Alan Deserves Better – Help Us Give Him the Life He’s Waited For

Alan is a six-year-old French Bulldog with the kind of soul that stays with you.
He’s not flashy. He’s not a puppy. He doesn’t come with a sob story designed to shock. He’s just Alan—steady, sweet, endlessly affectionate, and quietly hoping for someone to see him.
Right now, Alan is in a temporary foster home near Banbury, Oxfordshire. He’s safe for the moment, but the current foster placement is coming to an end. We need to move quickly to make sure Alan doesn’t lose his stability, and to do that, we need your help.
What Makes Alan So Special
Alan is the kind of dog who wins hearts slowly, then never lets go. He’s great with children, loves other dogs, and is likely fine with cats. He’s crate trained, can be left alone for a few hours, and is happiest curled up beside you on the sofa—or better yet, on you.
He’s calm. He’s gentle. And yes, he snores and lets out the occasional toot. But that just makes him more Alan.
Alan also comes with a few manageable medical needs: he’s undergoing treatment for heartworm and manages irritable bowel disease with a special diet (Purina HA), probiotics, and the occasional B12 shot. Despite it all, he’s playful, full of love, and ready for his forever home.
Why We’re Asking for Help
To bring Alan fully into our care, we need to cover his basic monthly needs—specifically, food and medication. Once that’s secured, we can either move him into a new foster home or a safe kennel placement while we focus on finding his forever family.
We’re not asking for the world. If just 15 people commit to donating £10 per month, we can give Alan what he needs right now—and start building the future he deserves.
No Adoption Fee – Because Love Isn’t Something You Buy
Alan’s adoption fee is fully sponsored. We believe that when the right home comes along, nothing should stand in the way. His current foster is happy to arrange meet and greets and speak to any potential adopters directly.
Here's How You Can Help
You can make a one-off donation or set up a recurring payment on our website. Interested in fostering or adopting Alan? You can apply on the site too.
Alan has waited long enough. Help us make sure he doesn’t have to wait any longer.
Let’s get this brave, snoring, tooting little legend home!
