Meet Little Humphrey

Calling all bulldog lovers! Handsome Little Humphrey is your typical young bulldog, full of life and full of character! He is a cheeky chap and there is never a dull day when Humphrey is around. He came into us from the stray kennels, underweight and with very poorly skin, however the team and his amazing foster carers have worked hard nursing him back to health and he is now on the lookout for his forever home. Humphrey really struggled in kennels, so is currently with a lovely foster family whilst searching for his forever home.

Little Humphrey is still adolescent, and has the energy to match so is looking for an active home where he can continue with his basic training, however he has come on in leaps and bounds since being in his foster home. He is a super friendly and affectionate boy who just wants to be friends with everyone, often found belly up on the sofa having a snooze with his human friends. Humphrey has successfully lived with children, and has been a gentle boy with them, so may be able to share his home with dog-savvy children aged 7 and above, pending successful meets at the shelter. Humphrey may also be able to share his home with another dog as he is friendly out and about with dogs he meets, and would be able to live with securely housed small animals, though we have no history on his behaviour around cats. He would be best suited to a home that are experienced with bulldogs, and aware of the traits that are associated with the breed. Humphrey has travelled well in the car, hopping straight into our van with no issues at all, and with his foster carer for vet visits. Humphrey has also been able to be left in his foster home for a couple of hours without issue, and should be able to do so again once settled into his new home.

Humphrey does have a cherry eye which intermittently becomes displaced and he may require surgery for in the future. For this reason, we would be sending Humphrey initially on a foster to adopt agreement so we can cover treatment relating to this. Further information will be provided to any successful applicants.

Here’s what Humphrey’s foster carer had to say…

“Humphrey has been an absolute joy to foster. He is a funny, happy and loving boy who loves nothing more than a snuggle on the sofa and an early night in bed. He has been so lovely with the children and is always so interested in what they’re doing, often trying to get involved too.
He is very high energy, especially for a bulldog and has his mad moments where he wants to play, this currently involves a lot of mouthing and he needs a lot of distraction and redirection to stop but he’s getting better every day. He has been left alone for a few hours at a time during the day and is fine with some enrichment toys and treats but has been having multiple walks a day to burn off his energy and keep him calmer in the house. We will miss him very much but know he will be happy and loved with people who will love his cheeky attitude, snuggles and snoring.”
