Support and Health
How much training will I need?
Can I be left alone?
As he was a stray, we do not know Coco’s home alone history. However he has managed to build up to a couple of hours of settled home alone time.
In a new home this should be built up gradually, at Coco’s pace.
Do I have any medical conditions?
Coco has historic medical condition namely a Gait abnormality and a current medical conditions namely Brachycephalic airway obstruction syndrome (BOAS) Grade 1, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match.
We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home.
Who I can live with
Can I live with dogs?
Can I live with cats?

Additional information
Coco can be unsure when he first sees other dogs which shows as barking. He has started some training around other dogs to help him feel more comfortable, which he’s doing well with and should be continued in his new home.
Coco has been able to walk alongside calm dogs however, he would be happiest simply spending time with his known people.
Family and environment
What kind of family am I looking for?
Coco is looking for a home of adults only.
He can be more cautious of men, so introductions may take a little longer in these instances. He will really benefit from plenty of time, patience and space while he settles into a new environment. But once he has built a bond with his people, he becomes very affectionate and is happy to enjoy a fuss.
What type of environment would suit me?
Coco will need his new home to have its own private, secure garden so he’s got a safe space to explore and relax.
It will also help give him regular toileting opportunities.
About Coco
Coco is a cheeky little character with a quirky personality that’s sure to keep you entertained.
Once he gets to know you, he’s incredibly affectionate and loves to be on your lap getting fuss. Although he’s an older gentleman, he still enjoys getting out and about, and his face lights up with excitement every time he hears the magic word: “walkies!”
Things to note
Breeds like this French Bulldog have extreme conformation, meaning that their body features are exaggerated. This can include having shorter legs or a flat face and shorter nose (brachycephalic).
Why these features can be a problem?
These characteristics can negatively affect their health and welfare. For example, dogs with shorter legs may be more likely to experience serious back issues and animals with flattened faces may find it difficult to breathe and struggle in the heat. Whilst not every dog will suffer these problems, it’s important to stop and think before adopting or buying one.
Due to these health issues regularly affecting certain breeds, you may face higher insurance and veterinary costs even if your pet is unaffected.
