Story
We adopted/rescued Tija in 2020 my daughter felt I needed another doggo to fill the huge void I had, since I had to let my fur-son of 18yrs cross that rainbow bridge one month prior! I originally posted I’d prefer Tija & my mom’s doggo, Tommy, to be adopted out as a bonded pair BUT I understand not everyone can take both & also understand they may be separated! Tija is a dominant doggo, always up for a good time, loves to run & play, loves walks, loves to be right by your side snuggled up!! Tija gets along with just about every one & every thing! Tija lived with a cat the whole time we had her! Tija was around my newborn granddaughter(2021) her whole time with us, she protected my granddaughter to this day, her bff! 🥹😭 Tija is great with babies to pre-teens! Tija is a very loyal, sweet, goofy, derpy companion…this hurts me to do but we have moved & no pets allowed! 😭🥹 If you know of anyone that wants a lapdog, Tommy was my mamas & he could be yours too!! 🥹😭💔💔

Story
We adopted/rescued Tommy in 2021! Tommy was to be a playmate for Tija(another doggo we have listed here) Tommy became my mamas lapdog, he’s more timid & loved sitting/laying next to her…when mama passed I kept Tommy because he was family!! 🥹💔🥰 Tommy is/was very protective of my mama, never bit or growled…just gets between her & her nurses! Tommy loves hugs, kisses & pets and would be happy on your lap or going for a walk/run & play with toys! I originally posted both dogs as a bonded pair but understand, not everyone can accommodate TWO doggos & willing to adopt one! If that will get them out of shelters/rescues, then they must be separated! If you are interested in a loveable lapdog, then Tommy is your boy! And if you know of someone interested in his more energetic, goofy, playful doggo…then Tommy’s fur-sister Tija, is your gal! Maybe they could still see each other once in awhile! 🥹😭💔💔😔😔(would ease my broken heart 💔💔)

Anubis

American Bulldog American Bulldog

Male, Adult
Rosemead, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Anubis is a 4-year-old American Bully with a big heart and a gentle, loving personality. He is the perfect mix of playful and laid-back, always happy to enjoy walks, toys, treats, or simply relax and cuddle close to his people. He absolutely loves attention and forms very strong bonds, becoming deeply loyal and attached to his owner. Because of this strong attachment, Anubis must be the only pet in the home. He can be dominant and does not do well with other animals, especially dogs, but he has never shown aggression toward people. With humans, he is affectionate, friendly, and truly a gentle giant who just wants to be near his family. We love Anubis very much, but due to growing responsibilities, we can no longer give him the time and attention he deserves. We are hoping to find a caring, committed family who will provide him with a stable, loving home and who would be open to maintaining a positive relationship with us through occasional updates so we can continue to see him happy
