Not by name: whether a dog is banned "depends on what it looks like, rather than its breed or name" (gov.uk). The official XL Bully standard calls the Pocket one of the smaller American Bully types, but any dog, whatever its label, that is at least 20 inches (51cm) at the withers for an adult male or 19 inches (48cm) for a female and has a substantial number of the XL Bully's physical characteristics counts as an XL Bully. Scotland uses the same standard. Since 23 February 2024 it has been illegal to sell, advertise, gift or exchange an XL Bully, since 1 August 2024 an offence to own one without an exemption certificate, and Scottish guidance says it is an offence to "sell, give away or rehome an XL Bully" (gov.scot). A rescue can't rehome a dog that meets the XL Bully standard, and we never list one: listings named XL Bully or American Bully are kept off the site. Ask the rescue how a Pocket Bully was assessed.
