Pals looking for forever homes
Please take a moment to read each dog’s profile carefully.
We’re all about matching the right home to the right pup, so we can only consider applications that meet the specific needs listed.
We’re based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire — so a visit is required before any adoption can go ahead.
Our standard adoption fee is £300. This may vary in special cases, but £300 is the usual.
Thanks for being part of this journey. Let’s find these dogs the loving homes they deserve — one happy tail at a time. 🐾
Otis
Meet Otis!
🐾 Age: 2 Years
🐾 Breed: Boxer/Staffie Cross
🐾 Needs: Experienced home, no other pets
Otis has had a rough start, but he's not given up—and neither have we. Passed to us by the council, Otis had been left in a yard day and night, completely isolated from the world. The scars on his nose suggest he was used as a bait dog, but his spirit is still strong.
Since joining the Pabs & Pals family, Otis has gone from a malnourished 20kg to a strong, healthy 40kg. He’s learning what love and kindness feel like—and it’s been amazing to watch him grow.
🌟 Otis’ Journey:
-
Zero human aggression: Despite his past, he’s shown nothing but love for people.
-
Still learning: He’s come a long way with lead training but still needs support.
-
Big dog, big heart: Needs someone confident with large, reactive dogs.
-
Solo star: Must be the only dog in the home—his background makes dog interactions very difficult.
-
For the right person: If you’re ready for a challenge with huge rewards, Otis will give you everything he's got.
Otis deserves a second chance—and the right person will see what an incredible, loving companion he can be. If you’ve got the experience and heart to take on this journey, apply below.
Latte
Meet Latte 🐾
1-year-old Belgian Malinois
If you’ve been following the Pabs and Pals journey, you might remember Latte and her sister Mocha arriving around three months ago. Since then, Gwen—our resident Mali lover—has been working closely with them both. Mocha still needs a bit more time, but Latte? She’s ready.
Latte is a stunning 1-year-old Malinois with all the classic traits of the breed—smart, driven, and always switched on. She walks beautifully on lead and thrives when given structure and purpose.
🌟 What Latte Needs:
-
An active home with experience of Malis or similar breeds
-
A job to do—she’s highly intelligent and needs mental stimulation
-
To be the only pet due to her high prey drive
-
A secure garden and daily exercise to keep her balanced
Latte isn’t your average pet—she’s a working dog at heart. But in the right hands, she’ll be the most loyal, focused, and rewarding companion you could ask for.
If you’re looking for a dog with drive, brains, and the potential to be absolutely brilliant, Latte is waiting for you.
Maple
Meet Maple 🐾
American Bulldog | Female
Maple is a striking American Bulldog with a truly unique look. Her coat is a stunning merle pattern – soft cream and white tones splashed with chocolate mottling, and those piercing blue eyes stop you in your tracks. She really is a beautiful girl inside and out.
Underneath that eye-catching appearance is a very timid, sensitive soul. Maple can be shy at first, but she comes around quickly once she feels safe. She just needs the right environment to help her build confidence and learn that the world isn’t such a scary place.
We are currently looking for a foster home where she can decompress and start to flourish properly.
🌟 What Maple Needs:
Experienced large-breed handler
Child-free, pet-free home
Calm, low-distraction environment
A crate or safe space she can retreat to
Someone patient who will let her move at her own pace
She’s friendly and gentle, but she needs a home without distractions so she can focus on rebuilding her confidence. We truly believe that, just like Peaches, once Maple is in a stable home environment she’ll really find her feet.
If you can offer this beautiful blue-eyed girl the quiet space she needs, please get in touch.
Indie
Meet Indie 🐾
12–24 Month Old Cane Corso | Female
Don’t let Indie’s size fool you — underneath that big Cane Corso frame is an absolute sweetheart 💛
Indie was heartbreakingly found dumped and wandering alone by the side of a motorway. Somehow, despite being abandoned like that, she’s remained incredibly gentle, loving, and trusting with everyone she meets.
