We have had our 5 year old bully since birth, and she has done very well until she turned about 4. She tore both of her ACL’s and ended up needing multiple surgeries to repair them completely. She is now healed and as healthy as ever (up to date on all immunizations, medical appointments, heart guard, etc) and as playful as ever. Her issue now, however is that she has become extremely aggressive towards our older German shepherd that she has been around her entire life. We did everything we possible could to help her, including sending her to a very expensive boarding school for over a month. She is very obedient now and utilizes an E-Collar all the time and a muzzle when on walks. She still can not be around our other dog as even with the efforts and training, she still tries to attack him. We additionally have a 1 year old son in the home that Stella does amazing with. She is the biggest teddy bear with humans, is a huge goofball and has a good heart. She needs a responsible owner.

Lola is a sweet, loyal 3–4 year old American Bulldog who weighs 60 lbs and is fully grown. She’s the definition of a gentle soul. She is calm, affectionate, and happiest when she’s simply spending time with the people she loves. Lola is a laid-back couch potato who would love nothing more than to lounge beside you during a movie marathon, nap at your feet while you work, or stretch out in a sunny spot for an afternoon snooze. Though she enjoys her relaxation time, Lola also has a playful side. She loves playing fetch with her balls, soaking up warmth on sunny days, and watching squirrels run through the trees as if she’s catching up on her favorite nature show. She’s wonderful at entertaining herself and is incredibly easy to live with. If you work from home, she’s the perfect companion. She's content to snooze, chew on a bone, or entertain herself with her toys while you focus, but always ready to give you a soft nuzzle or wagging tail during breaks. Lola is a true sweetheart with new people she meets and is very polite during introductions. She will sit there patiently, just quietly watching with hope and curiosity until you invite her over for pets and snuggles. She is a major lover of food, so just share some yummy treats with her and you will forever be her best friend. She takes treats with the gentlest, softest bulldog lips and has a way of looking at you with those big, soulful eyes that makes you feel instantly loved. She loves being with her people and will follow you from room to room like a big, loyal bulldog shadow. She is truly the type of dog that just blends seamlessly into whatever environment she is in and is always happy just being in her human's presence, no matter what you're doing. If you want to have a lazy movie day and cuddle on the couch, she's up for it. If you want to go on a fun outdoor adventure, she's up for that too. Lola is ready to bring unconditional love, steady companionship, and a peaceful, comforting presence to the lucky family who chooses her. She has so much love to give and she’s just waiting for her forever people to give it to. Lola is low to medium energy, so she has short bursts of energy that can be easily burned with play sessions outside in the backyard or leisurely walks around the neighborhood. She loves it when her humans are involved in her outdoor activities, whether it is tossing her favorite balls for a game of fetch or engaging in training activities with her favorite treats. She enjoys a nice balance of playtime and relaxation, and loves to cuddle up on the couch for cuddles and naps after each play session. She gets her energy out by running around the yard and being silly as she plays with her doggy friends. While she enjoys playing with her doggy friends, she’s also perfectly content to entertain herself with her favorite toys when she can't find another pup to play with. Her favorite activities involve engaging in mental stimulation games with her humans. Hide a treat is her favorite and loves to play with doggy puzzles that she can work at to get her favorite treats out. When she is in her forever home, she would love to go on casual neighborhood walks and explore nature trails on longer hikes. Her ideal home will have a toy box full of squeaky toys, tennis balls, and chew toys, and she’d be thrilled to have a BarkBox subscription to keep the fun going with new surprises every month. Lola is dog friendly and kid friendly. She loves to play and cuddle with the resident dogs in her foster home. She is currently in a foster home with both large and small dogs that range in age from young adult to senior. She does well with them all, and is respectful of their personal space and understands when they are ready for nap time. When she's in a playful mood, but knows they don't want to play with her, she will find a toy to keep herself entertained with or curl up on the couch to nap instead. She does best with low energy, laid back dogs and does need to do slow intros with new dogs she meets only because she's the type of dog that just wants to coexist around other dogs at first. Once she's comfortable and knows that new dog isn't going to be mean to her, she lets her guard down and will start playing with them. She is avoidant when it comes to conflict with other dogs and if another dog is reactive towards her, she will try her best to avoid them and just walk away. She would do perfectly fine being the only dog in the home, but she really loves her current doggy friends and would love to have a laid back dog in her forever home to play and cuddle with. Lola has done well with kids she has met, but because of her big bulldog wiggle butt, it is recommended no babies or toddlers that she may knock over if she gets excited and her big tail starts wagging hard. She loves to play fetch and share her sweet puppy kisses, and is very gentle when she asks for affection. She would do great with a family with older kids who want a cuddly, loving pup to play and snuggle with. She has not been introduced to cats, so it is recommended there be no kitties in the home to be on the safe side, unless you can do very slow intros and can keep them separated if needed. Lola is kennel trained, potty trained, and leash trained. She sleeps in a kennel at night with no fuss and just likes to be tucked into bed with a yummy treat to work on until she falls asleep. She would really love to sleep in bed with her humans in her forever home, or even on a dog bed near their bed so she can be close to them while she sleeps. She is fully potty trained and will not have an accident in the house. She is great with routines and schedules, and adjusts her potty breaks based on her fosters' schedules. She does sleep through the night without needing to go outside, so don't worry - she won't wake you up in the middle of the night for a potty break. When it comes to walking on a leash, she is a bulldog and is very strong, so she can pull initially if she has lots of pent up energy. Her fosters are working on loose leash training methods for walks and are making progress, but she still needs more practice. For this reason, it is recommended that she lives in a lower traffic area or suburban neighborhood where she can have more space on sidewalks to continue practicing. However, if she lives in a high traffic area, an experienced adopter would be able to continue working with her. She is very treat motivated and trainable, but needs her adopter to also be motivated to continue practicing with her. Lola's ideal home would be with a bulldog savvy adopter in a house with a fenced in backyard for her to run around and play in. She would not do well in an apartment, townhouse, or condo because she really enjoys spending time lounging in the backyard sunbathing and playing fetch. She would love if her human works from home or has a hybrid schedule because she really loves being with her humans, but would do perfectly fine if her human works out of the home as long as she gets some cuddles and playtime in before you head to the office. No public dog parks for this sweet girl (who wants to risk your pup catching a disease or being bullied on by other random dogs anyways), but would love to go to Sniff Spots or have occasional play dates with doggy friends. She would do love to have a family with older kids to play and cuddle with, and would do well with another laid back, lower energy dog in the home to cuddle and play with. She would also be perfectly fine being the center of attention in her forever home and being the only fur-child to her humans. If you’ve been dreaming of a devoted snuggle buddy, a gentle companion, and a loyal best friend, Lola is the perfect dog for you. Lola is in a foster home in Austin, Texas.

