Story
🐾 Meet Roxy — Ready for Her Forever Home 🏡💖 Roxy is a beautiful 4-year-old American Bully/Boxer mix with a brindle & white coat and a heart full of love. She’s the kind of girl who lives life with joy — whether she’s racing through the yard with zoomies, soaking up affection, or riding shotgun on a car adventure. 🚗💨 Roxy adores kids, enjoys the company of other dogs, and absolutely melts for toys, treats, and cuddles. She’s also best friends with Sergio (though not bonded), showing just how social and loving she can be. 🐶🤍 She’s currently working on her leash skills and making great progress — all she needs is someone patient and kind to keep guiding her. 🐾✨ More than anything, Roxy wants what every dog dreams of: a family to call her own. A couch to curl up on. A hand to hold hers. A forever home where she can give all the love she has been saving. 💞 If you’re looking for a loyal, happy, affectionate companion who will fill your days with smiles and your heart with love… Roxy is waiting for you. 🏠🐕 👉 Apply to adopt Roxy: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GAPS-A-33 ✨ Please share to help Roxy find the forever she deserves! ✨ #AdoptRoxy #ForeverHomeWanted #RescueDogLove #AdoptDontShop #BullyBoxerMix #DogFriendly #KidFriendly #ZoomiesQueen #CarRideBuddy #RescueIsLove #GratefulAcresPets 🐾💗

Story
Orlando — A Gentle Soul Still Believing in Hope 🌟 Orlando is a 5-year-old American Bulldog mix whose heart carries stories no dog should ever have to know. His life before rescue wasn’t easy, and because of that, he’s careful about who he lets into his world — both humans and doggy friends. But when Orlando chooses you… it’s for life. 🤍 This sweet boy hasn’t given up. He still believes. He still hopes. He’s waiting for that special person — someone patient, kind, and experienced, who understands that trust isn’t instant… but earned. Someone who knows that healing takes time, and that the love waiting on the other side is deep, loyal, and incredibly special. 🐾✨ Orlando finds joy in the simple comforts: 🛏️ Lounging on his cozy Kuranda bed 🧸 Enjoying his favorite toys 🍖 Treats (a big win!) 💛 And most of all — feeling safe and understood What Orlando needs isn’t perfection — it’s consistency, calm, and compassion. A home where voices are gentle, routines are steady, and hands are kind. A place where he can finally exhale and know he’s home. 🏡💕 If you’re experienced with Bulldogs… If you believe in second chances… If your heart feels that quiet pull reading his story… Orlando may be waiting for you. 👉 Apply here to meet Orlando: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GAPS-A-15 🫶 Forever Foster application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/GAPS/DOG 🐾 Forever Foster or Adoption Considered 🐾 Because some souls are worth waiting for. 💛 #BulldogMix #ForeverFoster #SecondChances #GentleSoul #RescueDog #GAPSRescue #fosteringsaveslives #adoptme #homefortheholidays #Dogs #bulldog #adoptashelterpet

