Story

- Friendly with new people and likes laps, pets and attention - Super into treats, including whipped cream - Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip and was a cuddly companion: "We took him on a walk and let him run in the backyard. He's a big lover, and he is good with older kids!" - Likes to explore new places - Already knows sit, shake and stay - Not a fan of loud noises, including thunder and fireworks; would prefer a quieter home - Has done well with school-age kids; can be a bit bouncy when he's excited so will likely do best with kids who are old enough and big enough to be OK with that - May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro required) - Is not a fan of cats and needs a home without them- May have allergies (more info at ARL) All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.

Story

Goliath is a stunning sleek boy! He turns heads and melts your heart with his big pittie smile! He LOVES people! Maybe a little too much. Some days this big 50 pound love bug still thinks hes a 10 pound puppy and wants to sit in our lap! Goliath would do best in a home that has older children as he still doesn't realize how big he is as he is still full of his puppy energy. He would never hurt anyone! He just doesn't realize how big he is and can easily knock down littles. He knows basic command and is house trained and crate trained. He gets along with other dogs but tends to play on the more energetic side, so other large dogs are best for him. He has a big big heart and will be someone's best buddy on the road, hiking/fishing/camping/running buddy. A good pittie is a TIRED pittie :) And Goliath is a GOOD PITTIE :) Local adoption fee $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area) $50 temporary fuel surcharge

Meet Paxton! Paxton has an incredible temperament — calm, balanced, and happy to go with the flow.

He’s about 8 months old and 55 pounds, and we expect him to finish filling out around 65 pounds. With his sturdy build and expressive face, he looks like a lovable bull terrier mix. Paxton is potty trained, knows sit, and is great with kids, cats, and other dogs. He’s a funny, stocky guy with a big heart and an even bigger charm — the kind of dog who will keep you smiling every single day. If you’re looking for an easygoing, affectionate companion, Paxton is your guy! 🐾

Story

Meet Trey! Trey is the absolute sweetest bulldog you’ll ever meet. He’s incredibly friendly and does amazing with all people and other dogs—his temperament truly couldn’t be better. Trey came to us with some skin issues, but he’s been healing up beautifully and is now ready to find his forever family. He’s a big, handsome boy at a solid 72 pounds and is estimated to be around 6 years old. Laid-back and easygoing, Trey also has a playful side and loves his toys. He enjoys having a kennel in his home—not because he has to, but because he genuinely loves it. It’s his happy place, and he often goes in on his own just to relax (no door needed!). If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate bulldog with a heart of gold, Trey might just be your perfect match.
