Short term foster homes needed!
PLEASE READ THE FULL POST BEFORE CONTACTING US, at this time we are looking for very specific foster volunteers. We need homes with no other dogs, no other pets and no children. Initially the dogs will not be able to be left on their own so there will need to be someone home all day with them. Volunteers who have large dog experience would be particularly welcome and those with an interest in training young dogs. Fostering is a very rewarding role and we offer lots of support and everything the dog will need while with you. Please email us if you are interested and meet the above criteria at [email protected] . I'm sorry but we may not be able to reply to unsuitable applications as we are very busy.

Please make sure your dog wears a collar and ID tag, the collar can be loose or have a safety snap if you are worried about them getting it caught around the house. Have a separate collar or a harness to walk them on that is secure and properly fitted and also has a ID tag on.

Great news for all the XL Bully owners in Portsmouth 😀

An update for all Paw Paddock customers🐾

First of all, we want to state our devastation during these past few difficult months for all owners of XL Bullies, and wanted to say a huge thank you for your continued support and understanding during these testing times. Our team have been working non-stop behind the scenes to bring the best outcome for all customers, and can finally announce that we have been able to work toward a better outcome for all!

Dogs under The Dangerous Dogs Act (1991) must comply with the following for use within our paddocks:

You must provide your Certificate of Exemption and a copy of your third-party public liability insurance via email at the time of booking (pre arrival on site). Please email all necessary documents along with your booking reference to [email protected].

The dog must be neutered in line with government rules.

The dog must be micro chipped.

The dog must be kept on a lead and muzzled until you have entered our secure parking area, entered the field and closed the gate behind you- you can then remove the lead and the muzzle.

The dog must be put back on a lead and muzzled before opening the gate to leave the field.

If you have more than 1 dog (with only 1 banned breed in your household), they can come to the field together, as long as they have a minimum of 1 handler. All dogs leads and muzzles can be removed once in the field, including the banned breed dog.

If you have more than 1 banned breed dog in your household, they can come together but each banned breed dog must have its own handler (aged over 16).

If you visit the field with a banned breed dog and dogs from different households, the banned breed dog will need to remain muzzled and on a lead at all times with a minimum of 1 handler (aged over 16) per banned breed dog.

If any members of the public and their dogs are present in the area then the banned breed must remain on the lead and muzzled at all times.

You must comply with the above in order to use our paddocks. Our T&Cs will be updated to reflect the above.
