My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there, I’m Tommy, a 4-year-old, 60 lb., American Bulldog mix. I have a handsome white coat with a brown left ear that makes me stand out from the crowd. I’m a friendly and loyal boy who loves people and attention.

I came from Miami-Dade, Florida in 2020, thanks to Operation Save a Shelter Dog. They rescued me from the streets when I was very skinny and hungry, and a big storm was coming. They gave me a second chance at life and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a smart and obedient boy who knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. I’m also crate-trained and housebroken. I love treats and I’m very food motivated, which helps motivate me when training. I’m always eager to please my humans and get praised for being a good boy.

I have some issues with other animals, though. Because of my past, I can be reactive to other dogs. I’ve been working on this, and I can tolerate dogs in small doses, but I need slow and careful introductions. I also have a strong prey drive, so I can’t live with small dogs, cats, or other critters. I need to be your only pet, please. I also guard my food, so I eat in my crate where I can feel safe. I’m fine with treats, though.

I’m good with older children who I can goof around with that will also play nicely with me. I love to goof around and have fun. I need a home with a savvy handler who can give me a job, practice my training, help me feel safe, and grow my confidence.

I’m up to date on vaccines, neutered, and in great health. I’m currently being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported out of state for the right home. If you are interested in adopting me, complete an application today! I can’t wait to meet you and start our new adventure together.

More about this rescue

Our Mission​

Operation Save A Shelter Dog is a foster based, IRS-recognized 501c(3) rescue whose mission is to work with shelters on the East Coast by saving dogs at high risk of euthanasia or that have little hope of adoption in their current condition. Not only is it our goal to find furever homes for our dogs, but also to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, vaccinating and providing preventative care for their pets.