Story
CloveyFemaleAge: 3 yearsWeight: 48 lbsBreed: American BulldogTrial Adoption Eligible Hi! I’m Clovey. I am a cuddly and active girl who gets along with other dogs as long as we are able to meet with a slow introduction. I have not been around cats or kids to know how I would do around them yet. When I am out of my crate I will go to the door and let you know I need to go out. I am still working on my crate training as I don’t like to be separated from my humans.  My favorite snacks are hot dogs! I love those things. I also know the command “sit” and will come to you when you call for me. I enjoy the Bark Box fuzzy toys. I like to run in the backyard and play with my fur sibling and oh boy do I love to cuddle. I really love being around my humans and am a very loving dog when I am the one getting all of the attention. I cannot wait to find my very own active family who will give me all the love and attention I deserve and who will be patient with me as I continue to learn. To help me find the perfect match, I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program! This gives approved adopters a chance to get to know me in their home before making things official. You must be an approved adopter to participate. If you are interested in meeting sassy and cuddly girl, apply to adopt her at: www.causeforcanines.org. Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident and 23 or older. Children must be 5 years old or older.  ##2084245##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER : Lively, Lovely, LaLa, aka Lala-palooza, Lala-pop! PERSONALITY : It's hard to believe that Lala hasn't been snapped up as yet. She's smart and loves everyone she meets. This energetic girl loves fresh veggies, fruit, ice cubes and a vigorous "butt scratch." Have you ever had that friend or relative that overstays their welcome? You know you have. Do not despair as there is a solution. Lala definitely has the bulldog "toots" that are guaranteed to clear out a room (or unwanted guests). Just remember to "breathe through your mouth". :) If you're looking for a dog with the personality of a potato, Lala is not the dog for you; lazy is not in Lala's DNA. If you want a hiking or running companion or a dog (with training) that would excel in lure coursing, agility, fly ball or any other high energy sport, Lala's your girl. Ahhh, if only there were a way to harness all that energy. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Lala is a high energy pup that loves to fetch... though she hasn't quite grasped the idea of releasing yet, she is working on it. Lala is a pup that never passes up the opportunity for a good game of tug of war. MEDICAL ISSUES : None. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : Lala would do best in an active home with a fenced yard where she can run around to her heart’s content and burn some of that high energy off. Lala can quite play rough with other dogs. A home where she the only dog soaking up the attention or a home with another large dog that matches her energy would be best. Kids older than 12 would be best as Lala may knock a smaller child down. Lala would greatly benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes. Though Lala loves to go for a ride, she does get car sick so best not to feed her before she hops in the car.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs. These include but are not limited to pull fees from shelters, veterinary examinations, vaccinations, medications and care, microchips, neuter/spay surgeries, heartworm treatments, behavior evaluations, and foster care, as needed. Important notes before applying. Approved adopters must have their primary residence in one of the following states: Delaware, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, and parts of North Carolina and Kentucky. You must be at least 21 years of age to apply and legally sign our contract for adoption. Applications must be completed by the homeowner.  We do not adopt giant breed dogs to renters. If you are renting, and you are applying to adopt a dog that is not a giant breed, permission to adopt an animal must be obtained from the landlord or property owner. We do not adopt giant breed dogs to homes with children under 6 years of age. Homes with children should have a fenced yard. Applications will be denied if anyone residing in the household has a record indicating drug/alcohol abuse, theft, or violence. Pets currently in the applicant's home must have a history of appropriate veterinary care. Homes with intact dogs will not be approved for adoption.  Proof of any of the following exceptions is required: The intact dog is a working member of a law enforcement, or search and rescue/recovery team. The intact dog is registered under the auspices of the American Kennel Club and is actively being shown.

Homes with highly varnished floors must have non-slip area rugs or mats wherever your animal walks or rests frequently.  **Puppy Adoption Policy** To ensure proper house training and socialization, puppies will only be adopted to homes where an adult will not be away more than an hour per day, per month of age of the puppy, up to 6 months. Certain large-breed dogs should not be sterilized prior to 12 - 18 months of age.  If you adopt an intact puppy, you will sign an adoption contract agreeing to have the dog sterilized at your expense at the time your veterinarian recommends. Proof of sterilization must be provided to Mastiffs To Mutts Rescue as soon as the procedure is completed.  If the puppy is not sterilized as required, Mastiffs To Mutts Rescue reserves the right to claim legal ownership of the dog.  For additional information please review our FAQs or contact mastiffstomutts@gmail.com **Mastiffs To Mutts Rescue reserves the right to approve or deny any adoption that occurs through this organization without disclosure.  We reserve the right to make exceptions for special circumstances. **PA Kennel License: 05845   October 29, 2025, 7:16 pm

Story
Meet Gourd! Gourd came to us as a stray, and unfortunately was not reclaimed. Gourd is ready for a fresh start with his furever family! Gourd spent some time in foster with shelter staff, and they had lots of good things to say about him! Gourd does well with other dogs of all sizes, he loves to play and would appreciate another playful dog at home. He is potty trained and knows a few other basic skills like "sit" and "shake"! Gourd is very friendly with men, women, and children and loves to make new friends. He is a medium energy guy, the perfect weekend warrior who is always up for an adventure but equally happy to snooze on the couch. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Gourd home. If you are interested in meeting Gourd, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.
