Story
Meet Sampson, a handsome, nearly two-year-old pup weighing in at a happy 62 pounds! After a brief adjustment period, Sampson has truly blossomed, revealing his active, joyful, and playful spirit. He's full of life and ready to bring endless fun to his forever home. Sampson is a smart cookie who's not only mastered "Sit," but is also fully potty and crate trained – no accidents after his first week! While he knows "Lay Down" and "Stay," he's a bit of a stubborn sweetheart and prefers to be in your lap than on the floor, especially if treats aren't involved! This boy is extremely playful and loves to chew, so a home with plenty of durable dog toys is a must – and vigilant tidiness is key, as shoes, stuffed animals, and even remotes can become tempting targets if left unattended! He's fairly good on walks, staying by your side with just a slight pull if an irresistible scent catches his attention. Sampson is a social butterfly, fantastic with other dogs – he even eats politely alongside them with no signs of food aggression. He's also a true gentleman and remarkably gentle with his human friends, big and small. He's been observed playing tug-of-war happily with his four-year-old foster sister, showing his gentle nature. Sampson is generally quiet, rarely barking, and absolutely loves to cuddle and be by your side. A true water enthusiast, he even enjoys bath time! If you're looking for a loving, lively, and incredibly cuddly companion who's ready to learn and grow with you, Sampson might be your perfect match!

Story
Hello. This is Caine. He is a loving four year old American Bulldog. Caine is a super active dog who loves LONG walks, car rides, to play, to cuddle, and also to just follow you around the house to make sure you’re ok. He isn’t a “protector” dog but he is “protective”. I received Caine in 2021 from a breeder when he was about 11wks old. He is NOT full breed but he his full of character and personality lol. My decision to rehome him is more of a ME problem. I fell into a deep depression from 2022-the beginning of 2025 which caused vet appointments to not be real concern of mine as well as my own health. I am now currently working but my hours can be longggg sometimes and I can tell that it’s caused him to be a little more stressed and anxious. I UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT have time to love him through his anxiety. Caine needs a person or family who has time to reassure him of how much of a good boy he is and proper care (vet appts). I wish I could but as I restart, I can not.
