Some dogs are looking for a fresh start. Sweet Possum is simply looking for somewhere to spend her golden years surrounded by kindness, comfort and love.

At nearly 14 years old, this beautiful standard Bull Terrier has been with her family since she was just a puppy. Sadly, due to a change in circumstances, they can no longer keep her, and we’re hoping someone special can open their heart to this lovely old lady.

Possum isn’t asking for much. Long walks? Absolutely not! She’d much rather potter around the garden, enjoy a comfy bed, carry one of her beloved cuddly toys around the house, and make sure you’re never too far away. She’s the sort of dog who quietly follows you from room to room just because she likes your company.

She adores her people, is affectionate, loves cuddles and is happy to meet strangers. Loud, busy homes aren’t her cup of tea anymore—she’d much rather enjoy a peaceful, predictable routine where she can truly relax.

As you’d expect for a lady of her age, Possum does have a few medical needs. She suffers from arthritis and reduced mobility, so she doesn’t need walks and will need help getting in and out of the car. She also has dermatitis, which is managed with medication. Because of her joints, slippery floors can be difficult, so carpets or rugs are much kinder on her old legs.

Vet visits aren’t her favourite pastime. She becomes anxious and is usually seen by her vet in the car to reduce her stress. She also needs a sedative before having her nails clipped, so she’ll need someone patient who understands that she’s earned the right not to be fussed over unnecessarily.

Possum has no bite history and no known food aggression. She enjoys her Butternut Box meals, a few apple slices during the day, and plenty of naps. Her favourite toys are soft cuddly ones—and thankfully, she prefers cuddling them rather than destroying them!

Because she has had very little socialisation with other dogs throughout her life, and previously had to be managed around another dog in the home, we’re looking for an only-dog, child-free home with no small furries. She would thrive in a calm household with experienced owners who understand the needs of a senior dog.

The good news? Every single one of her belongings will come with her, so she’ll arrive with all the familiar comforts she’s known and loved.

This is an URGENT FOSTER OR ADOPTION APPEAL. Possum deserves to spend the rest of her days feeling safe, cherished and loved. If you have a quiet home, a soft bed, and room in your heart for a wonderful old girl, please get in touch. Sometimes the greatest act of kindness isn’t giving a dog a lifetime… it’s making the time they have left the very best it can be.
