Story
Sage is a 4-year old (October baby!) American bully. She has been with me since July, after adopting her from a family member who needed support caring for her. The family member got her when she was 2 or 3 months old so Sage has always been in a loving home. Unfortunately our lifestyles are not compatible and for Sage’s ultimate happiness I am looking to rehome her. She is truly a wonderful dog - human and dog loving, house-trained, and full of love and energy. She’s a typical bully but with a warm spirit.

Story
EJ is a 3-year-old American Bulldog mix with a big heart and an even bigger need for a second chance. Weighing around 110lbs, EJ is a friendly, affectionate companion with people, and he’s especially sweet with our veterinary team. He would thrive in a calm, adult-only home where he can be the only animal and have space to stretch out and play, ideally with a yard to romp around in. EJ’s past was nearly cut short when his former family brought him to be euthanized simply because he didn’t get along with their other dog, but we stepped in just in time to give him hope. Now, EJ is looking for someone who will see his worth, embrace him for who he is, and give him the loving home he’s always deserved.

Story
William is a stunning 1-year-old brindle bully mix with a heart full of love and a spirit that’s blossoming more each day. He came into rescue severely underweight and clearly neglected, but despite everything he’s been through, he’s remained gentle, affectionate, and eager to connect. William has a playful side that shines when he feels safe, and he adores the company of people who show him kindness. As a bully breed, he may face longer adoption wait times, but we’re hopeful that someone out there will see what a gem he truly is. William is looking for a family who will cherish him, give him the care he’s always deserved, and never let him feel forgotten again.

Meet Bruno, the charmer!! This handsome wrinkle-face may have a touch of grey, but Bruno is a middle-aged guy with a zest for life at just 5 years old!!

Whether it’s games, walks, or adventures, Bruno is ready to dive in and share every moment with his family.If you’re looking for a lively, loving companion to brighten your days, come meet Bruno today - he might just be your perfect match!

Story
Meet this incredible survivor! Found in Tipton County, this sweet boy was skin and bones, hairless, and overlooked by so many. We couldn’t leave him behind, and he’s come so far—from 17 to 36 lbs! With love, warmth, and plenty of food, his personality has blossomed. He adores other dogs, all people, his crate, and especially toys and sweaters. He’s house-trained, food-motivated, and ready for his forever home. Could it be with you? Once adopted he will travel via the Rescue Transport to his new family. They travel every weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the north east, delivering pups along the way as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Transport is an additional $185. If you would like to make this cutie part of your family please follow the link below to our adoption application. Our turnaround time is typically less than 24 hours so please be prepared before you submit your application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9
