Hi, my name is Tuffy and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Apr 25, 2024. Everyone calls me a “Goofball,” I’m not sure what that means but I know it has the word “ball” in it! Bringing a smile to my person’s face is what I do best and I’m ready to make every day as fun as I can. I think I’m the happy, funny pup for you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog.  Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites.  Remi is a very sweet, lovable, older guy looking for a soft place to call home.  Remi looks like a perfect mix of bulldog and boxer.   His owner passed and the Son tried to keep him.  He had 2 larger male dogs already and the 3 did not mesh.   We have not done loose dog to dog testing yet as we've taken care of his skin issues and ear infections as well as a huge bladder stone removal. If you know these breeds, you know they cannot eat grain filled food.  He's healthy and doing great now! He has not shown any reactivity going past other dogs, even when they are barking like crazy at him (some of the smaller, younger ones).  He met the old cat and didn't care about her at all.  So if you have another dog or need to know how he is loose with another dog, we'll test him.  It was just him and his Dad for 8 years and we'd love for him to just have people to dote on him rather than share him again.   Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 25, 2024, 10:34 pm

Story
Meet Calvin🩵 Calvin's tale began with a rescue from a slaughterhouse as a young pup. Initially staying at Korean City Shelter, Calvin and his siblings narrowly escaped euthanasia a year later at Adogs. Calvin awaits an adoptive or lifelong family to envelop him in warmth and love. 🙏🏻 *Energy Level (1~10): Lv. 5 *Social Relationships: Gets along well with shelter dog friends. Suggests a preference for a home where he can be the only child due to a temperamental attitude toward more aggressive friends. *Temperament: Timid with a touch, may exhibit a pupil earthquake. Rapid improvement is expected in a loving environment. *Training: Responds well to "house," showcasing intelligence. Calvin, with his pricked ears and wistful eyes, is ready to be embraced by a caring family. Consider bringing Calvin into your home, providing the love and security he deserves. 🐾

Story
Get ready for a lifetime of cuddles and perma-puppy eyes with Max! His foster parents say this about him: "Max is an absolute love bug! He has a lot of energy and zoomies, but settles in quickly, making himself at home. He loves to cuddle up on the couch and sleep next to you on the bed (if allowed). He does quite well on a leash! Max is doing a great job learning how to sit and to come when called. He's also loves trying all types of new foods and has become a big fan of apples, carrots, and celery. An adorable thing about him is he can't help but start drooling when he knows he's about to get one of his favorite treats!" Max is ready to make your family complete! Send in a survey today to learn more about Max!Pets are complex beings and prior to adoption, interested adopters will be counseled by a staff member to discuss the specific needs for each animal.

Story
Welcome Contessa to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 6-year-old American Bulldog/Pittie mix is our guess. She has an adorable blue and one brown eye. She weighs about 50 pounds and is good with other dogs. She barks at her kennel door so her best place would be with a wooden privacy fence. She is moderate to low activity and loves to be touched. She is good in her crate and will make some lucky family a good companion. She is lower energy so she could go with a more relaxed and laid-back family. She could also go with children. We like them to be 10 or older. She was found as a stray on the construction site and had to survive until a good Samaritan caught her and brought her to CCPAL rescue. She warms up slowly but bonds deeply to her people. She has fallen in love with the kennel fellas. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 200 and transport is 180. She is healthy, vaccinated, spayed and ready for her forever home. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Story
Meet Cupcake, a great all-around dog! She was found by a county deputy on the side of the highway, where she was cuddling her dog friend who had been hit by a car. The cop actually thought she had been hit also because she was laying with him after he had passed! We think they were both dumped. Cupcake really needs a best friend to snuggle with! Her ideal would be someone who works from home with at least a small fenced yard. She just wants affection and would love to host doggie play dates and then crash out on the couch. She is a moderate energy level. Cupcake is good with adults, children and other dogs. Really, a great pup! Thank you! And Cupcake thanks you, as well!

Story
Biggie is approximately 3 years old, he is a sweet boy with lots of energy. He is very strong so although he is not aggressive he is not a good fit for families with small children or babies. Biggie needs a fenced in yard where he can run around when you are not home. Biggie goes potty outside. He is very lovable and needs lots of attention, so if you are home a lot he may be the right pup for you!

Story
Zeus is a 9 year old Bull Terrier. He's a super sweet guy, a big cuddler, and loves to spend time outside in the sun or on the couch with his people. He spent the first 5 years of his life with an open yard, and as a single dog in the family. As such, he was not socialized or even neutered until he was about 6. Zeus has made incredible strides in reactivity when other dogs are nearby, but he has a history of escalating situations with other dogs and being aggressive and intolerant. Zeus would fit very well with a home where he would be the only pet. The reason he needs to be rehomed is because he has found his way into my care, alongside my cat and another bull terrier puppy. The puppy is energetic and pushes the old man's limits. My partner and I have tried everything we can to curb the triggers for Zeus, but fights have started to break out more consistently even after 6 months of solid effort, and we are worried about the safety of the two dogs together if the situation continues.
