Story
Meet Rocky! the sweetest American Bulldog - with the squishiest face. NO KIDS ADULT HOME ONLY!!! He is approximately 1 year old. Rocky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, potty trained and knows some commands. Rocky has a sad back story despite being so young. He was chained up outside 24/7 to be a “guard dog” (American bulldogs are pets, not guard dogs!) & then one day surrendered to a high kill shelter in Los Angeles when he wasn’t of any use anymore. We then scooped him up from the shelter. He was never exposed to many things so he can get overstimulated on walks and can use some continued leash work for that. He is the sweetest, floppy big puppy. Rocky is crate trained and very regimented on a routine in our house. Even being a puppy he only chews bones and some toys- -loves to play with his toys and carry around his stuffed monkey. Rocky is good and playful with other dogs with proper introduction but prefers to be the king of the castle. He’s currently being fostered in the Tacoma, WA area and will be relocating to Los Angeles in the next couple of weeks.

Meet Elvis! Elvis is a beautiful American Bully boy, he is 2 years old and the biggest ball of love. He was saved from one of the highest kill shelters in SoCal. How he ended up there, we will never know or understand but today he is safe and thriving in his foster home. Elvis is super smart and has mastered potty and crate training. He also loves all people and dogs. Although his play style is loud and intense so he may not be for every dog! He is very excitable and would love a companion that will match his energy. If you’re interested in adopting this handsome boy please apply @ http://underdogheroes.org to be considered! And help us find Elvis his Furever home!

How this pet arrived: Bella was brought in by their previous owner on September 6, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Bella, a sweet and friendly pup who's ready to shower you with love! She's lived with kids and other dogs, making her a great addition to a family. Bella adores giving affection, and just when you think she's done, she'll take a nap and be ready for round two of cuddles. She takes treats gently, showing off her polite manners. She was kept as an outdoor dog so will likely need a potty training refresher. If you're looking for a loving, gentle companion who's always ready to share her heart (with a little nap in between), Bella is your girl! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 77.2 Age: 10yrs 1mths 1wks

Reggie is a super sweet, very well mannered American Bulldog mix who came to us by way of Western Riverside shelter. Reggie is a confident dog and does best with female dogs, but has also done well with neutral or submissive male dogs. He is house trained and crate trained, as well as knows his basic commands - sit, come. Reggie does well on leash and loves toys. He's an all around good boy waiting patiently for his forever family. Could that be you?

Story
Jenny is friendly, playful and energetic but is just as happy chilling on her bed by you wherever you are. She would more than love to curl up on the couch with you too, if you let her. Adventures and car rides are easy, some “head out the window” time, some snoozing time and if you go in the store for a minute, she’ll be standing up waiting for you to get back. Even when we go get groceries, she pays no mind to nice folks that load up our loot. This girl is also very smart, looks for approval, has fallen in with routines well and learned, or is relearning, obedience quickly! We’ve been working on her excitement to run through the door before you and she has learned quickly to wait and look for the ok. Her adopter or foster must be diligent to keep her safe from getting out open doors or gates and into mischief about own. She does have a ‘lil rap sheet with the county so that has to be accounted for. She is fine in the house alone, not destructive at all. She just snoozes or looks out the window when she hears noises. She loves to play and run and is super-fast in zoomie mode! She is agile as well and a great jumper! Her toy play knowledge is minimal so she can be taught lots of good play habits. She has not shown any food, toy or treat guarding towards humans but is untested with other dogs so far. She is treat motivated but once she learns the command she’s just as happy with affection reward alone. When she knows she’s a good girl she wiggles all over. Martini is housebroken. She is good during a bath and likes to be brushed too. On walks she’s fairly non-reactive to dogs, squirrels etc. but inside she is much more attentive and will give chase to small furry friends and bearded dragons for sure. No to cats. She would be fine with an older child but her wiggles and size would be too much for small kids. She is about 4.5 years old, 70 lbs., spayed, brindle with a white diamond on her back. It’s so fitting. Her physique is stunning now that she is eating well and has filled in, gorgeous girl!
