Story
Meet Cooper: A Big-Hearted Bulldog Mix with Energy to SpareCooper is a 2-year-old American Bulldog mix who’s equal parts muscle, mischief, and marshmallow. Athletic and high-drive, he thrives with routine, structure, and clear expectations. While he loves his cozy time with his favorite blankie, once he’s up, it’s go time—long walks, durable toys, and mental challenges keep this strong, smart boy at his best. He already knows basic commands like sit and down, and he’s generally good on leash, though a confident handler is key to keeping his excitement in check.Cooper has a very high prey drive, so he needs a home with no cats or small animals. With a proper introduction, he may do well with either a male or female canine companion that is closer to his size. A slow and proper introduction is reccomended, and a Meet & Greet onsite is required if you do have another dog. Due to his strength and tendency to get overstimulated, he’s also best suited for an adult-only home with bulldog-savvy adopters. In the right hands, Cooper will be a loyal, loving companion who’s as happy tackling a training challenge as he is curling up in his blanket. If you’ve got the experience, patience, and a stash of heavy-duty toys, Cooper might just be the bulldog mix you’ve been waiting for.

Story
Meet Junior – A Big-Hearted Boy Looking for His PersonJunior is a 1.5-year-old American Bulldog mix with a goofy smile and a heart full of love. While he can be a little unsure at first, once he gets to know you, his sweet and affectionate side shines through.Junior is still learning his leash manners and can be a strong puller, so he’ll need an adopter who can provide him with consistent guidance and training. He isn’t the biggest fan of other dogs and has unfortunately failed his cat test. Junior is very high energy and is still working on his spatial awareness so he is best suited to a home without young children. What Junior truly wants is a person he can bond with—someone patient and willing to help him grow into the confident companion he’s meant to be. In return, he’ll reward you with loyalty, love, and plenty of charm.If you’re looking for a dog who will thrive with structure and affection, Junior may just be your perfect match!Junior would do best in a home without young children

Story
Meet Pablo – a hopeful 8-month-old Akbash cross searching for a special kind of home.Pablo is deeply fearful and not well socialized, so the world can feel very big and overwhelming to him. Loud noises, fast movement, and new places are scary right now—but underneath it all is a gentle boy who wants to learn what safe, patient love feels like.Pablo will need a dedicated and experienced adopter who understands fear, can move at his pace, and is ready to commit to building his confidence from the ground up. This isn’t a quick-fix dog—it’s a journey dog. The kind where trust is earned slowly, routines are sacred, and small wins become celebrations.A calm, predictable home with respectful humans (kids 10+), low pressure, and a structured enrichment and confidence-building plan will help Pablo grow. He needs someone willing to show him that the world doesn’t have to be so scary.If you have the heart, time, and dedication for a shy young dog who truly needs you… Pablo is ready to try—when you are. ??
