My story

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

Name: Wilson 



Age: 9 years old



Weight: 75 lbs 



Breed: American bulldog Mix





Senior gentleman Wilson has had an unpredictable home for most of his life. He ended up in the shelter a few times because his owner could not take care of him, but he was always eventually reclaimed. When his owner was evicted in September, Wilson and his feline sibling were left behind, trapped in their apartment. Thankfully they were rescued, but for Wilson it was the start of a difficult few months. Back in the city shelter once again, Wilson slowly started to shut down, becoming more anxious everyday, eventually refusing to go on walks, interact with staff and barely eating. In November, Wilson was moved to the euthanasia list and his time was running out. 



Thankfully, at the last minute a kind hearted foster came forward and agreed to take in this gentle giant so we were able to welcome him to our rescue. Wilson was a little nervous at all the changes, but after a few days of love and attention in a home with 2 cats and a small dog, Wilson relaxed and showed us what an amazing addition to any family he would.



Wilson is a happy, playful guy who adores spending time with his people. He doesn’t need to sleep in the bed with you but he would love to curl up in a dog bed right beside you at night. He doesn’t need to be entertained when you want a quiet evening but he would love to snuggle on the couch with you. He doesn’t need you to take him hiking every weekend but he would love a game of fetch at the park.



Wilson is cat, dog and kid friendly, but he is a big boy who will need a playdate with dogs and kids before deciding if he is the right match for you.



Wilson had some issues with his teeth when he first came to us but has had a full dental and is now in much better shape. He does have some teeth missing and would do well with softer food and treats. 



If you think you can give Wilson all the love he deserves and would like to meet him, please go to Petstablished.com or follow the link below to complete an application to adopt. All of our animals are in foster homes. For the sake of our animals and foster families, you must have an approved application with references before you can meet them.

More about this rescue

We are a unique rescue, aiming to appeal to people who typically buy from pet stores and breeders. We want to promote adoption in a positive and fun way. We have the same goal as other shelters- to find homeless dogs and cats their forever homes, but we want to change the stigma some people have towards shelters and its animals by creating a chic place that people will want to go to.
We are always on the lookout for animal lovers who are interested in fostering our pets. Please contact us if you would like to assist us with this or other volunteer opportunities.
