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. In England and Wales it has been illegal to breed, sell, advertise, give away or exchange an XL Bully since 31 December 2023, and to own one without a Certificate of Exemption since 1 February 2024 (gov.uk). 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.

Not here: we only list dogs with rescues, so every Pocket Bully on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the dog's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy, Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet first: they say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations on likely health conditions and rough costs.
