Harvey

American Bulldog

Male, 7 yrs 1 mo
Chula Vista, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
After picking up Harvey from the shelter, he has proven to have some of the best qualities of a true American Bulldog. He is people friendly, confident but not dominant, strong, energetic, ready to please, and he loves car rides. He has been neutered and is up to date on vaccines. He is crate trained. He is house broken. He loves to go on walks or have plenty of fenced yard to play. He is already a great leash walker! American Bulldogs dogs are known to get into mischief in the house without exercise. When he’s ready to relax, he will sit right next to you and enjoy being close to his human. He responds well to “sit,” “come,” and “give paw.” Harvey would probably be best with an active person or family or a family with older children (12 or older) due to his size. He needs to be the only pet in the house. Harvey suffered significant left-side facial trauma due to dog bites before he was rescued. There is no long term damage, but the repair has given him a unique look! Harvey might be the most well behaved bulldog we have rescued. If you’re looking for a new companion, consider Harvey!

Story
Luna is a friendly, people-loving bulldog mix who’s looking for her forever home. At approximately 3 years old and 53lbs, she’s the perfect size for cuddling, and she has a calm, gentle temperament with only the occasional bark. Luna is housebroken, knows basic commands like “sit” and “shake” (paw), and enjoys her daily walks, sunbathing sessions, and chewing on her favorite toys. While she’s a loving companion, Luna does need to be the only pet in the household and would thrive in a home with no children under 12. She’s up to date on all her vaccinations and in excellent health. Luna is ready to bring joy to a person or family who wants to give this sweet, deserving girl a second chance at the loving home she deserves.

Story
Meet Morgan! She is a 2 year old Bully breed mix. She is an INCREDIBLY fun-loving pup. She absolutely LOVES to learn and will make a perfect adventure pal. She especially gets along best with male dogs. We sent her to CRT K9 to undergo training and she is ready for adoption! They've tested her for search/rescue work, as well as climbing work, jump work, and running. She passes every qualification test with flying colors! She thrives in everything. We've never seen a pup so capable of so much. She'll do best in a home without small animals (she has prey drive ), or other female dogs.March 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Hi! I'm looking for a loving home because my current family isn't allowed to have dogs in our new home. I'm a sweet boy who loves kids, people, cats and female dogs. I don't do too well with other male dogs if they try to be alpha over me. I am crate and leash trained. I love toys and to play fetch. Mom says I'm a really good boy. If you want to meet me please contact Robin phone number (619)729-3397 email: robin.mullet01@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Hi! Diva here, I`m a sweet girl who loves affection. I recently went into a foster home in hopes to help me with my confidence.
