Most of you know Hope and her story by now, for those who don’t here is her story. She arrived to us through a member of the public who found her on the side of a road and upon arrival it was clear she was in early stages of labour, later that day she was rushed to the vets for an emergency C-section. Although 4 pups were delivered only 1 had survived, later to be known as baby Brian. Hope was a fabulous mum to him, and he eventually flew the nest, and it was now time to focus on getting Hope better. We managed to get her skin looking healthier and she even had BOAS surgery to help her be able to breath, which she has now fully recovered from, so finally she is ready to have her happily ever after in a loving home.

Personality – Best way to describe Hope would be, incredibly friendly and loving to all that thrives on fuss but “a bull in a China shop”, this girl has no sense of her weight and strength, often knocking and jumping into you or anything in close space, meaning your legs and fragile items will not be safe. She doesn’t purposely mean any harm but the impact from her does hurt (she will not be suited to anyone with mobility problems). Her personality is just that of a goofy, crazy and nuts character that never fails to make us laugh.

Exercise & Training – Coming in as a stray we are unaware if Hope has ever lived in a home, this will mean new owners will need to expect putting all basic training, including toilet training. Although she has had BOAS surgery to help her breath better, its still recommended that her exercise times are kept short and sweet. New owners will need to be extra cautious in warmer climates. To help keep her out of boredom we recommend focusing more on mental enrichment.

Other Animals – We have tested Hope around a few different dogs, overall, she isn’t bad but not great either. She does better with calmer dogs, but we wouldn’t trust her off lead with them. When tested with dogs who are more excitable, she can become reactive to them, and the same out on walks if there is a reactive dog she will likely react back however if they remain calm, she still may stare but she will quickly lose interest and carry on walking. We will be looking for a pet free home.

Type of Home/ Owner Experience – We do feel Hope would be best in a quiet environment as she does become noise sensitive and it does work her up. We will also be looking for a home that has access to an enclosed garden with at least 5ft fencing. Hope will require someone who has owned a bully breed before or has a good amount of knowledge about the breed.

Hope really is fabulous character to have the pleasure of looking after, if you didn’t know her story you wouldn’t believe what she has been through as she has just been so forgiving, and she does put a smile on everybody’s face that she meets, having the true ability to make your day a lot brighter.
