American Bulldog puppies and dogs in Shamokin, Pennsylvania

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. King deserves a Christmas miracle. Could it be you? King is a tender-hearted 1-year-old bully mix who was abandoned and left to fend for himself. The kind person who found him is keeping him safe for now, but he can’t stay there forever. What he needs—what he deserves—is a soft place to land and a human to believe in him. Despite everything he’s been through, King is still full of hope. He’s a lively little guy who lights up for playtime, then burrows into blankets like he’s trying to wrap himself in the warmth he’s been missing. Because he spent so much time alone, he’ll need patient help with housetraining, but he tries so hard to get things right. His heart is in every effort. He plays well with dogs who don’t mind his puppyish enthusiasm, and he’d do best in a home without cats. He’s strong, a bit wiggly, and still learning his leash manners, but he offers something rare in return: the joy of watching a once-forgotten dog grow into the bright, steady soul he was meant to be.   We are unsure how he will do with small children so a meet and greet would be required. King isn’t just looking for a home. He’s looking for a chance. A chance to be loved. A chance to feel safe. A chance to finally belong. If you can open your heart and your home—fostering or adopting—King could have the Christmas he’s been waiting for.And you’ll gain a grateful companion who will treasure you in ways only a rescued dog can. King is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and on monthly heartworm and flea prevention.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.

PERSONALITY : It's hard to believe that Lala hasn't been snapped up as yet. She's smart and loves everyone she meets. This energetic girl loves fresh veggies, fruit, ice cubes and a vigorous "butt scratch." Have you ever had that friend or relative that overstays their welcome? You know you have. Do not despair as there is a solution. Lala definitely has the bulldog "toots" that are guaranteed to clear out a room (or unwanted guests). Just remember to "breathe through your mouth". :) If you're looking for a dog with the personality of a potato, Lala is not the dog for you; lazy is not in Lala's DNA. If you want a hiking or running companion or a dog (with training) that would excel in lure coursing, agility, fly ball or any other high energy sport, Lala's your girl. Ahhh, if only there were a way to harness all that energy. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Lala is a high energy pup that loves to fetch... though she hasn't quite grasped the idea of releasing yet, she is working on it. Lala is a pup that never passes up the opportunity for a good game of tug of war. MEDICAL ISSUES : None. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : Lala would do best in an active home with a fenced yard where she can run around to her heart’s content and burn some of that high energy off. Lala can quite play rough with other dogs. A home where she the only dog soaking up the attention or a home with another large dog that matches her energy would be best. Kids older than 12 would be best as Lala may knock a smaller child down. Lala would greatly benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes. Though Lala loves to go for a ride, she does get car sick so best not to feed her before she hops in the car.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

He’s a little unsure at first, but once he realizes you’re his person, he’ll be your biggest fan, your running buddy, and your cuddle partner all rolled into one.---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Casper is a young, enthusiastic dog who lacks confidence but is eager to please. Initially hesitant to leave his kennel, he approached me with little coaxing and grew more confident during our walk, although he tends to pull on the leash.He embraced handling, leaning against me for reassurance, but showed signs of stress, like whale-eyed expressions when I touched him while removing his food dish. He recognized the cue `sit` and was easily redirected. He flinched at first, but still sought my attention.During playtime, he struggled with appropriate play, becoming overly rough and enthusiastic, but I was able to calm him. While he rushed toward a stranger, he gave an otherwise appropriate interaction, then quickly lost interest. His introduction to another dog

Hi, I'm Tank! I'm a big softie, despite my tough-sounding name. I'm the perfect companion for those cozy nights in, always ready to snuggle up on the couch. I'm also great at making people smile, my sweetness is just infectious! I'm a good listener, too. You can tell me all about your day, and I'll just wag my tail in understanding. I do have a little quirk though - I'm quite protective over my food. But hey, who isn't a little protective over their favorite things? I'm just waiting for my forever home where I can share all this sweetness and warmth. Adopting me means gaining a loyal, loving friend who will always be there to brighten up your day. Why not let me bring some joy into your life?
