Story

~ I can live in any size home, including apartments.~ I am willing to consider sharing my home with kids over 10 years of age who are familiar with dogs ~ Although I lived with another dog, I have not had much experience with others. I may be willing to consider sharing my home with a canine.~ I have not had any experience with cats. I may be willing to share my home with a dog savvy feline.~ I have my moments of energy and need to get some exercise every day.~ My behavior is very typical for my breed. I would prefer to live with someone who has Bulldog experience.This adorable 2-year-old English Bulldog is compact and stocky, with a personality that’s just as lovable as his squishy face. At 43 pounds, Greyjoy’s the ideal size to fit in any home—whether it’s a cozy apartment or a spacious house. He’s the perfect balance of medium energy and medium vocal level, so you’ll have just enough playful moments without overwhelming your space.Greyjoy has lived with older children in the past and would do best in a home with sturdy kids over 10 years old who are familiar with dogs and can respect his space. While he lived with another dog before, he doesn’t have much experience with other dogs outside that situation. With the right introduction, however, he might be open to making new canine friends. As for cats, he has never lived with one, but he may be willing to consider sharing his home with a dog-savvy feline.This charming boy can be a little shy at first with new people or unfamiliar situations, but once he feels comfortable, he’ll melt into your lap with all the cuddles and affection you could ever want. However, when he’s excited, he can get a little jumpy and rude—therefore a Bulldog-experienced owner who understands his unique personality and needs would be ideal.Greyjoy`s favorite toys are soft and squishy. He’s already potty trained and crate trained, making him a great choice for a family who’s ready to commit to his lovable, sometimes silly nature.If you have Bulldog experience, are looking for a medium-energy dog with a big heart, and can give Greyjoy the time to warm up and settle in, he could be the perfect companion for you! Fill out an application for Greyjoy today and see if this charming Bulldog is the right fit for your family.

Story

Sasha is a really good dog, but is young and has tried to run off to explore the neighborhood which makes me anxious since I live in a busy Street. I initially took her in until I found her a good home. Unfortunately I just got my skin test for allergies that have gotten worse since. I also feel horrible because I cannot pet her and cuddle with her. My children provide her lots of attention, but she would do better in a different home where her owner could show her love and the attention she deserves.

Story

MEET HARLEY THE LOVE BUG! This sweet, big goober was surrendered to North Stonington Animal Control when his owner lost his housing. We were told Harley was twelve years old, but we think he must be younger: he has plenty of happy energy for daily walks, and when he meets other dogs, he jumps around and gives play bows and makes silly groaning noises. He clearly wants someone to romp with him! We think Harley would love to live with a doggie friend if he finds one with his same play energy. He gets a little too excited around cats, so a cat free home is best. Honestly, this handsome lug is going to be a super easy adoption for the right home. He greets strangers beautifully and takes treats gently; he likes other dogs and is respectful with kids (although older kids are a better bet because of his size). He chews on his toys and NOT on the furniture; if left home alone he will happily snooze until you return. He knows sit, paw, leave it, wait, and down, and can catch treats out of the air. He heeds correction from humans and other dogs. After a walk or a bit of play time, he happily settles down and loves to just hang out and watch TV. He's happiest being near you and he absolutely lives to get pets and scratches. Sounds too good to be true? Harley generally walks extremely well on leash, but if something really exciting happens, he may pull. Harley is a big boy at 75 pounds, so he will need someone who is comfortable with controlled leash walking. Honestly, that's all we can think of about Harley that isn't pretty much perfect!
