American Bulldog puppies and dogs in Gladstone, Oregon

Meet Bodega! Bodega is a friendly, social pup. He’s great with most other dogs, knows sit and shake, and is incredibly gentle with food. He’s also kennel and potty trained—he’ll sit by the door to let you know when he needs to go out. This big guy is full of love and thinks he’s a lap dog! He adores pets and attention and needs an owner strong enough to handle him and who won't be crushed under him haha. He is a good boy, and a large boy! Because of his size, he’s not recommended for homes with small children. Bodega would make a loyal, affectionate companion. Could he be the perfect addition to your home?

That face that you fell for is the happy-go-lucky heartthrob we call Charlie. He is the kind of dog that meets the world with a big ol’ smile and all the wiggle-wag one dog can physically create. He is a goofball with bouncy joy, the cutest charm, and some amazing cuddles. Charlie is estimated to be just over one-year-old, he weighs 50-pounds, and we think he is a bit of a lab/bulldog mix but truthfully we can’t say for sure given he is a rescue. The only test I could run showed he is 100% sunshine and sweetness. See for yourself then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/sQRj9YmGuG4 Charlie is a friendly boy that makes it hard not to fall for him immediately. After I spent the day with him I didn’t want him to go- I had fallen for him. He is instantly affectionate and melts into a puddle of belly rub seeking butter. If he doesn’t melt you will feel him lean into you for hugs, and he will even let you scoop him up for an extra sweet cuddle. This guy’s happy energy is contagious and that doesn’t stop with people, he is just as thrilled to make new dog friends as he is to be by your side. The afternoon we spent with Charlie we introduced him to a wide variety of dogs to get a feel for his play style and the types of dogs he enjoys most. It didn’t take long at all for us to be impressed with how friendly and welcoming he was. Even when other dogs came in a little hot or pushy, Charlie handled it with grace. With the right dog, an equally bouncy, playful dog, he showed us he loves a bit of bouncy, physical play but it isn’t his constant. He was comfortable enough to lay down beside brand-new dogs a sign of total trust. He’s the type who only joins in play when invited and isn’t going to push his way in as a third wheel or shut down the fun for them. He isn’t going to cause a stir but will always try to help keep the vibes tuned to fun-loving, calm joy. Charlie does need some leash work, he has the basics down and honestly I feel like I am betraying him to say such a thing because it didn’t bother me one bit. All I could see was a happy boy who was just so excited to explore the world! The more he gets to experience and enjoy the better he will be at pacing himself . That and some practice (and maybe a few treats to reward him for checking-in and walking by your side), he will learn quickly. He is a smart boy, eager to please, and already shows how well he responds when guided gently. He will bond fast and deep with his people. During the time we spent with him, the first person who interacted with him as his handler walked out of the yard, he stayed by the gate waiting- a loyal love bug through and through. Because of that devotion, he may miss you when you go at first, its natural, but with time and routine he will settle into knowing his favorite people always come home. Charlie would do best in a home with a yard and another playful, medium-energy dog to run and romp with. He could adjust to apartment living once his leash manners are polished as long as he gets plenty of playtime and adventures to meet his mental and physical needs. No cats for Charlie though, his eager friendliness does not vibe with cats. We all know cats- if you’re too eager they don’t care for you and that goes for dogs too. Charlie gets to focus his love and happiness towards people and dogs. If you’re looking for a happy, loving, goofy companion who’ll make every day so much better, Charlie’s your guy. One look into that glowing, goofy face and you’ll know -his boy was made to love you. Ready to welcome some sunshine into your life?

**Now Fostered in Norton MA!** This 1-year-old cutie has a one-of-a-kind look — from her black and tan coat to her adorable little apostrophe eyebrows that always seem to have something to say! Weighing around 50 lbs, Darcy is the perfect mix of playful energy and snuggly sweetness. Darcy had a DNA test done, revealing that she is a unique mix of multiple breeds including American Bulldog and Australian Cattle Dog! She currently lives with three kids (ages 5 and 10) and loves being part of the family action. Fetch? Tug-o-war? Count her in! When playtime’s over, she’s all about curling up with her humans for a good cuddle. Darcy is dog friendly and would love a moderate-energy male doggy friend to play and hang out with. She’s food motivated, knows her basic commands, and is both potty and crate trained. She’s a big fan of peanut butter (naturally!) and loves toys that make her think — puzzle feeders, treat balls, you name it. A tired dog is a happy dog, and Darcy loves to stay active both mentally and physically. Since she’s still young and on the higher-energy side, an active adopter or family with a yard would be ideal to help her thrive. She’ll happily alert you with a bark when something’s up, but mostly she’s focused on having fun and being with her people. With continued training and socialization, Darcy will blossom into the best version of herself — loyal, loving, and full of life.

