I'm looking for my forever home. Could you be my perfect match?
Apply to adopt a dog like Marcy
HELP ME FIND A HOME
Are you right for Marcy?
Marcy is a calm and gentle sweet girl. Her perfect home would be with a family who would enjoy taking her for walks and giving her fusses. She can happily live in a moderately busy environment due to her easy-going nature and would be fine to live with young children of around primary school age. She has shown keenness towards other dogs she meets and would welcome the chance to live with another calm and quiet tempered dog. Marcy has dry-eye that requires ongoing daily medication.
Is Marcy right for you?
Marcy is a 6-year-old French Bulldog. She is a real sweetie who was brought to the centre as a stray. She would need a new owner who will encourage her with her toilet training, although she does try her best! As we are unaware of her background, we suggest that time being left alone should be built up from scratch. Marcy is calm and confident around strangers and enjoys having a good fuss. She is a true people pleaser and will make the most wonderful addition to any family.

You won't need to do anything else or apply again for three months. We’ll keep reviewing your application against all the dogs at your chosen centre. Not all available dogs are featured on our website; dogs of all shapes and sizes regularly come into our care, and your application will be considered for any dogs that match your requirements. We’ll contact you as soon as we find a good match.
If for some reason we don’t find the right dog in that time, you can reapply, and we’ll keep looking.

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
