Story
Tyson is a great dog and deserves a wonderful home. He is 50% American Pitbull and 50% American Bully. He is fun, safe, and sweet but has little aggression with other animals. He is not dangerous and has never hurt anyone, but he needs lots of exercise that I am not capable of giving him. My husband and I are both in school with 2 jobs and can not give him the time and attention he needs. Hoping to find a better home and situation for him.

Story
Over all Ralfie is a good dog, unfortunately at this point in our lives we don’t have the time to give him the best possible life he deserves. Ralfie is 3 years old and a loving and loyal companion with a timid yet protective nature. He is a vigilant guardian of the house, always alert to the sound of the doorbell or a knock. Despite his cautious demeanor, he is friendly with people and most dogs. Potty-trained and obedient, he listens to commands well, though he has a hint of anxiety and some suspected allergies. He shines on walks and bike rides, enjoying the activity while keeping to himself. A wonderful mix of affection and independence and lots of energy, he is the perfect balance of love and loyalty.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Love dogs but not the cost of owning one? HAVE WE GOT A DEAL FOR YOU! We are looking for a long term foster for Camilla as the cost of her food and medication is prohibitive for adopters. Camilla is allergic to just about everything so she takes an allergy pill every morning and eats special food which is quite expensive. We are looking for someone in town with a landscaped yard (she’s allergic to dust) and someone who is home a good deal if the time. We will provide all food, medication, and veterinary care. We will also provide a crate as she must be crated when you leave because of separation anxiety. Camilla is crate trained and potty trained. Camilla is so so sweet and gets along with other dogs and kids. She hasn’t been around cats but I expect it’s not a good idea.   If you’re interested in helping Camilla please fill out our foster application. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/BPNovember 5, 2024, 11:25 pm

Want more joy in your life? Need a couch potato buddy? Want to wake up and feel you are the most special creature in the world? Have I got a dog for you! Baby is a sweet gentle 6 year old who loves nothing more than just hanging out with her people. She's house trained, doesn't bark in the house or yard, has the most joyous tail wags, and according to her foster "is one of the easiest dogs I have ever taken care of". She would probably need to be the only dog in the house or can be adopted out with her previous housemate boogie who is also available for adoption.

English Bulldog

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sandwich is a sweet boy. A 10-year-old bulldog, he's low energy around the house, and loves cuddle/couch time. He has many features that bulldogs are known for: dry nose, slobbery cheeks, and snoring, but that's all part of the charm. He has a life-long prescription for 2 medications to address a muscular condition in his jaw that he developed as a pup, and due to his age, he prefers short walks and minimal play time. Sandwich would be very comfortable in a chill household with someone that just wants a chunky cuddle buddy.
