Hello, Hello, Hello!
I am Hugo! I am four years old but have the spirit of a 1 year old puppy! I am a ball of energy for a bulldog, but crash out just as hard as I play! I am 64 pounds of bulldog fun! (I am currently on a diet, which is NO fun at all, but I will look so amazing once I get in shape!)
I was left in a foreclosed home, with no food and no water. I am now desperate for love and attention. I know my basic commands: sit, lay down, stay; But really could use some work when it comes to my manners! I will need a strong “pack leader” to teach me rules and discipline me when I get rambuncious.
I am very good spirited, my foster parents say I do not have an aggressive bone in my body, but I apparently don't know my own strength because sometimes they say “OW!” when we play! It makes me sad because then they don't want to play with me any more. Don’t they know I am just showing them some ‘bulldog love’?!
For this reason, I probably shouldn't be adopted to a family with small kids. But I would love a family with another dog that I could “ruff house” with. I like to chase kitties, I wont hurt them, I promise, but I will chase them until they stop running! It’s fun for me, but not for the cats.
I am generally healthy. I came into rescue with an ear infection but the good people at Love-A-Bull have gotten that under control! I am feeling much better. I am a little heavy, and could stand to lose a few pounds, so I am told that I need to go home with a family that will feed me good quality food, take me on walks and not spoil me with treats (I promise I wont tell on you if you cheat every once in a while!)
The people who left me behind were not the first to give up on me, I have been in rescue before so I really need a committed forever home, could that be you?
I am still very young and have a lot of spunk! Be prepared for the sweetest, most loving boy you could possibly meet!
Please note, my foster home will be choosing the best home for me! Be sure to read our adoption process and requirements, and don’t forget to submit your application.
I am spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.*****My adoption donation will be $450. A home visit and reference check will be done to make sure I am going to the most perfect humans in the world!
I can’t wait to meet my forever home.
You MUST fill out an application if you want to be considered for my home. NO inquiries will be returned without an application on file. We DO NOT adopt outside of Arizona, and we do not adopt to homes with more than 2 dogs.

Would you consider making a donation towards the rescue dog’s care?? Your donation will go towards their food, treats, toys and vet care. They will re-pay you with a personalized e-mail and big wet kiss!
*WHY ARE SOME DOG’S ADOPTION FEES HIGHER THAN OTHERS?
The adoption donation fees are based on age, health and needed vet care of the dogs we have taken in. The younger, healthier dogs help to pay for their cousins that need a little more TLC. You adoption donation fee also covers the cost of the spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchip of your new dog.
*CAN WE COME SEE YOUR DOGS?
All of our dogs are in foster homes around the Phoenix area. We require an application to be filled out, a home check to be done, and vet reference check to be complete before having you come meet the dog of your dreams! We will ONLY contact you when we have a potential match.
*I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL DOGS WHO I THINK WOULD FIT MY HOME, BUT THEY ARE NOW ADOPTED. WHY?
We take a lot of time to get to know our dogs in rescue. Some are barkers, which cannot go into condos or apartments, some require companionship of other dogs, and some are not good with children. Each dog is unique!
*IS THERE A WAITING LIST OF APPROVED APPLICANTS?
YES! That is why even if you are not ready to adopt, get your application into us if you want to be considered for a future adoption.
*I AM LOOKING FOR A PUPPY OR VERY YOUNG BULLDOG.
Well, you have come to the wrong place. Rescue dogs on average are between 3 and 7 years old, we do not get puppies into rescue. We would, however, be able to refer you to a reputable breeder.
*BULLDOGS ARE SO EXPENSIVE! WHY?
If you are looking for a cheap bulldog by choosing rescue, need not apply! Rescue dogs are dogs that are going to need ongoing vet care, and a lot of love and training from their new humans. We only adopt to homes that truly want to RESCUE a homeless bulldog. This is not the place to find a “cheaper” bulldog.
*I HAVE AN APPLICATION ON FILE, AND HAVE CALLED A FEW TIMES, WITH NO RESPONSE.
We will contact you when we believe we have a dog that is a match.
Please remember: Not only are bulldogs adorable and cute, they are also high-maintenance and expensive! ☺
