Story
Meet Valentino: Tino is an Olde English Bulldog, weighing in at 72lbs!! He will be 3 years old this coming February. Tino is 100% potty trained, knows many commands and tricks, he absolutely loves car rides and playing all the time! Yes he does cuddle in there too.  One thing about Tino is he is HIGHLY ALLERGIC to chicken….legit absolutely no chicken unless you want a vet trip. He loves cats! Dogs so far he has done great with! He previously lived with 3 other dogs where we believe size difference was a small concern but has had no issues or concerns in his foster home. He really is the sweetest boy ever! Tino would also have no problem at all being an only dog, as long as he had toys and treats! A fenced yard would be best because of his energy but is not a requirement. Tino recently had a TPLO surgery, Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy is a surgical treatment used to stabilize the stifle joint when the Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CrCL) has ruptured. The CrCL is similar to the ACL in a human knee, but unlike in humans, the CrCL rarely ruptures from sudden trauma in an otherwise healthy ligament. Tino had a great surgery and he’s been recovering great, plus using his back leg again! Tino's $500 adoption fee includes his neuter, TPLO surgery, vaccines, heartworm prevention, flea/tick prevention, and microchip registration.

Story
Hey all- My name is Rose, I am an English Bulldog and I can’t wait to meet you and cuddle!!! Don’t be scared of the tongue or how big I look in my pics. I’m actually on the small side for an English Bully (35-40 lbs) and I am just a little wiggly ball of LOVE ! I love all hoomans but most of all I love to cuddle!!! I’m not fully housebroken yet and these treat things really confuse me but it’s okay because I get along with everyone as long as they don’t get between me and my cuddles! I don’t acknowledge foster Mama’s cats so if you have any, they don’t bother me. Neither do dogs unless they get between me and the senior cuddle dispenser. Hmmm- could that be you? Fill out an application and let’s find out! Her $500 adoption fee covers her spay, fold reduction, vaccines, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, deworming medication, and microchip registration. You can apply at https://gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##1865688##

Story
Meet Zane! This 2 year old boxer mix had a severe fracture of his front leg, so it had to be amputated. It doesn't stop him though. He can jump on beds and navigate at least some stairs (the foster doesn't have a lot of stairs, so we don't know how he would do in a two story house). He's very good with larger calm dogs, but will correct annoying puppies. Good with cats and kids, but can be protective of kids if strangers come by. He does adjust to new people fairly soon.  He is house trained and crate trained. He should be kept at a healthy weight because of his leg, and his joints should be monitored for arthritis.  The $225 adoption fee covers his neuter, vaccines, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, deworming medication, and microchip registration. You can apply at https://gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##1720009##
