Story
He has been the most wonderful companion for me. I bought him as a friend for my husbands American Bulldog who when my spouse passed and could not stop crying for him. Since then I've almost lost my ability to walk due to a hip needing replaced and losing my health insurance when my job closed down. A car ran thru my home on Thanksgiving day and I've been in temporary housing ever since. I'll be moving in with my son in his small trailer and can't take the dogs. I'm asking if you can help me rehome Kobe before that happens. He's potty trained and used to family life. Please call Kathy at 302-983-1761November 5, 2024, 3:21 pm

Story
Hi-ya humans! I'm Chester! I have a heart as big as my head, and I have a pretty good-sized noggin! I don't use it all for smarts though.. I have lots of happy thoughts about running in the grass, yummy snacks, and of course, snuggles with my favorite people! I have a glass half full kind of mentality and can't wait to bust out of puppy prison once and for all!   I'm a super social butterfly, and have been great at events, I love meeting new humans and going for adventures! I am open to meeting other friendly doggies, too! If you have a dog who needs a friend, I volunteer as tribute for the job. Mostly, though, I can't wait to find a forever friend who will bring me home and love me forever! If you like two years old, 50ish pound, happy snorty boys, make sure you come meet me! I don't think you'll be disappointed. I have the smooshiest face and will surely keep you smiling and laughing - don't we all need some more happiness in our lives?!   Have Room in Your Home? Welcoming in a pet saves your new pet's life and creates space for another pet to get a chance! Not sure if Chester would be the best fit for you? Send in a generic app! Our team will work with you to find a pet to best fit your lifestyle! You will go home with a starter bag of food, one month of flea and heartworm prevention, and also have 90 DAYS of training help included with your adoption, if needed!

Story
DAISY MAE came to us after she bit her owner in the face. It was a one-time incident however the family was afraid of her after the incident. We were her last hope as an alternative to euthanasia. In our care, Daisy has befriended a couple of our volunteers and is sweet as pie. However, we don’t trust her completely, even with people she knows because she can’t control herself when she gets overstimulated. The original incident happened when they had moved into a new home and Daisy was over excited/stressed and a delivery man came to the door. Her mom attempted to put her into a crate and she resisted and jumped up alligator-style. We are committed to help Daisy even though we understand she may never find a forever home. For the present time being, we are her family and are continuing to try to help her make progress. We will accept applications from exceptional families who have dealt with similar dogs in the past successfully. Daisy needs to be an only pet and although she was fine with the children in her home, because of the bite she needs to be in an adult only home! If you would like to love Daisy from afar, please visit out website and use the PayPal link to support us in her care. www.CompAnimals.org. Thank you!November 3, 2024, 10:40 am

McNugget

American Bulldog

Male, Adult
Landenberg, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
McNugget is diminutive 4 year old American Bully who was used for breeding. He is a laid-back guy who probably spent most of his time in a kennel. McNugget is new to the rescue, so we are still getting to know him. He has a little OCD playing with his food bowls, probably because they were the only toys that he had. He pretty much ignores the other dogs in his foster home – still trying to find his place. McNugget weighs just 32 pounds and should be a healthy weight at 35 to 37.  He walks well on a leash and rides quietly in the car. Because of his OCD quirks and not growing up in a home, we would prefer he not be in a home with small children or a home that is busy with kids activities right now, so that they can concentrate on Nugget and gently assimilating him into a normal lifestyle and showing him what a dog's life was meant to be! McNugget is scheduled to be neutered at the end of September, and will be officially available at the beginning of October. Accepting applications now at www.companimals.org. McNugget will have pre-surgical bloodwork run before his neuter, receive his core vaccines, heartworm and tick borne disease, test, as well as microchip. Adoption $350. November 3, 2024, 10:40 am

Story
I got her about a year ago, she is a purebred American bully and a year old, her bday is 10/13/25,and comes from a very good breeder, she grew up with a male pit and they get along great. She hasn’t had a lot of experience with other dogs but I’m sure If the dog is patient she would do great. She does need to be let out to go potty a lot more then the normal dog or she will have an accident; she loves to cuddle and just get attention and sleep and take naps. She has a playful side but also a very relaxed personality. She is not good with cats, I am unfortunately moving so I need to find her a good home.

Story
This friend has just arrived to us as a stray. When animals are found as strays, our staff will search for an owner. If no one comes to reclaim the pet, we will begin looking for a new home. Unfortunately, we rarely have a background on stray animals. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with other animals until ty have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
