Our sweet Crumpet has found herself back in our care through no fault of her own. Sometimes things don’t go quite as planned, but we’re here to help her find her true forever home this time. Crumpet originally came to us as a stray, with sore, itchy skin and a lot of fear in her little heart. She was terrified of being touched and would scream if anyone tried — but with patience and kindness, she began to trust us and show her beautiful personality. During her time in rescue, the vets discovered a large bladder stone during her spay. This was removed successfully and made a huge difference to her comfort and confidence. Crumpet unfortunately returned to us with some lameness on her hind limbs. After veterinary investigation, it has been advised that she has some spinal pain which is the cause of her hopping. This is currently managed well with daily pain relief, her future adopters will need to be prepared to continue with her veterinary care. Before her first stay with us, Crumpet had a kennel buddy and showed good social skills with other dogs. Since returning, she’s been a little unsure around them and has lost some of that confidence — but she’s learning fast, and we’re hopeful she’ll continue to rebuild her doggy manners with the right support and patient owners. After everything she’s been through, Crumpet’s confidence is slowly blossoming once more. She’s taking life at her own pace and learning to enjoy all the little things — wiggly greetings, happy snorts, and gentle fusses from the people she trusts most. She makes us laugh every single day with her cheeky Frenchie personality and adorable expressions. Crumpet enjoys her daily walks with our volunteers and will make a brilliant walking buddy once fully back to strength. She would benefit from positive training classes to help rebuild her social skills and confidence, as she can still be wary of other dogs and will use her voice to ask for space. Crumpet is looking for a calm, understanding adult-only home where she can have the peace and quiet she needs to truly relax. Her new family should have experience with the French Bulldog breed and be happy to keep up with her ongoing care — including cleaning her face folds, supporting her joint health, and continuing to help her confidence grow. Crumpet would prefer to be the only dog in the home, but she could have dog friends for walks following successful introductions over a period of time and eventually have a canine friend to share her home with in future. She may also be able to live with a cat, depending on introductions. Crumpet has been on quite the rollercoaster, but her resilience and gentle spirit shine through. She’s ready for her next chapter — could you be the one to give this brave little lady the calm and loving home she truly deserves? Crumpet has been lucky enough to spend time in a lovely foster home with people who have worked with her behaviours and help her continue her learning journey. She is the perfect house guest and has settled in lovely. A little update from her foster mum and dad- Firstly, Crumpet is a little angel. She is very well behaved, obedient, cuddly, funny and easy going. Crumpet has a routine which she is used to, but it doesn’t seem to phase her if it changes as she demonstrated on her week away to Scotland to stay with relatives ( an eight hour drive, which she took in her stride). She enjoys her walks, which are usually twice a day for around 30-40 minutes and sometimes a quick walk at lunchtime. She is always keen to go out. You only have to pick up her harness and she’s ready. Even though she is still doing her little skippy trot, it’s not all the time and sometimes hardly at all. Crumpet can be a little wobbly from time to time, especially if she has been snoozing for a while (which is one of her favourite pastimes). She hasn’t shown any signs of being uncomfortable and is happy to be picked up. She also hasn’t shown any signs of having a problem with her breathing. We have given her toys, but she hasn’t shown but interest in them. She tends to gag on them if they are fuzzy. She likes to do tricks (paw, spin, middle) and she likes to chase in the garden. There isn’t a stubborn bone in her body. Crumpet is very good around food and has a good appetite. She doesn’t beg at the dining table. She stays in her place (bed) and waits patiently as she knows she might get a yoghurt pot to clean. She doesn’t guard her food at all either. Crumpet is very good at going out for a ‘wee wee’, although sometimes in the evening, before bed when she is snuggled up she needs to be enticed with a treat. She sleeps through the night in her bed in the bedroom. I have left her for up to 3 hours for work and she has coped well as she has had a walk before I leave. When we are at home and have things to do she is happy to snooze on the sofa or in her bed. We are managing her interactions with other dogs as this still seems to be the most concerning thing. Where possible we try to avoid them which means taking detours occasionally or going out at quiet times. If we encounter another dog we give them plenty of space and encourage her to walk on which sometimes works. If she feels really threatened she tries to spin on the lead and has nipped my partner twice out of panic. If she could find a home that has a little garden in a quiet neighbourhood it wouldn’t be a problem, or, someone who could take her to training. She also loves going in the car and travels really well, so likes being taken to a secure doggy field where she can have a good run around. Crumpet is great with new people and is happy to say hello. She doesn’t get over excited and doesn’t jump up. She is quite happy to have a little fuss when out on her walk. Apart from her reactivity, she is a perfect little nugget.
