Story
Meet Billy, the handsome, hunk-worthy member of our Stranger Things crew. This 2-year-old male bulldog mix was found as a stray by MADACC, and he’s already proven that he’s got the looks and the personality to steal hearts. Billy is a classic goofy bulldog. His foster says it best: "This boy snoozes like it’s his full-time job, but the second I move, he’s right behind me. I can’t even use the restroom without my little bulldog bodyguard following along. 😂 He loves treats… he just doesn’t believe in actually working for them. A king deserves tribute, after all. But food? He will never turn it down. 🍗😅 Between that squishy, adorable face and his calm, well-behaved nature, he’s pretty much perfect. I’m so lucky to be his foster — and even luckier to be his favorite human pillow. 💛" Billy hasn’t been dog or cat tested yet, but we can arrange that for serious applicants. With his squishy face, affectionate nature, and playful bulldog charm, Billy is ready to find a home where he can be the king of hearts — and laps. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

American Bulldog

Female, Adult
Jefferson, WI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
3 years old (estimated) Spayed female Seems interested in other dogs Has done well with cats in a foster home Has done well with children in a foster home Tortilla is a cuddly, gentle girl who loves being close to her people and happily claims the title of giant lap dog. She enjoys long walks, playing fetch, and showing off her goofy keep-away skills. Her favorite enrichment is diving into her destruction boxes to uncover treats and treasures. 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.December 10, 2025, 3:47 pm

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?

Story
Xander says Good MorningXander is a super cool dude with a ton of energy. A bundle of fun on his own, you’ll be sure to never have a boring day with this dog around. When he sees you he just gets right into the spirit of things. He’s just happy to see you, and his enthusiasm is sure to put a smile on your face. Xander was a stray that came to the shelter back in November 2024. We’re surprised he’s still here, too. He likes nothing better than running in the yard or walking the trails. Xander loves playing with his toys. He does not care to share his people or space with other animals. We told him it`s better to share and have friends, but he’s not really listening. In his mind, why should he? If you think you have the energy to fit Xander, give us a call today! Ask about him today!

Story
Introducing Tutti, the lovable Boxer mix with a heart full of affection and a zest for life! Hi, I'm Tutti, a spirited and affectionate Boxer mix ready to bring joy to your life! With my charming personality and playful nature, I'm the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loyal and loving pet. I absolutely adore my humans and thrive on cuddles and quality time together. Whether we're snuggled up on the couch or enjoying a leisurely walk in the park, I'll be right by your side, wagging my tail with excitement. I find great pleasure in the company of my loved ones and will shower you with endless affection and loyalty. One of my favorite pastimes is chasing balls and toys. Throw one my way, and I'll happily engage in an enthusiastic game of fetch. I'm always up for outdoor adventures, so count me in for long walks, hikes, or exploring new places. The fresh air and open spaces truly bring out the best in me! Having a four-legged friend unfortunately isn't going to be in the cards for me. I'll do best in a home where I am the only pet. I take pride in my impeccable house manners. I am housebroken and have mastered the art of kennel training, though I must admit that I have a soft spot for the couch or your cozy bed. After a day full of activities, nothing makes me happier than curling up beside you for a well-deserved snuggle session. If you're looking for an affectionate, fun-loving, and loyal companion, look no further than me, Tutti! Together, we'll create cherished memories and embark on countless adventures. I'm ready to become an integral part of your loving home and bring an abundance of joy and companionship into your life. So, what are you waiting for? Let's start our incredible journey together! **Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Wisconsin applications are priority, but Illinois applications will be considered if no small children are present in the home, the home is owned, and excellent vet reference can be provided. We cannot process applications from other states. Adoption fee is $350 unless otherwise noted above. Puppies under 1 year of age accept application for families with children over 6 years of age for large breeds and over 8 years of age for small breeds. Since they are still puppies, dogs under 1 will require a basic obedience and puppy training class, and spay/neuter at the owners expense.
