Story
Meet Zeus! Breed: american bulldog mix. Age: approx 3 years. Weight: 62lbs at intake, we believe he should be about 65-70lbs. Training: crate and leash trained, doing well with house training on his Foster's routine. Good with other dogs/cats? Yes to dogs. He did fine with the cat upon intake. We will retest as usual, if anyone interested has cats. Good with adults/kids? Yes to both! Personality: friendly, outgoing, and playful. Reason for rescue: unclaimed stray. Zeus showed up at someone's home and didn't leave. Animal control was closed so he rode around with a cop until a safe place could be found. Zeus is very friendly and has never met a stranger. He appears to be mostly deaf. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. If interested in adding this sweet baby to your family, please message for an adoption application! Adoption fee: $75.September 8, 2025, 9:00 pm

Story
‼️Courtesy Post‼️ Meet Dee-Bo! His owner is needing to rehome him due to no fault of his own but due to some unfortunate circumstances his owner is currently facing. 💙Super sweet, loving, and loyal. 👧🏼👦🏼He loves kids and people. 🏠 He is house broken. 🛋️He has never been in a crate since the owner has had him for the last 4 years and he never messes with anything while staying loose in the house. 🛁 He enjoys getting a bath so much so that he will jump right in the tub and then sit patiently to be dried off when done. 🎾He also enjoys playing fetch in their fenced in yard with a ball. 🐾He has always been the only animal in the house so the owner is unsure how he would do with other cats or dogs. If you are interested in meeting Dee-Bo, please email us and we can get you in direct contact with his owner.
