Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Piper is a young dog looking for an active home. She is very smart and walks perfectly on a leash. Piper knows many commands and is easy to train. She's fully house trained. Although Piper is being fostered with other dogs and cats, Piper needs to be an only dog. She's fine walking past other dogs on the street, but needs a home of her own. She is very playful, smart and loving. In the right home, Piper will be an easy dog. She'll do best with someone who has had a big dog in the past, but no current dogs. Piper does best with structure, and loves to learn. She is a healthy, happy young girl. We had her spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped. If you live in the Southern California area and would like to meet Piper, please complete our adoption application found on dexterfoundation.com

Story

**COURTESY POST** Hi Sweet and Kind Humans my name is Georgie and I am looking for a LOVING and DEVOTED Person to take me home and give me the life I should have had from the start! My story is a sad and weird one to say the least and kinda long so here it goes...bear with me now! I was living with another dog but he kept attacking me so our owner gave us to a rescue. Failed by a human already! Sooooo I was adopted out and lived with someone for maybe a year and then this person decided they couldn't take care of me so they started reaching out to other rescues to take me in and I had a bunch of medical issues by this time! Now this second human who failed me claimed that they reached out to my original rescue for a year to take me back-but no one really knows the story, so the kind humans helping me NOW can only go by the conflicting things they were being told, ohhhh if only I could speak human, but they don't care they just want to FIND ME A LOVING HOME! The rescue who originally got me has since closed down and but got me into a foster home (we think, not sure what happened) but that foster home also FAILED me because I ended up turned in as a stray at an awful pound out in the middle of no man's land in pretty bad shape! Failed for the THIRD time now in my short life span. 😭😭 I literally had NOWHERE to go and was sitting in pain and not feeling well so on a wing and a PRAYER another rescue got me OUT and the medical care I so badly needed and promised me I would only know LOVE and COMFORT from now one...SO HERE I AM! A little more about Me!: I am a super duper cute and SWEET as pie, MELLOW Male 4 year old Olde English Bulldog who absolutely LOVES and ADORES everyone I meet! No small kids for me I might accidentally knock a small human over so older kids in the home would possibly be OK I can be selective with other dogs so I'd rather be your one and only so I can have all of the love! 💓💓💓 I like to take short walks and love nothing but to be next a person and have them give me pets 😁😁 I have the most cutest little stubby tail that wiggles when I am Happy, and I'm soooooo Happy now cause I feel so much better! If you think we are the most perfect fit please send an email to doghousebullycrew@gmail.com and put GEORGIE in the subject line and they will put you in touch with the rescue that has me cool? I REALLY would love to be in a home for the Holidays-you can HELP me by SHARING my story and tagging doggo loving friends! #ittakesavillage Thank all of YOU nice Humans who Help dogs like me-I appreciate YOU! 😇😇 I am in the Southern CA area-sorry I can't be sent out of state

Story

**COURTESY POST** Hello Humans my name is Lennon and it's fab to meet you and I'm looking for a home! I'm a 7 year old Sweet and Sleek, Affectionate, Super Lov-a-Bull AmStaff mix with an ADORABLE face and personality! 💓 I was adopted as a cute lil puppy and thought I had my dream life ahead of me but some people never got the memo that adopting a doggo is a LIFETIME commitment. They returned me to the rescue after 7 years with the lame excuse of, ready.... "Don't Ask"..... Huh?? Wha? They couldn't and wouldn't even give an excuse. 😬 And really now, I am pretty perfect and have the mostest cutest Smile so it's their loss and maybe your gain! I walk like a dream on a leash and I'm house and crate trained, dog friendly with other calm dogs and I know some cool commands. Seriously you couldn't ever ask for a more PERFECT sidekick than me I promise! Do you think you can make my DREAM of a REAL home come true? If so please reach out to doghousebullycrew@gmail.com and put LENNON in the subject line and let's make a date to meet! All My Love, Sweet Lennon **I also am looking for a FOSTER home too, maybe I can come stay at your pad for a bit? 🙏 I am in the SoCal area-sorry but my rescue does NOT adopt out of state.

Story

**COURTESY POST** SAN FERNANDO/VALLEY AREA/LOS ANGELES Hello Nova here so fab to meet you! I'm a 1 year old 60 pound utterly gorgeous female Rottie/Pit/Mastiff mix and my life had a pretty terrible start I was given away as a puppy as a TIP to a pizza delivery person. Can you believe that? GIVEN. AWAY. AS. A. TIP. Is that what this world has come to? Well this person had no idea what to do with me, he couldn't just set me loose so he drove to a breeder and gave me to them. oh boy. Well guess what? After a while they didn't want me either because they couldn't sell me (so many terrible people out there) and they were gonna dump me at the pound. 😭😭 What were the chances of a black mixed breed dog getting out of that place alive? SLIM TO NONE This nice rescue stepped up and promised to find me a HOME, a place where I will be wanted, loved and never treated like an object to be traded/sold again! 💓😇 I've got a stunning black coat and surely will be the envy of your neighbors and friends! I would make an active person a great running/hiking partner, am great with other dogs, love to cuddle and snuggle, walk superb on a leash, am house and crate trained and I just love everyone! Because these former humans didn't treat me so well I am looking for a home with someone who has bully/power breed experience to give me the direction and structure that I never got before. Think I'm the one for YOU? If so please reach out to doghousebullycrew@gmail.com and put NOVA in the subject line and let's get together! **I also am looking for a FOSTER home too (San Fernando/Valley area) maybe I can hang out with you for a bit? 🙏 I am in the SoCal area-sorry but my rescue does NOT adopt out of state.
