Introducing 💞LUNA💞……

This almost 7yr old mini-bull is a tiny little pocket rocket, weighing in at just 18kg!

😢 Sadly Luna’s last two homes have not worked out due to fighting with other animals, and we are now on the hunt for her perfect ‘pet-free’ forever home! 🙌🏻

Luna is pure joy; a dog that will make you laugh daily with her playful energy.
She is a joy to walk on lead, and happy to greet other dogs when out and about (she just doesn’t like to share her home 😣)

Luna is house/toilet trained and will happily take herself out the dog door.
She LOVES a cuddle on the couch and someone to play toys with her.

She is the closest to dream dog and most loving companion you could wish for!

💞🙌🏻 If you believe that you can offer Luna a life of love and adventure, and are willing to stay committed to her needs, then please fill out our foster application form and one of the team will be in touch.

❌ no cats
❌ no rabbits
❌ no chickens
❌ no other dog in the home (and cautious around visiting dogs as she is quite selective and has no backwards step if she doesn’t want to be friends)

We are desperately looking for new foster carers 🙏🏼

Currently we have multiple dogs to move and nowhere to put them.

These are dogs that have been in temporary homes and need to find their forever families 🥺

Please, if you are able to help or know someone who can, we urge you to fill out our foster application form and one of the team will be in touch to match you with the right dog 🙏🏼

👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏾🧩🐾 It could be argued, that foster carers are the most important piece of the rescue puzzle!
We do not have a physical shelter to put dogs when they come into rescue, and rely solely on our incredible network of carers.

In saying that……

👀 We are currently on the lookout for both short and long term foster carers (and always looking for forever homes 🏡❤️)!

☑️ We do have a very thorough application process to ensure that our dogs are placed in the best homes, to set them and their carers up for success.
After all; dogs often come into rescue because somewhere along the line they have been failed by humans, and it’s imperative that we don’t allow that to happen again 🥺

Often when dogs come through rescue, it’s an urgent requirement to move them. For us, they are almost always placed in homes that have already had all of our checks done ✅🤩

💗 We supply everything you will need; food, bedding, toys and so much more ~ we just need you to supply the love and keep them safe 🙏🏼❤️🐾
We also assign ‘bully buddies’ to every single dog to check in with and make sure everything is going smoothly.

Please join us in celebrating the foster fail of…. 💞MAGGIE💞 (previously Sweetie)

This sweetheart came into our care just a couple short months ago, dirty, smelly and in need of veterinary care.

After spending a lot of her time outdoors 🥺, Maggie very quickly lapped up the creature comforts of indoor living and couch snuggles 🙌🏻🤗

💞 This sweet girl has come leaps and bounds in such a short space of time, and a very large part of that is due to her beautiful new family that have nursed her through upset tummies, desex surgery and taught her what it is to be truly and unconditionally loved 🥰 ……not to mention, taught her that she will never again be locked outside in the cold!

💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾

📝 Here are some lovely words from her new family; Brooke and Mark…..
What started as a foster journey has turned into a forever bond. Maggie, our cheeky girl has officially chosen us and we couldn’t be happier. From the moment she walked into our lives, she brought joy, laughter and a whole lot of personality.
She’s full of sass and charm, with a mischievous streak that keeps us on our toes, but more than anything, Maggie just wants to be with her humans. Whether she's cuddled up by our side or following us from room to room, her love is constant and unconditional.
We may have opened our home to foster her, but Maggie opened our hearts and made it clear she was already home.

💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾

Our greatest thanks for this successful placement goes to;
💞 Jenni.O for transporting Maggie to her new family.
💞 Jennie.S for being Maggie’s dedicated and supportive bully buddy.
💞 Brooke and Mark for providing Maggie with more love than she could ever have wished for! 🫶🏼

Please join us in celebrating another happy foster fail for sweetheart 💞PHOEBE💞

This gorgeous girl came to us a few months ago and was planned to be a new sister for one of our favourite VBTR boys ♥️BORIS♥️….. but Boris decided he wanted to be an only child 😝

💞 Luckily; a beautiful foster family (Nikki, Mitch and new bully sister Mollie) were ready with open, loving arms to welcome Phoebe into their clan.

🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞

📝 Here is Phoebe’s story, written by Nikki;

We lost one of our bullies in Jan 24’ and we were heartbroken 💔, and so was our other bully girl Mollie.
After 6 months we knew we needed another bully in our life so registered with VBTR, and crossed our fingers for a dog friendly baby in need of our help 🤞🏼
Then one day we received a call about Pheobe 😆 we were so excited that we may have the opportunity to have another bully.
We were a little concerned that Mollie & Pheobe might not get along so we started with a meet & greet at the beach. All went really well.
We couldn’t believe that Pheobe looked so much like the girl we had lost the year before!

Pheobe was welcomed by us & Mollie 🐾 and she came for a sleepover to see how it would go.
She was so excited and made herself at home pretty quick, jumping up on the bed and getting all snug 🥰
Phoebe loves going for a walk with Mollie and exploring the world. Walking was a workout for the first week or two, Pheobe would be taking us for a walk, haha!
We have been training her each day and she is going great; no longer pulling on the lead.

Pheobe has definitely brightened up our lives and is a barrel of energy. She comes and hangs out in the pottery studio with me and loves watching me work. She is such a smoocher ☺️, loves cuddles on the couch and a relaxing massage.

We can’t thank VBTR, Brooke & Jennie enough for bringing Pheobe into our lives. I do also think our previous girl Harley had something to do with it as Pheobe’s mannerisms, personality and looks are so much like she was.
Pheobe is such a adorabull girl and we love her so much 😘❤️❌⭕️🐾

🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞🐾💞

As always there is a whole team who contribute to rehoming our dogs, but for Phoebe’s journey, our special thanks goes to;
💞Abigail and Tim (and Boris) for helping us keep Phoebe safe in the early days, and nursing her through her desex surgery recovery.
💞Jennie for being Phoebe’s dedicated bully buddy.
💞 Nikki, Mitch (and Mollie) for persisting through the ‘teething phase’ and giving Phoebe her beautiful forever home!