So far, nothing seems to faze her. She’s been great with people, friendly with other dogs, and has a lovely calm nature. She enjoys a good walk just as much as relaxing beside her humans afterwards.
✔️ Amazing temperament
🐶 Seems dog friendly
💛 Loves people
❌ No small children due to size
After being left behind, Indie is more than ready for her fresh start and the loving home she truly deserves.
Apply today to give Indie her new chapter 🖤
Dusty
Meet Dusty 🐾
2-Year-Old Pug x Terrier | Male
Dusty might be small, but he’s got a huge heart 💛 He can be a little nervous when first meeting new people, but honestly… it doesn’t take him long at all to come around and become your little shadow.
He’s brilliant on walks, isn’t bothered by other dogs, and just wants someone to make him feel safe and loved again.
Dusty was handed to the dog warden as a “stray”, but when his chip details were contacted, nobody wanted to know. He’s been left to crack on by himself through absolutely no fault of his own 😔
✔️ Friendly and affectionate
🐶 Great around other dogs on walks
❌ No cats (typical terrier instincts!)
❌ No small children due to nervousness
Despite everything, Dusty is a cracking little lad who’ll make the right family very happy.
Apply today to give Dusty the fresh start he deserves 🖤
Willow
🐾 Willow - Ready For Her Forever Home 🐾
After everything this girl has been through, Willow is finally ready to start the next chapter of her life ❤️
Willow came into our care around 2/3 years old and what followed was something none of us expected. Due to issues surrounding a foreign microchip, she had to spend weeks in specialist isolation while multiple checks and tests were carried out before she could safely return to us.
Now, after over 2 weeks back with us, we’re so happy to say she’s completely back to herself and doing amazing 🥹
Willow has the most lovely nature. She’s affectionate, calm, happy and just loves being around people. She’s also been absolutely fine with all other animals since being back with us - no issues at all.
She really is the type of dog that will make any family happy ❤️
After such a difficult start, we’d love nothing more than to see Willow finally get the happy ending she deserves 🐾
Zeus
Meet Zeus 🐾
Long-Legged British Bulldog | Just Over 2 Years Old
Zeus is a big, loving Bulldog with an even bigger personality 💥 He came to us through no fault of his own after his owner made the difficult decision to find him a home better suited to his needs. Being young, strong, and full of energy, apartment life just wasn’t fair on him anymore.
Since arriving at Pabs and Pals, Zeus has made brilliant progress with his walking and training. He’s responding really well to structure and guidance, and we’ve no doubt that with the right person continuing his routine, he’ll turn into an incredible companion.
✔️ Very friendly with people
✔️ No aggression towards humans
🏃 Loves routine, walks & training
❌ No small children due to his size
🐶 Would benefit from being the only dog
Zeus is still young and eager to learn – he just needs someone confident enough to continue showing him the ropes.
Apply today to give Zeus the active, loving home he deserves 🖤
Frankie
English Bulldog | 3 Years Old | Male | Neutered
Frankie is a handsome tri-merle Bulldog with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. He’s the sort of dog who loves being around people and thrives on attention, affection, and being part of the family.
He knows his basic commands, is incredibly loving in the home, and will happily make you laugh with his funny character and Bulldog antics.
Frankie has come to us through no fault of his own. Due to changing circumstances and his reactivity around other dogs, his family made the difficult decision to find him a home better suited to his needs.
🌟 What Frankie Needs:
-
Pet-free home
-
No small children
-
Confident owner willing to continue his training
-
Someone with time, patience, and consistency
-
A home where he can get plenty of human interaction and attention
Frankie can be reactive to other dogs, but we've already seen fantastic progress since he arrived. He used to pull heavily on the lead, but with consistent work and guidance his lead manners have improved massively. He'll need someone willing to continue that journey and help him keep moving forward.
In return, you'll get an incredibly loyal, affectionate companion who just wants to be with his people.
If you're looking for a loving Bulldog and are prepared to put the work in, Frankie could make a fantastic addition to your home.
