Story
Legend was acquired in NC from a reputable breeder who specializes in American Bull Dogs. He has been a part of our family since he was 16 weeks old. He is 5 yrs old now. Legend was raised in a home with no other pets, or children, he only knows his human parents. And for that reason, I think he would do fit better in a home without kids. He was raised mostly indoors and is completely house trained, not neutered and knows his basic commands and is a great watch dog. I think Legend would really benefit from a home with at least one other dog. I think he needs that sort of interaction and companionship. Legend would be best paired with an experienced handler. Someone with the patience and abilitly to handle a large and sometime stubborn dog. Going to the Vet is one of Legend’s biggest obstacles. If you have the patience and experience to retrain Legend to adjust to your home and lifestyle, please reach out and set up a meet and greet. He will make a great Pet.

Story
Hello, I’m Hazel, a 5-year-old American Bulldog mix with a white and tan coat and a big smile. I’m a playful and sweet girl who loves to have fun and cuddle with my people. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m house and crate trained, but I need some help learning to walk better on a leash. I get so excited to go for walks, and I’m very strong which means I can pull hard. I need an owner who can handle me and teach me some manners. I’m good with older children and other dogs, especially mellow ones. We don’t know how I feel about cats, but I can be cat-tested if you want. I have a lot of energy and I like to run around and play with balls. But I also like to relax and nap in my own space. I have a large kennel where I feel comfortable and safe. I don’t like to be outdoors for too long, I prefer to be inside with my people. I’m afraid of being abandoned, so I don’t like to go far from home. I have some digestive issues, so I need a special diet of lamb and rice. I also need to be crated when I’m not supervised, because I can chew on things. I’m a big girl, about 77 pounds, and I can be clumsy sometimes. I would not do well with small kids, because I might knock them over. But if you are used to large dogs, you will love me. I’m a gentle giant who just wants to be loved. I have a lot of potential and I’m ready to show you what a great dog I can be. I’m being fostered in New Kent, VA but I can be transported to other states for the right home. If you think you are the one for me, please fill out an application and let’s meet. Must be at least 21 years old to apply. I can’t wait to see you!

Story
Hi there, I’m Tommy, a 4-year-old, 60 lb., American Bulldog mix. I have a handsome white coat with a brown left ear that makes me stand out from the crowd. I’m a friendly and loyal boy who loves people and attention. I came from Miami-Dade, Florida in 2020, thanks to Operation Save a Shelter Dog. They rescued me from the streets when I was very skinny and hungry, and a big storm was coming. They gave me a second chance at life and I’m so grateful for that. I’m a smart and obedient boy who knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. I’m also crate-trained and housebroken. I love treats and I’m very food motivated, which helps motivate me when training. I’m always eager to please my humans and get praised for being a good boy. I have some issues with other animals, though. Because of my past, I can be reactive to other dogs. I’ve been working on this, and I can tolerate dogs in small doses, but I need slow and careful introductions. I also have a strong prey drive, so I can’t live with small dogs, cats, or other critters. I need to be your only pet, please. I also guard my food, so I eat in my crate where I can feel safe. I’m fine with treats, though. I’m good with older children who I can goof around with that will also play nicely with me. I love to goof around and have fun. I need a home with a savvy handler who can give me a job, practice my training, help me feel safe, and grow my confidence. I’m up to date on vaccines, neutered, and in great health. I’m currently being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported out of state for the right home. If you are interested in adopting me, complete an application today! I can’t wait to meet you and start our new adventure together. *Must be 21 or older to apply.

Story
Introducing Cannoli, an adorable American Bully weighing in at 70 pounds! This gentle giant is estimated to be between 3 to 5 years old and is ready to find his forever home. Cannoli has a big, cute head and a squatty build that makes him irresistibly charming. While he's still learning about his new environment, he seems to be housebroken and is adjusting at his own pace. He can be a bit timid and unsure, showing signs of being somewhat shut down, but with patience and love, we believe he will blossom. Currently, Cannoli isn't quite ready to take treats, which shows how new this experience is for him. However, he walks calmly by other dogs and has shown curiosity in meeting them, though he's not overly eager just yet. We’re looking for a loving and understanding home where Cannoli can feel safe and secure. A family with medium to high volunteer experience would be ideal, as he’ll need some time to build trust and confidence. If you think you can give Cannoli the love and patience he needs, please reach out! Let’s help this sweet boy find the happily ever after he deserves. 🐶❤️ **#AdoptCannoli #RescueDog #AmericanBully #ForeverHome**
