Story
`Meet Otis: The pint-sized bulldog with a big personality!``Hey there, potential adopters! My name is Otis and I`m a 5-year-old male bulldog in search of my forever home. I may be small in size, but trust me, my personality is larger than life! My spotted skin adds to my charm, making me one adorable pup. And yes, I do know I`m cute, thank you for noticing.``Okay, here`s the deal - my previous owners surrendered me, but no hard feelings. I`m just looking forward to finding a loving home where I can be the center of attention. I may have some behavioral needs, like being toy aggressive, but that just adds to my quirks. Plus, I know some basic commands, so I`m not completely hopeless.``I`m an active guy who loves to run around in the yard, so a home with lots of space for me to play would be perfect. And when I`m not running around, I`ll be your constant companion. I`m a social butterfly who loves human company, but I prefer to be the only pet. No offense to other animals, I just want to be the star of the show.``Now, hear me out - I do get along with kids, but only the ones who are dog-savvy and know how to respect my boundaries. So, if you`ve got older kids in the house, I`m all for it! Just make sure they`re ready to tell me to `knock it off` when I need to listen.``Alright, that`s enough about me. I`d love to meet you in person and show you my charming personality. Plus, I promise to greet you with lots of tail wags and sloppy kisses. Come on down to the shelter and ask for Otis, let`s see if we`re meant to be family. See you soon!`

Story
  Hi there, I’m Hero! I’m a tall, handsome American bulldog/ Mastiff mixed-breed boy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. I’ve got lots of energy and love to play—so I hope you're ready for plenty of interactive fun! Tug toys, squeaky toys, plush toys (that I can try to de-fluff)... I love them all! Playtime makes me happy, and it's even better when I get to share it with you. I'm not really the sit-still kind of guy—I like to keep moving and exploring. But don’t worry, I’ve got great house manners and am very treat motivated (seriously, I’ll do almost anything for a tasty snack). I already know "sit" and "shake," and I'm eager to learn more cool tricks with you. Training sounds like a fun game to me, especially if snacks are involved! One of my favorite things is snuggling up for pets and back rubs. When I lean all 60 pounds of me into your legs, that’s just my way of saying, "I love you already." I’ll roll my big head into your hands for cheek rubs and soak up every bit of affection you’ve got to give. I’ve made lots of friends here—both people and other pups. I’m super social and always up for playgroup time or a cuddle session with my favorite volunteers. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, smart companion who’s ready to learn, love, and laugh with you every day—look no further. I’m Hero, and I can’t wait to be your best friend. This is a courtesy post for Garden State Utopia. Call 201-889-0711 for more information to apply to adopt Hero.    Hi there, I’m Hero!

Story
Ruby is a sweet girl and the house protector. Sleeps a lot buy also loves to play. Does not need to be very active and loves short walks. She’s good with kids. Laid back personality but needs time to get used to someone. Once she gets to know you she opens up. The Vets love her as she gives them no issues. She is not aggressive and has never bit anyone. This is my mother’s dog. My mother is having health issues and can no longer manage to keep her. My landlord does not allow dogs. Ruby is easy to deal with and doesn’t require much other than love and food.
