Story
Pumpkin is available for adoption in Los Angeles, California only Meet Pumpkin, a three year old French Bulldog who is as sweet as his name. He was found dumped and brought to a shelter, where he was at risk for euthanasia simply for having a condition that looks more concerning than it actually is. Pumpkin has a congenital difference where the skin around his penis is split. It does not affect his quality of life. He urinates normally, has zero incontinence, and is not in any pain. He is not a candidate for surgery, and while he may be slightly more prone to UTIs, he has not had any issues so far. He is otherwise a happy, healthy boy who is ready to live a full and normal life. And his personality truly shines. Pumpkin is playful, fun, and still has that adorable puppy energy in the best way. He is very well behaved, loves people, and gets along great with everyone he meets. He is the kind of dog that brings joy wherever he goes. Pumpkin is looking for a loving home that will see past his minor difference and give him the life he deserves. He has so much love to give and cannot wait to meet his forever family. ##2721896##

Story
This stunning boy has landed homeless and is seeking help to start a new beginning. Will Elvis be the new king in your life?

He will cower down if he gets scared but will continue to walk with gentle pets and coaxing. 🔸Current Location: Walker County, Alabama (Transport to FL will be arranged once a home is established) Notes📝: Loves pets and cuddles Loves to run in the yard and play with others. He doesn’t like bossy dogs. He will cage-argue with a bossy dog but if they are both off lead, he will retreat to his kennel. Zero bite history-Elvis was totally unsocialized when I got him but he learned to trust and love quickly. It has been baby steps but he is a great dog. 💻 If you are interested in Fostering or Fostering-to-Adopt with Ewenity please visit our website and 📩 apply at the link below! ewenityfarmsbch.com 💕 Help us make a difference one pup at a time 🐾

Buddy is the kind of dog everyone’s asks us for. A friend to all. Dog friendly, cat friendly, gentle with children. This good boy even does well with chickens!
