More about Gnocchi

Gnocchi is a vibrant, lively Bulldog Cross with bags of character, based at Battersea Old Windsor.

He is looking for owners who are familiar with his breed, or other brachycephalic dogs, due to some of his health needs and management needed to help keep him healthy and happy.

Gnocchi is friendly with everyone he meets; a bit too friendly at times and sometimes needs some help to keep calm as he can jump up. With other dogs, he greets them very enthusiastically and likes to play but can be too excitable for some dogs, and needs to live as the only pet in his new home whilst he learns some more appropriate games with dogs on his walks.

He is a little apprehensive about trips to the vets and some aspects of being handled, so will need some support in this area as well as confidence building around daily tasks such as having his face or skin cleaned.

Toys are a firm favourite for Gnocchi and he likes chewing on rubber toys or tennis balls. He also loves to play a little game of fetch with a ball. Due to his breed traits, he will not be able to do lots of exercise and will need fun things to do at home, as he is an intelligent dog who likes to be kept occupied. He also loves to sit on your lap having some fuss, often nudging for more attention. Gnocchi has so much love and personality and for dedicated owners he'll be lots of fun.
