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
Rosie – Foster Update (Bulldog Mix, Young Female)House Training:Rosie has come a long way with her house training. She consistently toilets outside and understands she earns praise and a treat. The remaining issue is tied directly to her anxiety: when left alone, she will urinate in the house even if she has just been outside.Separation Anxiety:Rosie’s separation anxiety is severe, not mild. She becomes highly distressed when left alone and does best when a person is nearby. She follows her foster family throughout the home and becomes anxious the moment she cannot see or access them. This behaviour is consistent and has not resolved on its own. She will require an adopter prepared to work with her on structured independence-building and gradual desensitization.Crate Use:Eats in her crate and will nap there occasionally. She is comfortable going in and out of the crate, but crating does not resolve or reduce her anxiety when left alone.Behaviour With People:Very affectionate and people-focused. She bonds quickly and strongly. She barks at new people at first but warms up fast. She is still working on not jumping up when excited.Behaviour With Other Animals:Dogs: Excellent with other dogs. Plays well, runs off energy appropriately, and benefits from having a dog companion.Cats: No aggression. Initially chased them playfully but has learned to be gentle. Now approaches calmly and appears to want to be friendly.Training & Manners:Sits automatically for her leash when it’s time to go outside.Gentle when taking treats.No signs of aggression or resource guarding.Leash walking is improving but she does pull; ongoing training recommended.Learned how to play with toys after observing another dog. Now loves toys and outdoor sticks.Recently discovered her tail and will chase it enthusiastically.Energy Level & Enrichment:High energy and very fast. Enjoys running, playing, and zooming around the yard. Would likely excel in agility or another energy-outlet activity.Car Rides:Loves car rides and does very well in the car.General Personality:Affectionate, playful, energetic, very people-oriented, and eager to learn. Severe separation anxiety is her primary behavioural challenge and requires a committed, structured home to address.Best-Suited Home:Someone home most of the time; not suitable for l
