Story
I rescued him and his other littermate from a friend who had 5 dogs in a small home. I gave his brother to another friend who had 4 kids. Petey stayed with me and my other dog. He is high energy and I'm physically not able to walk or run him. He loves car rides and is very intelligent. He likes to go on adventures. I've taken him traveling with me since he was a few months old. He seems to pay attention to men more. I physically am unable work with him the way he needs. Please give him a shot. He is a bit of a challenge, but I'm confident that if he finds a more active person he can be a couch potato and lap dog. I love him and have worked with him for 3 years. He is trained, but is stubborn. He is healthy and happy. I just physically am unable to handle walks.

Story
Greta is arriving in WI on Friday 1/30 and we will learn more about her, so more information coming soon. What we know now: At 5-6 years young, Greta's past life has consisted of back-to-back breeding and then she became no longer useful to the breeders, so they dumped her and she landed herself on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding. She is now safe and free from that life! In Texas she was tested with other dogs and did well and was all wags and butt wiggles! She's looking for a place to lay her big head and live out the rest of her life being pampered like the queen she is and how deserves after all that baby raising she's done! She is very cuddly, gives kisses freely, and looks at you like she's hanging on your every word. She is food motivated and we think she will be a quick learner!

Story
We adopted Lily Oct 2025. Unfortunately home life has changed, we have to move & new job requiring travel. Lily has been great getting to know. She loves people!! She is fully house trained, no accidents. She responds best to affection over treats. Her foster mom had another dog & they played well together. She pulls a bit during walks, but with appropriate positive reinforcement (kisses & hugs), she traines very well.

American Bulldog

Male, Adult
Jefferson, WI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
4 years old (estimated) Neutered male 64 lbs Has done well with other dogs, cats, and kids at the shelter Pongo is a happy, loving guy with a heart as big as his smile. He adores belly rubs, enjoys being close to his people, and has a laid-back, affectionate personality that makes him a joy to be around. Pongo walks well on leash and knows his tricks including sit, down, shake, and even spin! When it’s time to relax, he fully commits, complete with some truly adorable snores that only add to his charm. Pongo would make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a sweet, gentle dog with a sense of humor and lots of love to give. The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.February 5, 2026, 10:52 am

Story
HI I`m Junior! I`m like a big dog in a midsize body. With my short gravity base I can be a strong dog, but after a while I ease up pretty well on walks. I can be intimidating at first until I ok you but after that we`re all good. I am a confident dog and get along with most everyone. Let`s be real, how can you not like this face?
