Story
I have an American bully. His name is Duke and he’s 2 years old. He’s a great dog. Friendly with everyone. Doesn’t bite other than a little bit of play biting when he gets excited. I’m looking for a good home for him. I have a job that requires me to be away from him for about 14 hours a day. Unfortunately I can’t give him the attention that he needs.

Story
We adopted Ringo in February of 2017. At the time he was around 6 months old and was born in a litter of hunting dogs. We were told he did not do well as a hunting dog and so his owner dropped him off at a shelter. We worked closely with him for 6 months potty training and helping him to trust men. He is now a happy boy who loves everyone and especially those who play tug with him. We have tried to find time to care for him but haven't been able give him the time and attention he needs. He has lived with another dog his whole life and has experience with kids too. His main quirk is wrapping himself up in a blanket on the couch. He prefers to sleep under covers and prefers not to be disturbed when doing so.
