Story
Meet our goofy and roly poly guy named Humphrey! Humphrey is about 2 years old and he came to us after he was found roaming alone in town. He is a very friendly dog who loves to get attention from everyone! Humphrey is a very short and stocky boy, but he is strong and can still get jumpy when he is excited. Due to his Bulldog type breathing, he is not a huge fan of the hot weather and it slows him down. He will not be able to be left outside alone for very long during these hot summer days. Humphrey loves cookies and he will trot around beside us while doing laps in our backyard. He is a happy guy and now he is looking for his forever family! Humphrey seems fine with other dogs and he tested non reactive in our cat room. He can go to a home with children 12 years old and older. If you are interested in adopting Humphrey Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application! His adoption fee is $75.00. PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL SPAM FOLDER!

Story
If you've ever wished a squishy bulldog cartoon character could come to life, allow us to introduce Biscuit. Biscuit is about 2 years old, and we believe he's a Bulldog/American Bully mix. Whatever his breed makeup may be, one thing is certain: this boy was built for maximum squish. From his giant blocky head and velvety soft face to his permanently adorable little teefers that peek out when he smiles, Biscuit is the kind of dog that makes people laugh and fall in love within about three seconds of meeting him. Seriously. Look at that face. Biscuit is a gentle, affectionate boy who loves people, treats, pets, and just being included in whatever is going on. He's the type of dog who wants to trot alongside you, supervise your yard work, investigate every interesting smell, and then collect payment in the form of belly rubs. Watch Biscuit in action in his video! https://youtu.be/ieAC7nEeQaM?si=-IPSQxWPEw1Qx5Fo One of the cutest things about Biscuit is how much he loves other dogs. During his assessment, he completely lit up when he met a little scruffy dog named Mateo. His tail started wagging at warp speed, his confidence came out, and he suddenly decided everything was wonderful. Watching him make friends was honestly adorable. His ideal dog friend would be easygoing, playful, or generally non-confrontational. Biscuit isn't looking for drama—he's looking for a buddy. Biscuit has that classic bulldog charm, too. He might throw in a happy little hop when he's excited. He can be a bit of a goofball. He occasionally forgets that he's not a tiny lap dog. And while he enjoys a good adventure, he's definitely more of a "stroll around and sniff every blade of grass" kind of guy than a marathon runner. As for cats, Biscuit surprised us in the best way. After a little time to process the situation, he politely sniffed, followed, and even gave the kitty some gentle kisses. We'd still want to do additional testing for homes with cats, but we saw some really encouraging signs. Biscuit also met a 9-year-old child and did great. Because he's a sturdy, enthusiastic bulldog boy who can get excited and forget how much squish-powered momentum he has, we'd recommend older kiddos who can appreciate his goofy personality. His dream home would probably include a yard, some snacks, a comfy couch, and people who appreciate the finer things in life, like bulldog snores, random happy hops, and tiny teeth sticking out for absolutely no reason. At the end of the day, Biscuit is just pure joy. He's funny without trying, sweet as can be, great with other dogs, and has one of those faces that somehow gets cuter every time you look at it. If you've been searching for a best friend who looks like a warm biscuit and loves with his whole heart, this squishy little guy is ready to meet you.

Story
Meet Honeybun! Honeybun is a 2-year-old, 44-pound Bulldog/American Bully mix, and quite frankly, she believes life should be enjoyed from the comfort of a plush couch, preferably wrapped in a soft blanket while being told how beautiful she is. This gorgeous girl has the most kissable squishy bulldog face, the sweetest pouty expression, and the kind of soulful eyes that make you want to tell her all your secrets. Her chunky little body, adorable bulldog wrinkles, and permanently concerned expression only add to her charm. She looks like a fancy little queen who accidentally got lost on her way to a spa day. Honeybun's dream life is simple: a cozy couch, a sunny backyard, a few favorite stuffies, and people who adore her. She is the definition of a luxury model couch potato. While some dogs dream of hiking mountains, Honeybun dreams of finding the warmest patch of sunshine in the yard and taking a world-class nap. To truly see who Honeybun is, watch her video! Then come right back to read more! https://youtu.be/onXz8umb0_E?si=7tM1X0HtR3m8CaMn She absolutely loves sunbathing and would thrive in a home with a yard where she can lounge, sniff around, supervise your gardening efforts, and soak up the sunshine like the little princess she is. She's still figuring out this whole leash-walking thing and tends to pancake when she's unsure, but honestly, Honeybun is such a homebody that she's perfectly content living her best backyard-and-couch lifestyle. Honeybun is wonderfully social with other dogs, but in the most Honebun way possible. She'll happily wag her tail, say hello, exchange a few polite sniffs, and then wander off to do her own thing. She isn't looking for a wrestling partner or a dog park bestie, she's looking for peaceful coexistence and good vibes. Think "friendly neighbor" rather than "party animal." She also did wonderfully with our house cat. She politely sniffed, watched the cat hop around, and then decided it wasn't really her business. We'll happily do additional testing for homes with cats, but she showed some very encouraging signs. One of the sweetest moments I’ve ever seen was watching her with an 8-year-old boy. Honeybun completely melted. She stretched out in the grass, accepted chin scratches like royalty accepting tribute, and looked perfectly content to stay there forever. Based on her gentle nature, we think she'd do wonderfully with respectful children. At the end of the day, Honeybun is a soft-hearted, low-key girl who simply wants love. She isn't asking for much, just a comfy couch, a sunny spot, some snacks, and people who will appreciate her unique combination of squishy bulldog cuteness and laid-back charm. If your dream dog is less "adventure athlete" and more "luxury throw pillow that occasionally waddles around the house," Honeybun may be your soulmate.

Story
Meet Posey, the curious canine who's ready to pose her way into your heart! This bulldog mix beauty is a stray who wandered into our lives, and we're still mystified by her unknown past. But one thing's for sure: she's a sweet and happy girl who adores people and is eager to find her forever home. Posey is estimated to be 5-7 years old, and it appears she's had a busy life as a heavily bred dog. But don't let that fool you; she's got the energy and playfulness of a pup! Posey is house and crate-trained, and she's been an absolute angel since coming into rescue—a perfect lady. She's fully vetted, so you can take her home today and start your new adventure together. Posey prefers to be the only pet in the house, as she loves having all the attention to herself. And while we don't know her history with children, we think she'd be most comfortable in a home with teenagers or adults who can match her playful yet calm demeanor. With a face that's full of character and a heart that's ready to love, Posey is the dog you didn't know you needed. Fill out an application on wwk9rescue.com today, adoption fee $250
