Meet Tyson, our toy-loving water baby!

This playful American Bulldog adores splashing in paddling pools and chasing his favourite toys. He’s clever, eager to please, and knows lots of commands.

Tyson can be strong on lead but walks nicely in a no-pull harness and has made great progress with his training.

He’ll need to be the only dog and would suit an active home with children 8+.

Full of love and personality, Tyson is ready for his forever family.

Meet Agatha, a sweet and affectionate girl who adores belly rubs and being close to her humans.

She’s active, clever, and loves long walks, fun games, and puzzle toys to keep her busy.

Agatha is still working on her manners and doggy social skills, so she’ll do best as the only pet in an adult or older-children home.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with love and energy to share, Agatha could be your perfect match.

Meet Lorna, a sweet Presa Canario with a heart full of love.

Found as a stray, she’s eager to leave kennel life behind and settle into a calm, patient home.

Lorna is affectionate, food motivated, and already knows some basic cues.

She’ll need children 10+ and to be the only dog, but with reassurance and routine she’ll blossom.

With her gentle nature and loyal spirit, Lorna is ready to be someone’s devoted companion.

Meet Scout, a charming Staffie with a playful spirit and love for soft toys.

He’s an independent boy who enjoys his own space but also appreciates gentle company.

Scout already knows some basics, takes treats politely, and loves playtime.

He’ll need a home with children 13+ who understand his need for boundaries. As he’s dog reactive, Scout must be the only pet.

With patience and guidance, this sweet lad will thrive as a loyal companion.

BDH - Our Story

Birmingham Dogs Home was founded in 1892 on land made available by the late Sir Alfred Gooch Bart in New Canal Street, Birmingham. Sadly this building, which over a century later still had ‘Birmingham Home for Lost and Starving Dogs' proudly displayed above its doors, was destroyed in a fire during 2014 – but from the foundations established at this humble building, the charity continues to exist and grow.

Almost 100 years after the charities founding - in 1987 - the Duchess of York officially opened the new Bartholomew Street home, which had been purpose-built to provide shelter and protection for over 150 abandoned dogs in comfortable kennel blocks with adjacent facilities, such as its own vets' clinic, puppy unit and isolation block.

The home is a charity which can only survive through the generosity and support of the general public and benefactors from the local community. Without this we would be unable to carry on the vital work of rescuing and rehoming abandoned dogs.

The tremendous help given over the years has allowed us to improve and extend our facilities and, therefore, our ability to care for these unfortunate former pets.
