Ruddy
3 years old Old Tyme Bulldog X English Mastiff Arrival Date: July 2026 Dog Number: 5259Ruddy could live with children aged 10+ and would like to be the only animals in the home, although he could live with his sister, Sahara.
Ruddy arrived into our care with his sister, Sahara (also on our website). They are littermates who have never spent a day apart and are currently kennelled together here at the shelter. Sadly, they have struggled for interest since being up for rehoming together, so we are now considering families who may be interested in rehoming one dog. We would still love to find them a home together, so if interested in both – please state so on your application form.
Other than that they are littermates, we have very limited background information about their lives prior to their arrival here at the shelter.
Ruddy (right) is the more confident of the pair, Sahara (left) can be a little more worried and gains a lot of confidence from being with Ruddy – she definitely feels more insecure when he isn’t by her side.
They are a daft and energetic duo. They both love playing with a variety of toys – Ruddy would play fetch all day long! They would be best suited to an active family who can keep up with them! They would love a family who are able to take them on lots of lovely adventures and provide them with plenty of mental and physical enrichment.
Ruddy & Sahara can both pull on the lead and so they will need a family who are physically capable of managing them whilst they work on their on-lead walking. For those interested in both dogs, they will also need to consider the practical space required both at home and in the car for two 25kg dogs.
This wonderful pair are so much fun to be around and so deserve to find a forever home(s) who can spoil them rotten.
Medical
Ruddy has required some veterinary treatment whilst in our care, including for an ear infection and some vomiting. Any potential rehomers should be aware that these will likely be classed as pre-existing conditions and won’t be covered by pet insurance. The rehoming team will discuss Ruddy’s veterinary history in further detail with any successful applicants.
