winning smile – honest!

This sweet-heart of a dog just wants to be loved and is looking for a secure safe home that will be his last with owners who will give him time to settle in.

Simba can be vocal for attention at times — not so much loud barking as a constant ‘chatter’ so he will need owners who will be understanding and ignore this behaviour.

When Simba is in an office with people he settles down after a short while and is really good if they just ignore his ‘talking’ to them!

Smiley Simba could live with a nice female dog that will be happy sharing her home with a handsome older man. Simba can also live with older teenagers who will love him for who he is and not expect too much from him.

Can you offer this lovely lad a new home after 3 years waiting patiently?

Lula Belle – 1-2 year old female German Shepherd Dog

Lula Belle is a 1-2 year old female German Shepherd, she is such a lovely girl. She is responsive and interactive, however, is quite a complex girl and does have a sensitive side and can be easily worried in new situations so therefore can only live with teens 15+ who are calm and experienced around dogs, especially large breeds.

At the same time though, Lula Belle has a strong personality that will show more once she is settled in a home.
She is to be the only dog in the household as she loves her people so much so can get a little jealous. Lula Belle is a fantastic girl who will be a brilliant pet in the right household.

Bouncer – 10 month old male Border Collie

Bouncer is a 10 month old male Border Collie who was brought to Battersea as a stray, he was micro-chipped and our lost dogs and cats department located an owner but sadly they did not want him back. We have limited history on Bouncer but know he has already had a few homes, he needs experienced owners used to Collies or similar high energy working breeds to understand his needs and cope with breed traits.

Intelligent and trainable youngster who would enjoy and excel in doggy sports like agility, flyball or obedience, he is eager to learn and is a busy boy needing things to do. Bouncer needs most training from scratch, also it is unknown if he is house trained. Ideally he needs to live in a more rural location where he will have plenty of open space.

Bouncer is a loving, responsive and manipulitive boy, he is typical of the breed and loves to chase moving objects so owners will need to work hard on control and recall outside. Bouncer could live with other dogs, he enjoys winding them up if he can and may annoy weaker or elderly dogs.

Once settled and if kept mentally & physically stimulated Bouncer could be left for short periods, he gets bored quickly and is liable to find his own amusements! Ideally we are looking for an all adult household as Bouncer needs a calm approach, teenagers would be considered if experienced with dogs.

In Collie loving hands Bouncer will be a fantastic addition, If you feel you can offer him a new home please contact the rehoming team at Old Windsor on 01784 494443, apply online or email us on bow.rehomers@dogshome.org.

Frankie – 1-2 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross

Frankie is a 1-2 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who was brought to Battersea as a stray so sadly we have no information on this bubbly girl. At this stage Frankie is very boisterous and can get over-excited at times, she will need confident, active and experienced owners to cope.

Like most Staffordshire Bull Terriers Frankie is intelligent and trainable, she will make an active yet loving addition once settled. Unfortunately Frankie cannot live with other dogs or children, teenagers would be considered.

As Frankie was a stray we do not know how she travels in a car, if she is house-trained or how she copes being left alone, so until she is settled Frankie cannot be left alone for long periods.

If you feel you offer this gorgeous and bubbly youngster a home please contact the rehoming team at Old Windsor on 01784 494443, apply online or email us on bow.rehomers@dogshome.org.
