My story

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

Orlando — A Gentle Soul Still Believing in Hope 🌟

Orlando is a 5-year-old American Bulldog mix whose heart carries stories no dog should ever have to know. His life before rescue wasn’t easy, and because of that, he’s careful about who he lets into his world — both humans and doggy friends. But when Orlando chooses you… it’s for life. 🤍

This sweet boy hasn’t given up. He still believes. He still hopes.
He’s waiting for that special person — someone patient, kind, and experienced, who understands that trust isn’t instant… but earned.

Someone who knows that healing takes time, and that the love waiting on the other side is deep, loyal, and incredibly special. 🐾✨

Orlando finds joy in the simple comforts: 🛏️ Lounging on his cozy Kuranda bed
🧸 Enjoying his favorite toys
🍖 Treats (a big win!)
💛 And most of all — feeling safe and understood

What Orlando needs isn’t perfection — it’s consistency, calm, and compassion. A home where voices are gentle, routines are steady, and hands are kind. A place where he can finally exhale and know he’s home. 🏡💕

If you’re experienced with Bulldogs… If you believe in second chances… If your heart feels that quiet pull reading his story…

Orlando may be waiting for you.

Additional adoption info

Once the process is complete. If vet, references, and the adopter check out we will proceed. We do a home visit with the pet and if we feel something isn't right we won't adopt. We are very particular where our adoptables go.
