Foots, English bulldog
I'm four years old. You may have noticed that I'm a little plump. I'm working to get some of my weight down so I can breathe better and play longer. I can't wait to meet you!
Buster, English bulldog
My name is Buster and I'm three years old. I've had a rough life so far and it has taken its toll on me. I have developed some bad habits, including separation anxiety and possessiveness, but don't worry, I'm getting training so I can better deal with these things. Since I'm still a work in progress, I need an experienced home with a strong owner and no kids or other dogs, so I can focus on my training. My family will continue to obtain support from my trainer, even after I'm placed in a home. Do you have what it takes to teach me how to be a good boy?
Bullet, English bulldog
I was surrendered by my family. I am a very good boy and am having a hard time in rescue because I miss having a family and a home to live in. My ideal home would have an active person or family, as I like to go on long walks and enjoy chewing on a frozen Kong with peanut butter or eating my food out of puzzle feeders. My ideal home would be in an area that doesn’t have a lot of people walking their dogs around me, and if the home has a yard, it must be secured with tall fencing. I need a home that is patient and understands all that I have been through. Inquire about me today. I would love to get a second chance at a brand new life!
Lola Paul, English bulldog
I'm seven years old. My owners were moving and unable to take me with them. I'm not a fan of other dogs but I love to hang out and relax with my people. My favorite activities are napping and supervising yard work in my foster home. I need a home with kids 12-plus and no stairs. I have arthritis and need drops for dry eye. I would really like a loving home to spend my retirement. Is that you?
Brutus, English bulldog
I'm nine years old, but let me tell you, there is nothing better than a senior to add to your home. No puppy training or any of that stuff — I am a seasoned professional at making you happy! Smiles? I've got tons for you. Cuddles? Bring them on! I'm a super-sweet guy who loves kids and other dogs and I can't wait to be a part of a family again.
Hariot, English bulldog
Meet Hariot, a five-year-old female ready for adoption. Hariot has lived nicely with children ages 1-12 years, but she does not get along with cats. Hariot is very athletic and requires a daily exercise regimen providing her with lots of playtime. She loves to chase balls, run and get lots of hugs and kisses. Hariot needs an experienced dog owner who is able to establish boundaries for behavior and consistently enforce these boundaries with positive reinforcement, which she responds to well.
Harley, chihuahua mix
Though Harley is 10 years old, this little guy doesn't show his age at all. He gets along with other dogs at the facility where he stays, but he can be pickier when he gets in a home — he would probably do best as an only dog, as he wants your attention all to himself. Harley has some special behavioral needs, so we will want his adopters to work with our trainer after bringing Harley home to make his transition a smooth happy one for all.
