Story
Diesel is a 3 1/2 year old brindle Registered purebred American Bulldog. I would guess he weighs around 75lbs. He can be very chill but also be very playful and active. He enjoys going for walks and loves water. He craves attention. He was our sons dog, we took him on Christmas, because our son moved to a new place that did not allow dogs. Me and my wife are currently living in a hotel with Diesel. We are trying to get a more suitable living situation, and is not easy with a large dog. Our son had a cat and another dog and they got a long. He also a young son and was never an issue with aggression. Looking for a forever home where he will be loved and cared for the way deserved.

Story
We got her from a pet store in Kansas City, she is now 5 years old, super energetic and playful. She generally works best with males, since we moved to Florida she has gotten hostile and territorial mostly towards my s/o but it is always at super random times. She is an amazing and smart dog I just don't have the time to try and fix her attitude and she has started growling at my kids when she is in her kennel so I don't feel like they are always safe when I'm not around which is quite a bit because of work. I know it is probably mostly from stress of moving and no longer having a backyard for her to roam and get more exercise so I want her to go somewhere that she can have more freedom and someone that has time to put into some behavior training but other than that she is amazing and has been my best friend since I got her

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Touchdown for Team Aaron Pawdgers!  Looking to add a star player to your family? Aaron Pawdgers, a 6-year-old hound, is ready to tackle life with you and bring endless joy to your home! This sweet, goofy, and gentle guy has got all the right moves, whether it's following his nose to find a snack or hopping around in excitement when he sees his favorite people! Aaron is the kind of teammate you want on your side—loyal, affectionate, and always ready to play. He’s food motivated, which makes him an MVP for training, and he’s got a nose for finding success (or just the best-smelling dinner). His favorite times of day? Breakfast and dinner, of course! And while he’s not a fan of cold weather, Aaron stays active and loves a good run on the field (or in your backyard). Why Aaron’s the Top Draft Pick: Sweet and gentle: Aaron has been a total champ with people and dogs alike—no aggression here, just pure love. Food-fueled energy: He’s highly motivated by food, so teaching him manners is a breeze (especially when you use snacks as the playbook)! Active and playful: Aaron loves being on the move, but he’s also down for a couch touchdown after a fun day. Goofy personality: Aaron’s funny little hops when he’s excited will have you cracking up every time. Loves affection: He’s looking for a forever home with a lot of team spirit—someone who will shower him with love, attention, and a few belly rubs along the way! What Aaron Needs to Win: Patience and love: Aaron is ready to level up in his training, so a patient, loving owner who is willing to work with him on leash manners and potty routines will be key! A doggy sidekick or two: Aaron loves his canine teammates and would do best in a home with other dogs for companionship. A fenced yard: He’s ready to run the play and get some exercise in the backyard! No cats, please: He’s curious about cats but hasn’t quite figured out that they aren’t part of his team. A household with dogs or kids would be ideal! Fun Fact: Aaron is a nosey guy, and his curiosity often leads to funny and quirky moments you’ll have to see to believe! He’s also an expert at tearing up toys, especially if they’re fun to shred. And did we mention his hops? They’ll have you in stitches! Ready to Call the Play for Aaron? If you're ready to add an affectionate, goofy, and playful hound to your family, Aaron Pawdgers is ready to be your MVP! Whether you’re looking for a cuddly couch buddy or an active playmate, Aaron is here to score big in your life. Don't wait—this hound is touching down in your heart the moment you meet him!
