Story
This is Monty! He's a 4 year old English Bulldog that loves to sit in the sun and spend time with his humans. Monty loves to go outside on walks and play inside with balls and chew toys. He's a silly bulldog that will be a great companion for someone who spends a lot of time at home since he loves to nap and simply be around his family. He is crate trained though, so he is able to spend time alone during the day too. We are looking to rehome Monty because he has shown reactivity toward small children. Our daughter is 6 and has learned his boundaries, but we are looking to add another baby to the family and don't think Monty will be happy in that environment. We are hoping to find a loving family that is willing to take him on as their own because he deserves so much love! Monty is reactive toward other dogs as well, but we have learned to walk him away from other dogs and keep him distracted. He's smart and food motivated so training and socialization is possible!

Story
English Bulldog Age: 5-6 yrs old Female, Spayed 38 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Courtney was found as a stray and turned into the local shelter. She had an abscess on her paw that needed medical attention. Upon evaluation by our vet, it was observed that she also has dry eye syndrome, ectropion eyelids that turn in, but her corneas were in pretty good shape. There were also sutures still in place on her lower abdominal area. The incision was too small for a recent C-section and there were no other signs that she had been recently pregnant (although she has likely had puppies in the past). It could have been from a recent spay, but lab testing indicated that she was still intact. It is a mystery as to why the incision w/ sutures was there. Our vet spayed her and fixed her eyelids. She is on ointment and eye drops for the chronic dry eyes, but it is possible that this will correct itself over time. English bulldogs in general often have LOTS of medical issues. Courtney had some domination issues with the volunteers when she first came to us. After some consistent and stringent correction, that behavior considerably lessened, but she will need to be monitored when meeting strangers. Otherwise, she is very sweet and loves attention. We pulled Courtney at the same time we pulled another English Bulldog, a male named Otis, from the same shelter. We thought that they may have come from the same home and were bonded. They do get along very well and probably bonded in a bulldog breed bonding sort of way. Courtney and Otis need to be adopted together. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Courtney, contact: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Alexa’s Rescue Story Alexa was rescued from a poorly run private shelter. The shelter has over 2,000 dogs living in cramped and wet environment. She was stuck in the shelter for 2 years. No one was interested in adopting her. A kind international rescue organization got a rescue message asking to help some of the dogs in the shelter that are running out of time. The founder has over 160 dogs waiting for homes and didn’t have space for another dog. However, when she saw photos of the dogs suffering. She knew it was urgent to help. The rescue took home 19 dogs and promised to find them forever loving homes. Alexa had a thorough medical checkup. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchip, and passed negative on her blood tests. Please give Alexa a loving home where she will never be left unwanted again.

Story
English Bulldog Age: 2 yrs old Male, Neutered 33 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Otis was found as a stray and turned into the local shelter. He was pretty healthy, but had a condition called “cherry eye” in both eyes. Our vet attempted to fix both eyes - the success rate for this repair is about 50/50. One eye is healing nicely, the other may not be so lucky, time will tell. Cherry eye is mostly a cosmetic issue, and doesn’t affect their ability to see. English bulldogs in general often have LOTS of medical issues. The only other observable condition, so far, is a flea allergy. Otis had a lot of energy, a lot of humping and marking before he was neutered. Within a week following surgery, there was a big difference in his behavior. He is young and still energetic at times, but he is also very sweet and loves to cuddle. We pulled Otis at the same time we pulled another English Bulldog, a female named Courtney, from the same shelter. We thought that they may have come from the same home and were bonded. They do get along very well and probably bonded in a bulldog breed bonding sort of way. Courtney and Otis need to be adopted together.

Story
Meet Reece – a gorgeous, wrinkly, red merle beauty with a heart as big as her bulldog personality! Reece is a 2-year-old, 60-pound AKC papered English Bulldog with a rare red merle coat that makes her truly one of a kind. Recently fully vetted, she’s now ready to find the forever home she deserves. Unlike many bulldogs, Reece doesn’t suffer from allergies or major breathing concerns—a rare and welcome trait! She’s a solid girl with lots of lovable rolls and could benefit from regular exercise to shed a few pounds. Reece is both house and crate trained, affectionate yet playful, and has that classic bulldog mix of sass and stubbornness. Reece was raised with toddlers and multiple dogs and has done well, but she would thrive most as an only dog or possibly with a well-matched, submissive canine companion. She plays hard and likes to be the boss, so she needs a home that understands bulldog dynamics and will continue to set loving boundaries. She also has one special need: an inverted tail, a minor birth abnormality that requires routine cleaning to avoid skin irritation. It’s easily manageable with an inexpensive product from Amazon and a little consistency. Reece is only being rehomed due to no fault of her own—her original family lovingly bottle-fed her as a pup, but after keeping several littermates, their young son developed severe dog allergies. In a perfect world, Reece’s forever home would be with a homeowner who has a secure yard, bully breed experience, and the time and love to devote to helping her thrive. She’s ready to bring big laughs, big love, and big bulldog energy into her next chapter. Is your couch (and heart) ready for Reece?

Story
Happy Holidays! My name is Izzy. I'm a fun loving 8 year old gal that doesn't let my age get in the way of having a merry good time! I was rescued by a dog loving lady and driven all the way from an overcrowded shelter in L.A. I was saved without a moment to spare. I was sick as a dog with a terrible cold and cough along with double ear infections. I was in desperate need of some TLC and medical attention. I have now recovered from my cold, cherry eye repair and spay. I'm a loving little lady that loves people and children. Yes, any human that pets and shows me love, I am yours! I'm meeting new dogs and like the small ones best. I'm learning proper introductions to bigger dogs, I get so overly excited I get a bit pushy and realizing dogs don't want to play with me so much. I'm enjoying car rides, love treats and getting better with short walks. I'm happy with my comfy bed and enjoy being the center of attention! I love it when people call me cute, what a little doll and stuff like that. I like dressing up, I get more attention and treats that way. If your looking for a loyal little lady to be by your side snuggled up watching the New Year's Eve celebrations, I'm your gal! Just look how cute I am all dressed up!

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereAt 7 years old and 65 pounds, Cappy is a handsome senior with quiet confidence and charm. He was found tied up outside the shelter with many wounds. All healed now, he's enjoying the comforts of his foster home while he waits for his forever family. His foster reports he’s an excellent house guest! This sweet boy is house-trained and caught on to his routine quickly. He’ll even let you know when it’s time to go out. His favorite place? Curled up next to his humans on a comfy couch. He sleeps soundly through the night and loves a little sunbathing during the day. Cappy has arthritis, likely from an old injury, so he keeps things low-key. Gentle strolls, soft beds, and lots of love are all he needs. He’s great on leash and enjoys short “sniffaris” around the block. When it comes to other dogs, Cappy is generally calm and polite with those his size, though he might be too much for smaller pups. With slow introductions, or as your one-and-only, he’ll shine. If you’re looking for a laid-back, loving companion with soulful eyes and a wise, sweet spirit, Cappy could be your match.