Submitting an application is not a confirmation that the adoption will be approved/completed. Before submitting the application, please read the FULL description on PetFinder describing the dog's personality, energy level, housing requirements and our policy on meet and greets. The cost to adopt is $530 - $550, depending on where she is transported to. The cost to adopt includes a $300 adoption fee and a $230 - $250 transport fee (it will be $250 for transport to the PNW and $230 for other states not in the PNW).

Meet Baylard, a stunning American Bulldog mix with a heart full of love and a story that’s touched everyone at Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue. Baylard was adopted last year and moved to Texas, but when he developed epilepsy, his owner abandoned him at a vet’s office. We immediately arranged for his safe return to California, and now we’re determined to find him the forever home he truly deserves. Baylard is a fantastic dog with so much to offer. He’s well-trained, housebroken, and adores all people. His epilepsy is well-managed with a couple of daily pills, and as long as he stays on his medication, he’s happy, healthy, and seizure-free. The vet who cared for him confirmed he’s in great shape and has many wonderful years ahead—he just needs someone committed to giving him the consistent care he deserves. Baylard would thrive as the only pet in a home, where he can soak up all the love and attention. He’s loyal, affectionate, and ready to bring so much joy to the right person or family. If you’re looking for a loving, devoted companion and are prepared to keep up with his simple medical routine, Baylard is waiting to meet you! To adopt Baylard, please fill out an application on our website.

Despite this, he's a lovable and friendly dog who brings joy and energy wherever he goes.

Meet Riley, a resilient 9-year-old American Bulldog who’s searching for a special home where she can thrive. Riley’s past likely involved training for dog fighting, which has left her highly dog aggressive. She cannot be in a home with other dogs or children but is okay with cats. Despite her challenging history, Riley is well-behaved and affectionate at home. She requires a very experienced owner who can help manage her anxiety and aggression towards other dogs. Riley’s ideal home is one where she can be the sole pet and receive the understanding and care she needs to feel secure and loved. If you’re an experienced dog owner with the patience and dedication to provide Riley with the stable environment she deserves, she’s ready to be your loyal and loving companion.
