Dolcie – Now Adopted!

Dolcie Is Home  

We are ecstatic to finally announce that this gorgeous girl has gone home to her forever pawrents.

Dolcie was collected on Saturday by her new family Lee & Allan, she is now settling in with the family and new fur brother Winston! They’re totally smitten with their new little girl!

Dolcie arrived to us back in July, where she had been passed around from pillar to post until she made it into the arms of GBSR. It was clear she needed love and some surgery, she was suffering from cruciate ligament rupture, which was causing her a lot of pain, step in foster dad Ade in the West Midlands, to the rescue and his fleet of dogs, it wasn’t long until she was settled and in a loving environment.

We would like to say a huge thank you to her FD Ade Compo, you were there when she needed you the most and you provided the safest of environments so thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

You have all followed Dolcie’s journey from the start so please help us congratulate her on her new home with her new family Lee & Allan wishing them the most wonderful future together, we can’t wait to see you thrive in your new home Dolcie!

A BIT ABOUT ME

Personality:

Dolcie is a very bright young girl, with lot’s still to learn.

She is easily excitable, with a playful and cheeky nature and so full of affection for her humans.

Behaviour:

Dolcie is a highly active little girl, who can have hyper over excitable moments that will need managing.

Dolcie can’t be crated, unfortunately she associates a crate negatively, it creates anxiety for her, and she will not settle.

Dolcie can be over stimulated by excitable behaviour, so a calm environment is best for her, this will change as she settles, matures and has firm boundaries in place.

Needs:

Dolcie needs a calm but active environment, with a family who understands her needs.

A family who are dedicated and committed to continue her training.

Any dog in the home would need to be laid-back and tolerant of a young excitable dog.

Walk/exercise:

Dolcie needs daily walks, she is an active young girl, and this will help with her training and keeping her excitability down.

Dolcie walks well with company and alone, and she does enjoy meeting new dogs and people whilst out.

Recall is good unless there are distractions, then she has typical bulldog recall.

Toilet trained:

Yes, Dolcie is a very good girl.

Travel:

Dolcie loves to travel in the car, she will need a seatbelt harness to make sure she is secure.

Because of this we will accept applications of up to 4 hours away from her current location.

Things to be aware of:

Dolcie will be rehomed on a “to be spayed” contract she will be recalled at 18months to be spayed at a vet of the charities choosing with costs covered by the charity.

As Dolcie is entire she will not be rehomed with any entire males.

Dolcie has had surgery for cruciate ligament rupture, she has had the torn ligament removed as her knee joint is stable.

Vet’s must be made aware that Dolcie doesn’t react well to anaesthetic or sedatives, it takes her much longer to come round.

Dolcie hasn’t a bad bone in her body and shows no malice towards other animals. But she is not suitable to be rehomed with small breed dogs, as she could cause injury during rough play.

Sometimes Dolcie is excited to play but doesn’t realise her size, any young children in the home must be supervised, as she has the potential to jump and knock children over. None of this is in malice, she just

Children must understand that bulldogs need time to settle in and have space to rest peacefully and uninterrupted.

Additional information:

Dolcie’s life before GBSR was sheltered, she had very little contact with the outside world, so a lot of environments and experiences are still new to her. Dolcie has such a joy in her heart that you just can’t help but fall for her cheeky charms.

A little of Dolcie’s story below,

We introduce you to Dolcie, a beautiful young female barely a year old. Her journey has been fraught with uncertainty and pain. Passed from one situation to another, she’s bewildered and scared.

Dolcie’s story is heartbreaking. The breeder considered drowning her and her litter mates, and we can only hope that fate spared those who found new homes. But Dolcie’s struggles didn’t end there. Her previous owner attempted to rehome her, but it didn’t work out. During this time, Dolcie suffered an injury. The vet suspected a luxating patella, yet she received no treatment.

Thankfully, our team stepped in when we learned of Dolcie’s plight. Ade, our foster, collected Dolcie and rushed her to our vets. The diagnosis is grim: Dolcie has a cruciate ligament rupture, causing immense pain. We don’t know how long she’s endured this suffering, but her well-being is now our top priority.

Ade is making sure that Dolcie is taking it easy and she is settling well and enjoying the company of Ade’s beautiful pair Harvey and Lils. She has the most beautiful temperament and such a loving nature. Makes it almost worse to have her suffer as she has.

As you’ve seen from our past fundraisers, surgeries like the one Dolcie needs are neither cheap nor easy. But we believe in miracles, and we’re asking for your help. Can you spare a donation to support Dolcie’s medical care? Let’s give her comfort and a fresh start.

Your generosity has transformed lives before, and Dolcie needs you now. We aim to raise £3000 for her treatment, including x-rays, medication, and everything she requires during her recovery.

We truly appreciate any donation, no matter how small it all makes a difference!!
