A garden is a must for him to play.

Sometimes Sancho is excited to play but doesn’t realise his size, any young children in the home must be supervised, as he has the potential to jump and knock children over.

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

A little of Sancho’s story below,

Just when we think we are full, another soul in need finds us.

Please join us in giving a warm and heartfelt welcome to Sancho one of our newest members of our GBSR family.

A beautiful boy who has been deeply affected by the financial crisis currently gripping the UK.

Sancho’s and Blueberry’s journey to us began when his loving owner, overwhelmed by a relationship breakdown, the responsibility of raising children, and living below the breadline, reached out to us.

She made the heart-breaking decision to part with her beloved pets to ensure they wouldn’t suffer any longer.

Sadly, we recognized the need to separate them for their well-being, we organized an epic road train to bring him to his foster.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to Jemma Hadley Sharp for collecting them from Wales and starting Sancho on his journey. Wanda Kew took on the longest part of the trip, delivering Sancho to his foster mum, Heather Tyler Marchant, who completed the final leg.

Sancho, a sweet 4-year-old mal, has been battling cherry eye, skin issues, allergies and bearing some scar’s.

Despite his health challenges, he remains a gentle soul with humans. Unfortunately, his resource guarding behaviour meant he couldn’t stay with Blueberry, who needed a different environment.

Sancho is now settling in wonderfully with Heather and her family. This is Heather’s first foster journey with us, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Sancho is thriving as an only dog, showering his foster mum with affection and toys. Loving exploring his new environment, he is an inquisitive little soul.

Separating a bonded pair is never easy, but sometimes it’s necessary for their well-being. Seeing Sancho and Blueberry begin to thrive reassures us that we made the right decision. Sancho is seeking affection and bringing joy to his foster mum.

With lots of TLC and dedicated care, we know Sancho will soon be in tip-top condition, ready to embrace his new lease on life. Welcome to our family, Sancho.

We can’t wait to watch your story unfold!!
