Antoine

English Bulldog · Male · Adult · 6 years

Ant would thrive in a peaceful environment with minimal visitors, a predictable routine and a secure garden for off lead playtime. He can be overwhelmed in busy places or around traffic so Antoine would prefer his home to be in a rural or residential setting with access to quiet walking routes. He isn’t a high energy dog and would be perfectly content with short strolls along the beach, followed by long, cosy snoozes on the sofa. Antoine travels well in the car, which is ideal if needing to drive him a little further to reach a quieter walking spot. His ideal home is an adult only space where he can be the only pet and soak up every ounce of attention he can get! His adopters should be patient and willing to let him build trust at his own pace, with support from our training team to continue the positive progress he’s made. Antoine (affectionately known as Ant) is a sweet, quirky little chap with bundles of personality and love to give. This charming 6 year old French Bulldog needs a calm home where he can enjoy all the love and attention he deserves. He can be can be shy with strangers, but with time, patience, and a calm approach, his affectionate and cheeky side shines through. He’s a playful boy who adores his toys and his food even more! Around the home, he’s a gentle soul who settles beautifully and makes an excellent office buddy - he’d be the perfect companion for someone who works from home but wants a little companion who's content chilling whilst you work. Imagine curling up on a cold autumn day, snuggled on the sofa with Antoine by your side - sounds perfect to us!

About Antoine

What life with Antoine looks like

Antoine is a adult english bulldog dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shoreham in Shoreham by Sea.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Antoine, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Antoine?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Shoreham handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Antoine on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Antoine if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Shoreham will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Antoine already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Antoine isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Shoreham early rather than rehoming privately; they know Antoine and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
