Branston, Crossbreed, DOB 12.09

Branston, Crossbreed, DOB 12.09



His Story: Branston was found stray and taken into a vet who kept him for 3-4 days with posters around convinced someone would come and find him ... he then went into the council pound and ran out of time ... we have taken him on as a 5-6 month old pup. He is fostered, gaining lots of training and socialisation.

Homing requirements: Branston is a young whippersnapper ... pup. He is kind by nature, but bouncy too. We are looking for a stable family who are going to offer him clear boundaries and reinforce consistent messages, supported by training classes. Would suit first time dog owners, but life style must centre around his needs.

Advert: Branston might have got into a pickle, but he is fast coming out the other side. He has a loving, highly sensible family in the wings just waiting to find him and offer him the head start his foster family have begun to offer. Branston is quick to learn and his housetraining though needing attention is practically there, but his fosterers are ever 'alert' to his signs and ever encouraging when he has been a good boy. Branston is sharing with another dog and now learning to tone down his enthusiasm and learning that other adult dogs may need a relationship on their terms.

What a good boy and you know what Branston and Cheese is a wonderful and highly effective combination and a winner every time! He is saying 'cheese' and what a smile he has, to brighten up your days, but be aware that a Staffie cross pup is hard work and the word 'boisterous' comes to mind, 'full on' and 'ever so kind!' So you will need your sleeves rolled up and trainers by the door ... better buy some wellies!




***PLEASE NOTE: We are a rescue finding dogs their forever homes. We usually ask for a minimum donation of £150 at the time of adoption, for each dog, to help us continue helping homeless dogs***.

Kerstin sent me a lovely video of Branston having a play. Made me laugh when he caught the camera man ...

Isn't he just sooooooooooooooooooooo cute

An update from Branston's fosterers:

"Branston is a wonderful and affectionate puppy who gets on very well with other dogs. He shows no interest in our hamsters at all and probably could live with a family who has small animals. Branston is eager to please and a fast learner. He is just so much fun to have around and makes us laugh many times during the day.

We have been practicing in an enclosed and secure field and with no other dogs/people around and I'm very pleased to say that his recall is excellent. Off-lead, Branston never goes far, makes sure you are around all the time and come back to you every time you call but we are very careful to only try this when it is safe to do so. However, I wouldn't be confident enough yet to try it with distractions from other dogs. It's early days and he's still a little playful puppy.

Branston will shine with a confident calm handler who guides him gently into adulthood. I think Branston is fantastic and I haven't got any negative points I could mention. He loves to play & his cuddles. Branston will be a great family addition and due to his age you can form him into your perfect dog. However he's perfect in my eyes already"!

An update from Branston's fosterers:

"Really good news! I think we are nearly there with the house-training. No accidents in the past few days and I don't need to get up at night anymore! Like I said....a clever boy"!

Chilling out time

Just helping my foster mum cross-posting and searching for my forever home!

I love my foster family and they adore me, but I really would love a home of my own. I'm looking for someone who would love to spend lots of quality time with me.

I'm eager to learn in a playful way or if you have a little treat for me. I would be your BEST friend and I like to be involved in everything you do because I'm so curious and playful. However, sometimes I get a bit carried away by playing too rough, but I mean no harm. I just get carried away and you need to remind me not to jump up as some people might feel bothered by it. However, if we go on a long walk twice a day then I'm as good as gold at home and just love to cuddle and fuss with you.

I think, I possibly could live with a friendly cat if introduced properly as I don't mind our neighbours cat. My foster mum has hamsters, but I'm not interested in them either. I'm not so sure that I could be around small kids though, as I tend to get a bit over excited and jump up a lot, so I don't want to have any accidents. All I want to do is play!

So, where are you? I would love to meet you and to have a play in your garden!

An update from Branston's fosterers:

The three of us had a fantastic day out on Saturday. We went for a lovely walk through the woods by the Silent Pool and stopped of at a dog friendly pub. Great thing was that we were able sit outside, enjoying our drinks while Branston had a paddle in the stream which goes along side the garden area of the pub.







Branston has left his puppy look nearly completeley behind and has transformed into a gorgeous looking young dog. The pictures speak for themselves




Branston is still looking for his forever home - could you be that home for him?

An update from Branston's fosterer:

"Branston is making friends with Smiler, our second foster dog!







Branston knows the commands and signs for SIT, STAY, EAT & HERE and we keep practicing them in a playful way! He happily would learn more commands if you can offer him a little treat"!

Branston’s fosterer says “He is such a clown! He makes me laugh many times during the day”!






Branston is patiently waiting for his forever home to come along. Could it be you?
