Story
We are fostering Willow who is a 2 yr old American bulldog, Boxer mix. She is crate trained and potty trained. Has a lot of energy and is learning simple commands and not to jump. She is great with adults and loves to be with that person all the time. Requires a fenced in yard to run, a home with no other pets until she learns to be less aggressive. Small children are fearful of her size. She is sassy and will vocalize to you when you talk to her. Loves to be cuddled and enjoys petting. She is 65 pounds and will need someone familiar with American bulldog breed. Cannot continue to foster as she doesn’t like my two dogs and cats. Walks with leash, but is learning not to lunge or jump.

Story
Apollo is very muscular but still a big baby. He loves to play. He will talk back at you. He has been trained to sit and stay in his kennel until I open his door and tell him to come out but sometimes he gets excited and doesn't listen. He will sit and stay and wait till his food is placed down and he'll wait till he's told ok eat before he moves. If I hold my hand out and continue to say down he won't jump on me but he'll continue to jump around. He's 2 years old this past October and he still acts like a puppy so he forgets he really big. He is actually a tri platinum merle fully registered.

Story
Kinley turned 5 years old in October. He is an albino American Boxer Bull mix. He is a loving animal, very playful and energetic. At times, he plays a little too rough. He never bites but sometimes scratches with his claws. He is partially deaf and has some loss of sight. He is allergic to corn. He breaks out in a rash and will scratch to the point of hurting himself. He came to us about a year ago and we are unable to keep up with with his energy and play needs (we work full time). This is why we are looking for a good home for him. We dont know why but he has a fear of the following: bubbles, sticks, and reflections.
