My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🐾 Meet Connie: The True House Hippo! 🐾

Connie is a 6-year-old Bulldog who has truly mastered the art of lounging, loving, and stealing hearts. She came to us from our partners at Players for Pits when a foster home wasn’t available for her, and while it’s clear she’s had a hard life, this resilient girl is ready to find her perfect forever family.
Connie has some medical concerns we are actively addressing, and a few that may be ongoing, but that doesn’t stop her from being the sweetest, most affectionate girl. She is all about cozy couch cuddles, gentle snuggles, and simply being by your side.

While Connie has done well in a home with other dogs, there was one incident, so we believe she may do well with the right canine companion—ideally a calmer, more easygoing dog who matches her mellow energy.

✨ Connie’s specialties include:
Oversized couch cuddles and “house hippo” lounging 🛋️
Soft, affectionate snuggles 🤎
A queenly, charming presence wherever she goes 👑

Connie deserves a family who will love her unconditionally, manage her medical needs, and let her bask in all the comfort and affection she’s been waiting for. If you’re looking for a snuggle superstar full of bulldog charm, Connie is your girl!
