Meet Helium (aka Meat, Meathead, Grandpa) 🐾
9 years old | 63 lbs | Old English Bulldog
Say hello to **Helium**, affectionately known as **Meat** — 63 pounds of bulldog charm, 9 years young, and fully committed to living his best golden-years life. This Old English Bulldog is a retired heavyweight champ who’s swapped the ring for **naps, snacks, and deluxe belly rubs**. He snores like a freight train and considers it a feature, not a flaw.
What Helium Brings to the Table:
Certified love bug: Cuddles and back scratches are his favorite pastime.
Chill vibes only: Easygoing, confident, laid-back, and gloriously unbothered by drama.
Socially polite: Helium is okay with other dogs and cats in passing or for short, calm interactions but he would prefer to be **the only pet in the home**, where he can soak up all the attention.
Cool customer (literally): He overheats easily, so his forever home must include good AC and short, leisurely walks in cooler weather.
Crate pro: He’s got crate life mastered and appreciates a cozy space to relax.
Helium’s Favorite Hobbies:
Super-slow strolls when the weather is cool
Being doted on like the king he is
Lounging like a seasoned professional
Collecting nicknames (and yes, you’ll definitely add a few of your own)
His Story:
Helium landed in the shelter after being abandoned in an apartment (rude!). But true to form, he bounced back like a champ and is now thriving in foster care — ready for a family who will treat him the way he deserves.
The Bottom Line:
Helium is the **ultimate couch companion**. He’s not looking for marathons or mountains — just a cool, comfy home, plenty of belly rubs, and humans who believe underbites are simply smiles in their purest form.
**Adopt Helium.** Because every handsome old soul deserves a retirement full of love, belly rubs, snacks, and naps. 💙🐶

The Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation was founded by Gary and Annette Hatton who saw a great gap in our society when it comes to the care and support of special needs animals and seniors. These animals are the ones most left behind and typically deemed un-salvageable or un-adoptable due to their medical conditions and age.
We foster many different types of animals with special needs and/or disabilities in the hopes that they will one day be adopted into a loving home. If one cannot be found, we provide the comfort, care and forever home they need.
Due to the nature of farm animals being more challenging to adopt out, these special guys typically become our permanent residents!
Our amazing team of volunteers are committed to helping animals in our community. We take our convictions and turn them into action.
