9. Meet Bubble
Bubble has settled in well into his foster home and is looking for a forever family who are a calm, quiet and able to give him space to settle into his new environment in his own time. He can live with 2 adults max and must be the only pet in the home. Bubble can socialise with other calm similar sized dogs but does prefer his own space. Bubble does prefer the company of people so would need a family who are around most of the day. Breed: Chihuahua (Smooth Coat). Age: 8 + years | Dogs Trust
10. Lola
8-month-old Lola is a worried young girl, who is finding the world quite scary. She is looking for her new owners to be patient and calm with her to build her trust and confidence, but once she trusts you she is the most loving and affectionate girl! Lola does enjoy exploring places she is comfortable with and loves having fuss from people she knows and trusts. She is going to be a large breed so it would be beneficial for her family to have experience of large, nervous dogs. | Dogs Trust
11. Maggie!
American Bully Pocket Maggie is looking for patient, loving adopters who are around for most of the day to build up her confidence in being left. She will need to be the only pet in the home but could live with older children aged 15 years and over. Maggie does find traffic stressful and so would need quiet walking areas away from roads and other dogs to enjoy, but she does travel amazingly in the car so this can be a car ride away. She would also love a garden for off-lead fun! | Dogs Trust
12. Meeko
Two-year-old Meeko is a gorgeous friendly boy, once he is friends with you he loves affection and a bum scratch! Meeko is a large boy who sometimes forgets his size, he can be very strong on the lead and has lots of training potential. He enjoys getting on the sofa for a snuggle with his favourite people, he will lean in for lots of loves and doesn’t care much about personal space! Meeko is friendly with other dogs, but needs to be the only dog in the home. | Dogs Trust
