HOW TO ADOPT: This pet is available for adoption at a community event. Please check our Events Calendar for more information. - Friendly guy who will greet you with a smile and a wagging tail; enjoys being petted- Loves to chase toys then happily pick them up and show them off to everyone - Did great on a recent Dog's Day Out field trip, and here's what his human companion had to say about him: "Choo Choo is very sweet and very gentle. He was respectful of me when I ate. He is really good on lead and with a few reminders not to pull, we had no issues. He likes stuffed toys, tug and fetch. He loves the car and is great at riding, but likes to be up front rather than in the back seat. He was wiggly and cuddly, and when we sat on the couch he wanted to be on my lap. He loves forehead kisses, butt rubs and big hugs."- Knows sit, shake, and maybe more and is very treat-motivated- Likes going on walks and does best with a harness - Has done well with like-minded dogs and may enjoy dog friends in his new home - May have allergies (more info at ARL)All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.

Story
Meet Ford, a remarkable Bulldog whose presence is as powerful and steadfast as a mighty river. Just like the characteristics of his breed, Ford embodies kindness and courage, showcasing a unique blend of friendliness and dignity. Now you may not see it by looking into his gorgeous brown eyes, but Ford has suffered in his short life.... he came to the rescue from the streets with a HORRIFIC hernia on his back end, near his rectum. He required two surgeries to correct the hernia and allow him to have a normal life again. He came through with SHINING colors ;) With his well-muscled frame and low-slung stature, Ford is the epitome of a true bruiser, but it's his iconic "sourmug" face that represents his unwavering courage and tenacity. Despite his robust appearance, Ford is a docile and loyal companion, adapting seamlessly to any environment, be it the bustling city or the serene countryside. With Ford by your side, you'll experience the unwavering devotion and unmistakable presence of a Bulldog, a breed that leaves an indelible mark on your heart. Don't miss the opportunity to welcome this incredible Bulldog into your life, as Ford's unique spirit will bring joy, love, and an unmistakable charm that only he can deliver. Some basic information about Ford; he is male, a Bulldog mix, and is medium-sized (20-59lbs). Ford is not great with other dogs (or cats or other critters) and would be best in a home with either only adults or older children and as a single dog. But his heart will fill your home with all the love you need!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Meet Gayle, a 3-year-old female American Bulldog mix with a stunning apricot and white bicolor coat. Gayle is a high-energy pup who loves spending time with people. She's incredibly friendly and cuddly, always eager to share affection. While Gayle enjoys the company of people, she can be selective with other dogs and might need a patient and experienced owner who can help her navigate her interactions. She's a bit anxious and defensive around other dogs, but with slow exposure and gentle guidance, she has the potential to adjust and become more comfortable over time. We suggest a single dog home for Gayle. If you're an experienced dog owner looking for a loving and energetic companion, Gayle could be the perfect addition to your family. With a little time and patience, she's sure to become a loyal and devoted friend. Come meet Gayle and see if you can be the one to provide her with a forever home filled with love and understanding. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Meet your next favorite squish-face, Deebo! He is approximately 1 yr old, 35 lbs, and a French/English Bulldog mix. Deebo is house and kennel trained, pretty good with leash walking, and great with other dogs and cats! While he does really well with a wild toddler in his foster home, it isn't his favorite and he'd prefer a home with kiddos 12+. He is a BIG snuggler who is generally pretty lowkey, but does have the occasional zoomies/times he wants to romp around and play. Deebo came to us with multiple skin infections but has improved greatly after medication and medicated baths. He will likely always have skin sensitivity issues. It is preferred that any potential adopters have experience with these breeds and are aware of common medical issues you may have to tackle throughout their life. Good thing they have amazing personalities! If interested in meeting Deebo please submit an adoption application on our website- www.foreverhomedogs.org. His adoption fee is $300.All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Story
Charlie is a handsome two year old boxer boy who was surrendered to us. He lived with kids and other dogs in the past - we are suggesting children 5+ years of age and dogs over 20 lbs in the home as Charlie is a bit of a bulldozer and loves to jump and hug. We haven't seen him with cats. He's fully house/crate trained and would love to follow someone around all day. He likes car rides and invading a driver's personal space whenever possible. He has done well meeting new people in neutral areas - if someone new comes into his house or yard and he's unattended he thinks he needs to protect, so he will definitely need an adopter who isn't going to leave him out alone (but that is a normal general requirement 😉). Charlie is 70lbs of pure muscle so will need a strong adopter and someone willing to continue training regularly. He would love to be someone's cuddle bug buddy! His adoption fee is $250. If interested in meeting this guy, please apply at www.foreverhomedogs.org!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots.
