My personality

My story

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

Medusa, our 2 year old Bulldog mix, is a certified beefcake (we looked up what the female version of "beefcake" is and the internet suggested "cheesecake". Gross. Sticking with beefcake). We're sure 50 of her 56 pounds is pure muscle. The rest is rolls of smooshy skin. She's certainly one of the coolest looking dogs we know, and Medusa has the personality to match. We're so excited to find this deserving dog a home.

Our local shelter asked us to help Medusa after she'd been surrendered while heavily pregnant. She contracted pneumonia and was really sick. We got her into foster just in time to give birth to 3 healthy puppies. Medusa is an A+ mom. Now that everyone is healthy and the puppies are old enough to find their homes, Medusa is ready too.

The person who surrendered Medusa thought she was a boxer mix. But, a DNA test donated by her foster family revealed that Medusa is actually a Bulldog American Staffordshire Terrier mix. So that's how she got all that beef. Despite her muscley tough looking exterior, Medusa is more marshmallow than anything. She's incredibly friendly and affectionate and could spend all afternoon spooning on the couch. When not busy cuddling, Medusa is really playful. She loves fetch and leaps through the air like a border collie.

Medusa is crate trained and does well on the leash. She's good with other dogs and has been good with the cat in her foster home (although she occasionally wants to chase him. A dog-savvy cat would be best). Medusa is potty trained, quiet and not destructive. Although she's very sweet, she's also very strong, so we recommend kids over 10 in her home.

Medusa is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.

AI also suggested that a muscular woman could be called a "governator". See, AI isn't so bad. Adopt this Arnold Schwarzenegger approved girl by applying at www.stumptownstrays.org
