Story
I found Belfor (Bell) in East side Detroit while at work, he was extremely malnourished, weighed around 50 lbs with ribs showing. Took him home, fed him, vet visits showed he had heart worms and other infections from eating garbage and cuts. The plan was to adopt him out right away but he stole my heart he was so sick. As he got better he started off with our full trust. As time went on he lunged and nipped a few people visiting our home and he was found to be very overly protective. He can't be trusted around strangers who come and visit our home but out and about he seems ok. He has been quarantined in our home because of fear he will hurt someone or an animal. Im not a great dog owner just someone who had a big heart for a hurting dog. He needs a better home where someone knows how to handle and take care of such a big dog. He weighs about 100 lbs.

American Bulldog

Female, Senior
Troy, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Granny Thelma and Lady Louise have been together their whole lives. They had the same owner who clearly loved them so much. They came into animal control after DPD picked them up from a call where their owner was DOA. Their owner truly did everything right — both girls are spayed, heartworm negative, and Thelma’s microchip shows it was implanted 13 years ago, when she was just a pup. They were very much house dogs, loved, and even a little chunky. He did everything right… just not outlive them. 💔 The shelter made a plea for them, asking please don’t let this be their final resting place… and no one stepped up. When we saw them again at the shelter, sad in their kennels, we figured — what’s two more temporary house guests at the senior center we’ve got going on right now? 🤪 And these two have been incredible house guests. They clearly know what it’s like to live in a home. They love the couch, dog beds, and being together. They’re potty trained, quiet, content, sweet as pie, and so far don’t need to be crated at all. They sleep peacefully curled up side by side. They enjoy the presence of the other dogs, especially calm old fart dogs like them. They are deeply bonded. When I gave Thelma (the older sister with hip issues) a bath, Louise climbed in and literally positioned herself between Thelma and the wall to help prop her up. 🥹 They’re almost always touching, and Louise gets frantic if Thelma wanders off without her. They don’t mind our dogs one bit, and I actually think living with other dogs could be really beneficial — Louise is going to be absolutely shattered when she eventually loses her sister. 😭 Both girls are overall healthy. Thelma is in the beginning stages of renal failure and has arthritis in her back hips — stairs and getting on/off the couch are hard — but she’s a determined old lady. Louise has fewer mobility issues but still prefers a little royal lift onto the couch. 😂 I know this is a big, big ask… but there has to be someone out there for two easygoing, gentle souls who’ve lost everything except each other.

Meet Bojangles! This loving bully mix is just five months old and already the happy go lucky kind of dog that people dream of having. While adventuring and floating on the river are his favorite activities so far, this fella is also down for playing with other dogs. Despite his adventurous nature, Bojangles will also settle well in a crate and is totally up for snuggling with his person. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bio from rescuer: Please contact directly if you can assist with this sweet girl <3 Hello. This is Roxy. She goes by Roxy, Rox, or her favorite, ROXER! We took her in Xmas eve last minute, from her owner of 10+ years, who was going to put her down if he didn’t find a home due to “not having time for her anymore.” She is 13/14 years old. Boxer mix. She has a growth on her leg that her prev owner said was non cancerous and didn’t need to be removed, but it affects her walking to where she has a limp. She is such a sweet girl and would do good in a home w older or less hyper dogs. Or at least trained dogs! she just needs a good home! She’s still playful and very energetic! She enjoys lots of cuddles! Grew up around kids, dogs, and cats! ? She is also spayed and housebroken! She loves loves loves lots of cookies (aka dog treats haha).
