Introducing beautiful Miss Petal, an aproxinately 3 year old Bulldog who arrived in our care as an unclaimed stray however, she is now ready to find his forever home.
Unfortunately, Petal arrived into our care extremely over weight and was body scored a 9/10. She was also suffering from extremely sore and itchy skin on her face caused by a large face fold which was gathering bacteria and was restricting her breathing. She has recently had surgery to remove this fold, is recovering well and feeling much better in herself.
Petal is also now on a strict diet plan along with short but regular walks to help reduce her weight, as she struggles to walk for long due to the pressure on her joints caused by the excessive weight.
Despite this, she enjoys her little strolls with her new volunteer friends and loves curling up into their laps for extra fusses in the garden after a walk. Fom her enthusiasm for walking, we are sure with time she will be a great adventure companion.
Petal can sometimes take time to trust new people and can be worried by touch however, once she warms up at her own pace, she loves nothing more than affection and attention.
Petal is the most precious and loving girl. All she cares for is love from her people and shows her appreciation with that Bulldog bum wiggle we all know and love .
This being the case, we feel Petal would be best suited to a quiet, adult only home with patient and understanding people who have good knowledge or experience of Bulldogs who will be committed to continue her weight loss plan and the daily upkeep and maintenance of her face folds and skin to ensure she’s kept happy and healthy.
Petal would benefit from being enrolled onto training classes to help teach her some basic skills and build a bond with her new owners.
She is currently working on her dog socialisation skills as she does like them however, can get very overaroused and barky. This will need to be continued by her new family using positive reward based methods.
Petal could potentially live with resident neutered dogs and dog savvy cats. This will all be based on controlled introductions here at the centre.
