Story
We love Maverick and were very excited when he joined our family two years ago. He is a great playmate to our other dog and kids. We are told he was born in May of 2022. The family we got him from was moving abroad and couldn't keep him. They got him from a breeder and we even saw photos of his parents (mom English bulldog and dad American bulldog). Unfortunately, over the past year, Maverick has lost control of his hind legs and is incontinent. (He was house and crate trained prior to the medical issues.) We've seen a neurologist who suspects he has a vertebral malformation or a Subarachnoid Diverticulum. We tried steroids in hopes they would help but they didn't. Maverick is a big teddy bear & deserves a family that can give him to love, care, and attention he needs. He knows his commands but has to be enticed with food/treats. He can be stubborn at times. He loves bananas & bone shaped biscuits from Petsmart and Trader Joes. He has a sensitive tummy and allergies (Claritin).

Story
Sammee is the most handsome dog you'll ever meet. He’s so sweet and loving to his people! When meeting new people, he is timid. He doesn’t like to meet them on a leash (we think he had some past traumas). When we have him meet people in our home, we usually put Sammee in his kennel, let everyone come in and get settled, and then bring him out. He does great that way! He will be your best friend, try and sit in your lap, and get all the attention! We groom him ourselves so we don’t know how he does at a groomers. When we leave the house, he is used to being out with doggie door access. He doesn’t love staying in his kennel for long periods of times, but he is pretty chill. Just beware of any food left out… he will get into it! We are looking for a new home for him because we don’t have the finances to keep up with his food and care and are just very busy in this season of life. We are hoping we can find someone looking for a loving, cuddly, teddy bear to love him how he deserves!
