Candy
💔 STILL WAITING… CANDY 💔
Candy D2025-103 | 15-month-old English Bulldog
Candy doesn’t know she’s been overlooked.
She doesn’t know she hasn’t had a single application.
She just knows that when someone walks into the room, that person is definitely there for her.
Candy is the bulldog who should have had a queue.
Young. Loving. Funny. Brave.
But because she came into rescue with health issues (the kind far too common for bulldogs), she’s been quietly passed by.
And honestly? That’s heartbreaking — because Candy is pure joy on four very solid legs.
💗 Candy’s story
Since coming into rescue, Candy has had:
• Face fold removal
• Entropion surgery on both eyes
• BOAS surgery
She now breathes better, sees clearly, and is finally able to be the puppy she never got to be. She will need lifelong eye drops for dry eye and is rehomed as an assisted adoption for this — but she takes her medication like an absolute star. No fuss. No drama. Just patience and trust.
🐾 Who Candy really is
Candy is:
• A bulldozer with feelings
• A wiggle-powered cuddle machine
• Completely unaware of personal space
• Deeply in love with people
She’s less “dainty dog” and more “plops herself directly on your feet and sighs happily”.
She loves everyone she meets, is fine meeting dogs on walks, and would happily make herself your full-time footstool if you work from home.
🍖 The honest bits
Candy is young, enthusiastic, and food-obsessed. She:
• Needs to eat separately from other dogs
• Can be mouthy in play (bulldog teeth, bulldog enthusiasm)
• Would suit a home with older children only
• Hasn’t been tested with cats
• Plays with toys… sharing optional
She walks well on a harness (essential due to BOAS surgery), sleeps happily downstairs or on the sofa, and is housetrained/puppy-pad trained — though patience is needed while she settles into a new routine.
🏡 Candy’s perfect home
Candy doesn’t need perfection.
She needs commitment.
A home that:
• Will keep up her eye & skin routine
• Will continue her training and boundaries
• Understands bulldogs (or is willing to learn)
• Has someone around most of the day
She could live with an older neutered male dog after good introductions, but she’d also thrive as the only princess.
📍 Vet requirements (important)
Candy must live:
• Close to her current vets in Nantwich, Cheshire, or
• Be willing to travel there, or
• Be near Friends of Animals vets in Wales for continued treatment under the rescue’s care
📋 The practical bits
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Flea & worming up to date
✔️ Neutering agreement
✔️ 5 weeks free Agria pet insurance
✔️ Fostered in Stoke-on-Trent
Candy isn’t broken.
She isn’t “too much”.
She’s a young bulldog who survived a rough start and is ready to be loved properly.
If you’ve ever said “I don’t mind a bit of extra care — I just want a good dog”…
Candy is your girl.
Please don’t let her keep waiting.
