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 Bullseye – A Gentle Heart Looking for a Patient PartnerBullseye is a 2-year-old black-and-white American Bulldog and Boxer mix who’s searching for a calm, understanding home where he can learn to feel safe and confident. New people and unfamiliar situations can be overwhelming for him, and he often starts off nervous and unsure. But once Bullseye warms up, his sweet, affectionate nature shines through, and he forms truly meaningful bonds with the people he trusts.Bullseye is still learning the ropes when it comes to leash manners and tends to pull, so he’ll benefit from someone willing to work with him through patient, positive training. He can be dog selective, but so far he has shown positive, friendly reactions to most dogs. With proper introductions, he may enjoy having the right canine companion. He’s a bit wary of cats, but with a slow, thoughtful introduction, he should be able to share a home with one.One thing Bullseye takes great pride in is keeping his space tidy—he likes his kennel clean and mess-free, a small but charming glimpse into his personality.Bullseye is a sensitive boy who needs time to come out of his shell, but with understanding, routine, and gentle guidance, he has all the potential to become a devoted and loving companion. For someone willing to show him patience and consistency, Bullseye will return that kindness with a loyal heart and a lifetime of love.

Story
Meet Alexander – A Gentle Heart Looking for a Patient HomeAlexander is an almost 7-year-old male dog who is searching for a quiet, adult-only home where he can feel secure and move at his own pace. He’s shy when first meeting new people and may need multiple meet-and-greets to build confidence, but with patience and consistency, he slowly opens up and forms meaningful bonds.Alexander does well with calm dogs, and a meet-and-greet with any resident dog is required to ensure compatibility. He has also passed his cat test, making him a potential match for a home with cats.

He walks well on leash and benefits from regular exercise as part of his routine. He’s a dog who blossoms with time, structure, and gentle guidance.Alexander is looking for an understanding adopter who will give him the space he needs to feel safe and the patience to let trust grow naturally.
