Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Headliner: Itsy, The Sweetest Potato Ever! Personality: Itsy, is a sweet, lovable, cuddle bug, with no aggression whatsoever who like any bulldog, has a stubborn streak. If she doesn't want to do something, she will just look at you with this pitiful look in her eyes. Favorite Activities: She loves to play with other dogs, occasionally gets the zoomies running around the back yard. Again, she's a bulldog so low activity with this girl. Medical Issues: Itsy came into the rescue with pretty bad skin and a lot of missing hair. Her skin is all cleared up but there are places the hair did not grow back. She may or may not grow that back but definitely does not take away from her cuteness! What Would be the Best Kind of Home: Itsy would love a home where her people would be home most of the day to dote on her. She just wants to be loved. Another dog for her to play with would be great. She needs patience and someone willing to work with her on finishing up her potty training.  Additional Comments: Itsy is a wonderful dog and with some house training will be the PERFECT pet to someone who will love her as much as she will love them! Click here to watch a video of Itsy.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Hello, my name is: PaddingtonApprox. DOB: 1/22/2026Sex/Breed: Male boxer/bulldog mix (best guess)Weight: 12 lbsRescued from: Found strayPaddington is one of the lucky ones. He was found abandoned on the side of the road as a baby. Something terrible could have happened to him while he was on his own, so we are incredibly grateful he was found and brought to safety. He’s a laid-back puppy who would thrive with a backyard to play in and someone to take him on regular walks. Curious and adventurous, he loves exploring the world around him. At the same time, he’s an incredibly sweet boy who enjoys cuddling, getting his belly rubbed, and simply relaxing by your side at home. Paddington loves to socialize with other dogs too! Please help us find this little baby with the forehead wrinkles the forever home he so desperately deserves! All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?

Hello, my name is: Luna Approx. DOB: 11/2/2021Sex/Breed: Spayed female Bulldog mixWeight: 46.3 lbsRescued from: Owner surrenderLuna is a charming bulldog mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality who’s ready to be the center of her forever family’s world! She settled into foster life quickly and has shown herself to be housebroken, crate trained, and an excellent sleeper through the night. She needs some help with perfecting her manners and learning to be calm, but she is eager to please. Luna greets her people with a toy in her mouth and lots of happy wiggles, then happily alternates between playtime, couch cuddles, belly rubs, and long, snort-tastic naps. If you find the musical snorts and grunts of bulldogs endearing, Luna is for you! She’s friendly with neighbors without being overexcited, knows to sit for her meals, and will benefit from continued basic training, which she’s already working on with positive reinforcement. Luna likes to have her humans to herself, so she`ll need to be the only pet in the home. If you dislike wet weather, but like love and attention, your interests will align beautifully with her. She’s ready to fill a home with all her affection, sweetness, and easygoing charm!All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?

Story
DAISY MAE came to us after she bit her owner in the face. It was a one-time incident however the family was afraid of her after the incident. We were her last hope as an alternative to euthanasia. In our care, Daisy has befriended a couple of our volunteers and is sweet as pie. However, we don’t trust her completely, even with people she knows because she can’t control herself when she gets overstimulated. The original incident happened when they had moved into a new home and Daisy was over excited/stressed and a delivery man came to the door. Her mom attempted to put her into a crate and she resisted and jumped up alligator-style. We are committed to help Daisy even though we understand she may never find a forever home. For the present time being, we are her family and are continuing to try to help her make progress. We will accept applications from exceptional families who have dealt with similar dogs in the past successfully. Daisy needs to be an only pet and although she was fine with the children in her home, because of the bite she needs to be in an adult only home! If you would like to love Daisy from afar, please visit out website and use the PayPal link to support us in her care. www.CompAnimals.org. Thank you!March 7, 2026, 5:36 pm

Story
                                                                             KENNEL ID #18804Meet Duck — Your New Couch Buddy Duck is a big, sweet, laid-back lovebug who’s ready to settle into a real home. This easygoing guy is happiest relaxing on the couch, going for nice leash walks, and hanging out with his people. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion, Duck is your guy. Duck was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Tennessee just in time and is now safe, fully vetted, and preparing for his fresh start. He’s a house-trained, neutered boy who stays inside all night with no accidents. Duck walks well on leash, knows basic commands, and gets along beautifully with children, other dogs, and even cats. Weighing about 80 lbs, Duck is a sturdy, gentle presence with a soft heart. While his paperwork lists him as 4 years old, we believe he may be closer to 6–7 years old, which means you get all the perks of a mature dog—calm, predictable, and past the wild puppy stage. Duck would love a home where he can relax, be loved, and maybe share his days with a buddy who enjoys the simple things in life. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key best friend who’s already done the hard work of growing up, Duck is ready to meet you.  be your new best friend? Duck is hanging out with his rescuer and foster mom, Carol, in Tennessee. If you have any questions, please email her at  abandonedangelsinc@gmail.com . Adoption Fee $300 Donations are desperately needed and greatly appreciated for medical care. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/abandonedangelsinc Thank you for your interest in rescue.
