Story
Meet Stella Rose, We bred our PURE American bullies and in May 2023 Stella was born. She was adopted in September 2023 but was returned to us in Feb 2024 because the guy lost his house. She is a gorgeous American (pocket) Bully. She is very playful and loves to be loved on. She’s great with kids and eager to please (very trainable). This dog is smart. So smart I’m considering changing her diet to fresh food. She is show dog material. We have been house training and she takes to it very well. She enjoys other dogs and has a lot of energy. We are busy people and never intended to have multiple dogs. We love Stella, but a family with more time and attention will serve her better. Don’t let this champion dog go to a shelter.

Or, how about these American Bulldogs in cities near Detroit, Michigan

Story
Hi there, I'm Max. My age has given me wisdom and a love for the simple things in life. I'm a sweet, friendly soul, always curious about the world around me. I can be a bit goofy at times, but that's part of my charm. I'm smart too, always eager to learn new things. Cuddles? Oh, I'm a big fan! I'm just a sweet and happy medium energy guy!I've never met a cat before, so the people here aren't sure how I would do with them, and I prefer to be the only dog in the house. I've never been around kids either, but I'm such a friendly guy, so I would probably be ok with dog savvy children. Walking me might be a workout, I do love to pull on the leash. Apartments aren't really my style, I could run into another dog in those narrow hallways and I'd really rather not do that. I need space to roam and sniff. I am a Special Paws pet in the Signature Pets Program because I have allergies that will likely require some extra care to keep under control and managed. Since I am a Special Paws pet, my adoption fee is up to you!Adopt me, and I promise to fill your life with laughter, love, and endless curiosity.

Story
Hello, my name is North!!!! I am a super fun, excitable, and energetic lady looking for a fun, excitable, and energetic adopter!! I am the life of the party, and I love to meet new people, see new sights, and have tons and tons of fun in life!! I am a big gal for sure, and boy oh boy, am I STRONG! I will really need someone who can physically handle a strong girl like me, because I might be the one to take YOU for a walk, instead of the other way around. But I am super duper food motivated and work very well for treats, and with patience. I'm not a huge fan of kitty cats, so a home without them would be best. I like other doggos but I might come on a bit strong, so one that won't be deterred by this would be best. I am super loving and sweet, and while I do need work on not jumping up or launching my excited body onto you for attention, I do listen quite well especially if you ask me to sit. I am so excited to find my new human and new home!!North is part of the Signature Pets program as a Special Paws pet. North is likely to have a chronic skin allergy that will require their new family to provide medication on a regular basis. This means that her adoption fee is up to you!

Story
Pax came to us from a multiple-dog family, so he is good with other dogs. He's also great with the children in his foster home. He's looking for a forever home . . . how about yours? He is food motivated and an enthusiastic student when training. He rides comfortably in a car, is house trained, crate trained and leash trained. He has been surrounded by a loving foster family but his public exposure has been limited. Obedience classes would be great once he's comfortable in a new environment. They would reinforce the training he's had, and would widen his world, showing him unknown humans are a source of positive attention and rewards.

Story
Jubilee is sweet, loyal, soft, cuddly, and fun. She was found as a stray in my neighborhood, she was house broken but not spayed. She is now spayed and has all of her shots etc. I think she is around 6 or 7. She loves the out doors, and is great at keeping watch of a house. She is kind to humans- adults and kids, but has had a few incidents with other dogs and does chase cats. She would love a home with a loving owner. She is pretty chill, and can go for a long time- up to 10 hours during the day without having to be let out. She needs to be the only pet in the house. It would be great to have a yard or a big property that she could enjoy but she is also fine staying inside and only being out for walks twice a day. I have a fenced in yard, she is out there regularly and doesn't try to escape. I left the door open once and she got out but she came back to the house on her own pretty quickly afterwards. She is a good companion and will walk or jog with you and give you snuggles.
