Story

If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you within 48 hrs. No inquiries, please, without an application. Meet Lovebug, a stunning 3-year-old American Bulldog mix whose name perfectly reflects her sweet and affectionate nature. Rescued from a local New Jersey shelter, Lovebug is a joyful soul who adores everyone she meets. She has a zest for life that’s as big as her heart, and her playful energy is bound to bring a smile to your face. Lovebug is good on leash and enjoys quiet, short walks where she can take in her surroundings at a gentle pace. She would absolutely love a fenced yard where she can romp and play to her heart’s content. She takes treats gently, is eager to please, and thrives on human connection. A home with older kids is preferred due to her playful nature and her tendency to think she’s a lap dog! Lovebug does have a medical condition that requires special care. Despite two surgeries to address her challenges, she sometimes struggles with breathing and regurgitation when she gets overexcited. She’s currently on a low level of medication that helps keep her calm, and this works successfully about 90% of the time. Because of this, she needs a peaceful home with minimal commotion to help her stay relaxed and comfortable. She would do best as the only pet in the household, where she can soak up all the love and attention. Lovebug is ready to find a dedicated and patient family who will give her the calm, nurturing environment she needs to thrive. One interaction with this amazing girl, and you’ll see why her name is Lovebug. She’s ready to fill your life with endless love and loyalty—are you ready to be her forever family? If you are interested in Lovebug, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application. December 30, 2025, 5:45 pm

Meatball

American Bulldog

Male, Adult

Mendham, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meatball is a compact, muscular American Bully with a calm demeanor and a strong preference for human companionship. He is an affectionate, people-oriented dog who forms close bonds and enjoys being near his person throughout the day. Meatball is steady and relaxed in public environments. He is non-reactive to dogs, wildlife, and everyday distractions during walks and prefers to remain close to his handler. He enjoys accompanying his foster caregiver to work and is well-received by everyone he meets. Meatball has low to moderate exercise needs. He prefers very short, slow walks and is content with one brief walk in the morning and one in the evening. He enjoys spending time outdoors in pleasant weather and engages in light play, including fetch. Meatball is housebroken and does best in a predictable, calm environment. During severe weather (high winds, thunder, or lightning), he may become anxious and occasionally have accidents. He does not enjoy extended periods of isolation and prefers a home where someone is present most of the day. While crate-tolerant for short periods, he is most comfortable outside of a crate. He sleeps in the bedroom with his people, uses his own bed, and enjoys resting on furniture with his family. He navigates stairs well despite his short stature. Meatball is highly food motivated and requires structured feeding practices. He should be fed separately and have treats or bones provided in a secure area. He may live with another dog with appropriate management, though he may be best suited as an only dog due to his strong attachment to his person and occasional jealous tendencies. Cat compatibility is unknown; limited observation suggests low reactivity. Meatball would do best in a home with older children or no children. He is physically strong and may be unintentionally rough despite having no ill intent. Meatball is seeking a stable, adult-oriented home that values companionship over high activity. He would thrive with adopters who enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, can provide consistent structure around feeding, and are looking for a devoted, loyal companion.

Story

Meatball is an amazing dog and we all love him so much. We wish our other dog felt the same way. My other dog sometimes has issues with him and they end up fighting. We have been trying since the summer time to fix the problem. It gets better for a bit but then a fight happens again. It’s to no fault of meatball but he is now protecting himself and fighting back. We have two children that are 13 and 7 it’s not a good situation as my son is now scared all the time. He just will follow his person, he’s very food motivated which is why I say he should be an only dog and with older kids as he’s very compact pocket bully but so strong 58lbs. He’s super chill walks as slow as a turtle mostly just sleeps and follows his person. He doesn’t like to be alone long but he is used to it as we do work. He is house broken but does have accidents when scared here and there. He is the perfect easiest dog. He comes to my office with me and is just amazing. We will miss him so much.
