Story

Buddha is a 5-year-old, 47-pound Low Rider Bulldog with a heart as big as his adorable blocky head. This sweet boy first arrived at ACCT Philly after being spotted wandering the streets, following strangers while struggling in the summer heat. Lost, overheated, and clearly in need of help, Buddha quickly made his way into rescue. We don't know how long he had been on his own, but it's obvious that life hadn't been easy for him recently. Despite whatever hardships he's faced, Buddha has remained an absolute gem. True to his breed, he is equal parts laid-back companion and goofy entertainer. He loves nothing more than lounging near his people, soaking up affection, and flashing his charming smile. Buddha is the kind of dog who is happy just being part of the family, whether that means joining you for a slow stroll, snoozing by your side on the couch, or accepting all the belly rubs and ear scratches you can offer. His easygoing, affectionate personality has made him an instant favorite with everyone he meets. Sadly, Buddha is also a reminder of the lifelong consequences that can come from irresponsible breeding practices. The exaggerated low-riding build and poorly cropped ears he was left with have contributed to ongoing ear and skin issues that are common in the breed. When Buddha arrived, he was suffering from a painful ear infection and had multiple scabs and sores around his ears. He is currently receiving treatment and is already feeling much more comfortable, but healing will take time. His future family should be prepared for the possibility of ongoing ear and skin care as part of keeping him healthy and comfortable. Like many Bulldogs, he may require regular veterinary attention and maintenance to manage these conditions. Buddha doesn't let any of that dampen his spirit. He greets each day with a wagging tail, a hopeful heart, and plenty of Bulldog charm. After spending too much time fending for himself, this lovable low rider is ready for what he deserves most: a family who will cherish him, keep him safe, and spoil him silly for the rest of his days. Could that family be yours? He will come neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and 4dx tested. He is also had his nares done to help him breathe better.

Story

Hello world! My name is Charlie and I`m on the hunt for my `furever` home! I came to the shelter when my last family thought it was best to find me a home where I could thrive to my fullest potential! I came all the way from Puerto Rico so you can consider me an adventurer, who especially loves long walks and hikes with my favorite humans. I also enjoy the company of other dogs as long as they aren`t too rough with me! I am an all-star pup who knows some basic commands and I`m house broken and crate trained! I do ask any kiddos in the home to be 5 and older, who can give me space and won`t touch my paws, so no in-home `pawdicures` for me! I`m not sure how I feel about cats, but with my breed we are known to have high prey drives, so with a dog savvy cat, I may be able to coexist with one! Do I sound like the perfect addition to your family? If so, come by the shelter and meet me today!---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm.---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org
