The UK is home to many XL Bully dogs waiting for a forever home. In fact, according to the article, over 50% of XL Bully rescues in the UK are adopted within 6 months.

Many of these dogs are surrendered by their previous owners due to no fault of their own. This is often a result of the owner's lifestyle change or moving to a place that doesn't allow pets.

XL Bully dogs are known for their gentle and affectionate nature, making them a great fit for families. With proper training and socialization, they can thrive in a variety of living situations.

Adopting XL Bully from UK

Islay Dog Rescue is doing amazing work in caring for animals, including XL bully dogs, at their centre near Cumnock.

The centre has an 18-month-old XL bully dog named Zuri in their care, who was taken in after the UK legislation banning XL bully dogs without a licence was implemented.

Zuri has been spayed and fully assessed by behaviour experts, and is described as affectionate, house trained, and very clever.

She would need to wear a muzzle in public places, be kept on the lead in public places, and be granted an exemption certificate if adopted.

Zuri is best suited for households with children aged 14 years and above, as the centre wants to ensure her safety and well-being.

If you're interested in adopting Zuri, please get in touch with Islay Dog Rescue to learn more about the adoption process.

The Scottish Government has accepted that there has been an influx of XL bullies to Scotland since the UK Government banned the breeding, selling or abandonment of the dogs in England on December 31.

Eden was previously adopted but returned to the charity, and was adopted alongside a male XL Bully named Blue, just in time to avoid the ban.
