Story
No one knows you like your foster mom, and here’s what Rocko’s has to say about him: “Rocko is my EASIEST foster yet!!! [He is] truly an easy dog for someone looking for a companion. He genuinely likes people and dogs, is submissive to our Alpha female dog, and is not overly excited to engage. He is a people pleaser who rarely barks. Rocko likes to play with toys, especially tug o’ war, and he loves giving kisses.” Rocko also is housetrained, crate trained, adept at using a doggie door, and knows how to sit, lay down, and shake. His foster mom reports that Rocko is a “go with the flow” guy who loves to hang out and adapts easily to new situations, people, and dogs. What breed is Rocko you ask? We wondered too! The results are in, drumroll please... Rocko's DNA results show he is 48.7% American Bulldog, 24% American Bully, 18.2% Bulldog and 9.1% SUPERmut! Rocko does well with dogs that are similar in size to him, though he hasn’t met any small dogs yet. He’s 57 lbs., about 8 years old, and a fantastic walker. In addition to high praise from his foster mom, our lead trainer, Carlo, wants everyone to know that “Rocko is an awesome pup!” Are you ready to give Rocko the forever home he’s been waiting for in exchange for many, many free kisses?

Meet Charlotte! This adorable 3-year-old cutie is a playful, affectionate pup who’s ready to find her forever family or a foster. Weighing in at 50 pounds, she loves chasing after toys, soaking up the sun, and keeping an eye on the world from her favorite window perch. She needs a patient human who understands she takes a little time to warm up to strangers. Charlotte enjoys her daily walks and is happiest when she’s by your side, getting all the attention she deserves. She’s a smart girl, fully housetrained, and knows commands like place, sit, stay, and down. Charlotte is also a pro at using the doggy door!

Story
Stunningly gorgeous 3-year-old female Bulldog-American Staffordshire terrier mix love bug Dixie, is ready for her loving, forever family. Dixie is the sweetest girl with the sweetest demeanor. She’s adorable when taking treats, as she gives high fives while sitting and waiting. Dixie walks perfectly on a leash and anyone, so anyone could walk this beauty very easily. She has that bulldog demeanor and disposition and loves to stop at times to lie down and check out the scenery. Dixie loves everyone she meets and weighs 58 pounds of love and sweetness, with a shorter, chunkier build. She’s a gem of a dog that will add love and happiness to any bully-loving family looking for a more laid-back four-legged family member to their loving home. Dixie was kenneled with two different male dogs and doesn’t seem to mind other dogs around her, or would be great as the only dog receiving all the love and attention.  Dixie is spayed, received a comprehensive fecal test, and a full wellness exam is current on all of her vaccinations, including her influenza and she’s microchipped. Dixie is packed with her favorite bed and treats and she’s ready for a loving family to make her part of their loving family. If you're interested in adopting Dixie, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com. You can also check out our social media pages on Instagram (@Doggie_Bonez_Inc_) and Facebook (Doggie Bonez) to see more of Dixie's cuteness. Our dog adoption fee, which includes vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, spaying, or neutering, is $500. If adoption isn't an option, please consider fostering one of our pups. We are a volunteer run non-profit dog rescue and always welcome new short and/or long term doggie foster families. We greatly appreciate the help and time of our fosters. You provide all the love, comfort and safety of a home and we supply you with everything else you may need, dog food, dog bed, toys, medical attention (if needed) etc. If you are interested please visit www.doggiebonez.com to see all of our available dogs who need a foster family while waiting for their fur-ever home and complete the foster application.   May 4, 2025, 12:27 am

Story
Meet Keisy! She's a total sweetheart that loves all the attention and lots of pets. She full body vibrates when she gets excited to meet someone and is constantly trying to kiss your face. She loves to be outside frequently but gets tired out on walks after like a mile. Otherwise she's pretty calm and could snooze all day. She is mostly house trained but has occasionally had accidents (seems to be if she's looking for extra attention if you're focused on something else for a few minutes). She can be very protective of her family when it comes to other dogs, so she will bark at them. When walking she wants to say hi to everyone and is very friendly to all people. Keisy can't wait to find a loving forever home! *************************************************************** Interested in adopting this pet?

Meet Maximus! This 9-month-old Bulldog/Beagle mix is the perfect blend of squishy cuteness and playful charm.

The more we get to know Diesel, the more love this guy. He’s such a sweet guy and loves effortlessly. He thrives in the company of other dogs and listens well. When he is in his kennel, he is reserved but when outside he loves to greet volunteers and other dogs. He is working on getting some leash manners in and is young so has a lot of energy. Diesel would thrive in an active home, and one committed to continue with his training. He is almost 2 years old and weighs 78 pounds. If you’re looking for a sweet, young dog to welcome home, apply to adopt or foster Diesel on our website www.thelittlereddog.orgMarch 20, 2025, 6:09 pm

Story
Hi! My name is Mattie, and I'm an adorable 3.5-year-old English Bulldog who weighs about 71 pounds. I have a temporary foster, so I'm looking for a longer-term foster or even better, a forever home! My friends at TLRD say I'm super sweet and ridiculously stubborn. Hey, I've got personality, baby! I'd never been walked on a leash before coming here, so I'm learning how to do that with the volunteer dog walkers here. I'll need to keep up that practice and have at least 2 solid walks a day so I can be the best possible version of me! I'll do best in a home with older kids (or no kids). Oh, and here's a silly fact about me...I hate hate hate the crate (I can rhyme too!). I can’t wait to meet you! Please submit an application today!March 9, 2025, 6:13 pm