The adoption fee is $900 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship! *WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health. *To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs. Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation.

This sweet angel is Lizzie! You don’t want to miss out on this big girl with an even bigger heart! We believe Lizzie is an XL American Bully mix—of course, with rescue, that’s just our best guess! At 5 years old, she’s still a big goofball who brings laughs and love everywhere she goes. Especially with her famous happy hops. She just hops and hops around the house when she’s happy to see you! Gosh, my cheeks hurt just thinking about how big I’d be smiling if I came home to that every day! Maybe there’s some bunny DNA in there? Lizzie is smart as a whip—she knows sit and even shake! She never says no to a snack (like, ever), which makes training fun and easy for everyone involved. And by everyone, we mean kids too! Lizzie recently met a baby and an 8-year-old and definitely prefers the older kiddos who are steady on their feet. She was so gentle taking treats from the 8-year-old, and they ended their meet-up with a cuddle sesh on the couch. Her cuddles? Immaculate. Though she does think she’s a lap dog… classic Lizzie! See her adorable, heartwarming video here: https://youtu.be/zzlwNqUrT_I?si=wBvitVgcUxGS0ZpE Bath time? No problem! She’s a champ and enjoys the extra pampering. She’s fully housebroken, trusted to free roam, and has never been destructive (even with toys!). At night, she cozies up in bed, but she’s also crate trained and does well when crated. Lizzie is still working on her leash skills, so a home with a yard would be ideal while she perfects her walk game. She’s a big girl who loves to sniff around, sunbathe on the porch, and chill nearby while you sip your morning coffee or putter around the garden. Wherever you are, Lizzie just wants to be part of it. She's that kind of dog—the one who makes everything better just by being there. To set Lizzie up for success, she’s looking for an experienced handler who can confidently guide her in her next chapter. While she adores her people, Lizzie is looking to be the one and only pet in the home—a queen without competition! She thrives in a calm, structured environment where she can feel safe, loved, and totally doted on (her favorite thing). Ready to welcome a lovable, goofy, sunbathing, ride-or-die girl into your life? Lizzie's waiting with a heart full of love and the best happy hops you've ever seen.

Introducing ….Kongo King of the Boop, bringer of the smooches! This absolute specimen of a beefcake is estimated to be just shy of 2 years old American Bully boy with a big blocky head, the smile to match, and a cute cow-like black and white coat with polka dot sprinkles. Weighing 69 pounds, he’s a handsome, sturdy guy who’s equal parts physical presence and gentle devotion. Kongo is smart, attentive and treat-motivated. Despite the size of that mouth, he is a sweetheart when he takes snacks , he has a soft, gentle mouth. His signature move though is the nose boop! Whether he’s greeting you or exploring his world, Kongo’s boops are guaranteed to make you smile! Take a look then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/XYuSD_6zRQ0 Kongo is a laid-back pup who would love a calm, structured home. He’s not one for rough-and-tumble dog play but could do well with a lower-energy female dog who is happy to chill together. His looks may give off tough-guy but truly Kongo is sensitive and responds very well to a gentle, confident approach. He’ll do best in a quieter home, ideally with a yard to relax in and adopters who can help him feel safe. Because of his size, occasional pulling on leash, and lack of experience ins noisy/busy environments, Kongo is not suited for apartment living. Kongo is polite with people but occasionally will still jump. He is very responsive to gentle correction and jumps down quickly but for now, we recommend older kids if joining a family home and he is not the fit for an older, senior adopter. Kongo is so fun to take in public too. He is a great passenger in the car, although you may have to lure him inside with some chicken nuggets. Hey, me too Kongo! He had so much fun with our volunteers, they went to the park and sniffed the flowers, then off to pick out a yummy treat from the doggy bakery across the street. Sounds like a blast! Kongo is dog-friendly but undoubtedly has a “type” the mellow, easy-going females are welcome with him, but he also does not need a canine companion in the home and is a perfect fit if you are looking for a dog that will be happy as an only-dog. He is a sensitive soul, submissive to people, and deeply devoted once he trusts you, which comes easy. He is truly the kind of dog who is going to bond closely and become someone’s loyal best friend. This includes kiddos too! Kongo did wonderfully with a 4 year old here at the rescue. They had so much fun playing with stuffies, throwing them around the room and jumping all over the bed. Of course he had to give her some of his famous Kongo kisses and boops— and in exchange she gave him lots of treats, which he took with a gentle mouth. She gave him some of her famous bear hugs— and he didn’t mind one bit. In fact, he offered her one right back. He sat back on his hind legs and lifted his two front paws up and asked for a hug. Sweet Kongo, we just can’t help but fall for you! If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy, boopy boy, Kongo is ready to be yours! Ready to welcome Kongo into your life?
