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.
Duke
Meet Duke 🐾
2-year-old English Bulldog
Duke is a strong, active Bulldog who’s come to us through no fault of his own. Due to changes in his owner’s circumstances, they’ve made the difficult decision to find him a home better suited to his needs.
Don’t let the Bulldog label fool you – Duke is fit. He’s used to daily walks and can happily go the distance, so he’ll need a home that enjoys being out and about just as much as he does.
He’s sociable with other dogs and currently lives with another Bulldog, but he is a powerful boy, so he’ll need a confident handler who can manage his strength and continue his training.
✔️ Knows basic commands (sit, paw, high five, waits for food)
🐶 Sociable with other dogs
🏃♂️ Active and loves his walks
🥩 On a structured diet
Duke has a great foundation – now he just needs the right person to take him to the next level.
Apply now to meet Duke and give him the home he deserves.
