Story
Hank is a sweet young boy with a lot of love to give. He would be best suited in a home with someone who does not work long hours to avoid long kenneling periods which can spark up some anxiety for him. He has a lot of energy and needs a good yard to run it off in. He hardly ever barks and is not reactive to other dogs but he seems to prefer female dogs. When other dogs are around him, he does become food aggressive though and would need to be separated from other dogs at feeding time. He is a sweet cuddly lover boy but sadly he needs more attention and space to run than his current home has to offer and unfortunately as a result, his current home is not a good permanent match for him. He is up to date on all vaccinations including rabies. He’s chipped and neutered. Hank weighs 64 lbs. He also just got the 12 month heartworm prevention shot in Feb 2025. Please consider this sweet baby boy to land his forever home with you.

Very friendly with people, takes time to know a new person, or settle in a new family He goes by the name of Brutus I hate to send him to animal shelter since he is used to indoor life Someone left him with me a month and half ago and did not come back to get him..... poor boy

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Mr. Smith, a 78-pound bundle of love and loyalty with a heart as big as his adorable bulldog head. At just over 3 years old, this sweet guy has been through a lot—after his owner could no longer care for him, he and his canine companion were surrendered by family. Despite the upheaval, Mr. Smith has remained a truly great dog, showing nothing but love for the people around him. He adores kids and is happiest when snuggled up with his favorite humans, proving that under his sturdy frame is a total cuddle bug. Mr. Smith would thrive in a home with plenty of space to roam, ideally as the only dog or with another large, easygoing canine companion. He can be possessive over his toys and isn’t a fan of cats, so a cat-free home would be best. While he loves to play and explore, he’s also content just being by your side, soaking up affection. Unfortunately, he has tested positive for heartworms, so he’ll need a family committed to helping him through treatment. With the right home—one that understands his needs and is ready to give him the love and care he deserves—Mr. Smith will be the most loyal and affectionate companion. Could you be the one to give this big-hearted bulldog his second chance?

Story
Say hello to the cutest little butterball around, Calliou (aka Cai as I have been calling him) This kid is just over a year old, bulldog mix, only about 35lbs, neutered, up to date on vax and ready to meet his next best friend! ~Low to medium energy- gets zoomies 1-2 times per day ~Gentle treat taker - Very food motivated so training time will be a breeze, did not show any food aggression (but a very quick eater!) ~Needs more practice on potty training as he is still on the younger side and maybe he was never taught. He does utilize puppy pads when he cannot hold it so moving on to the next step of only going outside should be easier once he is in a stable environment with a more set schedule ~Easy to bathe and seemed to enjoy getting a shampoo rubdown ~Interested in other pups, booped noses with some dogs on walks and had major butt wiggles seeing my resident older dog through the gate ~A little too interested in cats so a home with no cats or doing slow, controlled intros with the guidance of Care staff would be needed ~Loose leash walker – A bit nervous and unsure on walks but super easy to guide and he is a big fan of stopping to smell the flowers. He looks back to his walker for cues with his adorable little underbite, rarely tugs and is quick to redirect as needed ~Will do pretty much anything for a peanut butter Kong (this is the go to at bedtime, walks straight in the crate and waits patiently) ~Crate trained – Sleeps through the night without a peep once settled, crate kept mostly clean ~Does well on his own when left out of the crate during the day, only chews his toys as long as he has a few in front of him (no stuffies, these do not last long.) Whines softly for a minute when you initially leave him but then is fine with the alone time ~Working on basic commands, has sit nailed ~He can beat you in a staring contest any day… sometimes he will just sit and look at his person (a delightful mix of cute and creepy) ~He loves a good snuggle session (just look at his sploot pic) He is a real gem of a pup, just content to be in your presence and have a relax ~Excellent best friend material, once you meet him you will fall in love
