Story
Meet Wally, a 10-12 week old lilac bully with a heart as big as his paws. He is the biggest pup in his foster home, but don’t let that fool you he’s a total softie who loves to play with other dogs (even if they tease him a bit!). Wally is still learning the ropes, and while he can use the dog door, he’s not always on target, so he prefers you to take him out for potty breaks. This little guy is a fan of toys, ice cubes, and, of course, his daily nap time! He’s great with kids but due to his size and playful energy, an older family or kids who are comfortable with a bigger puppy would be ideal. Wally is looking for a home where he can get all the love and training he needs, preferably with someone familiar with the bully breed. He’s currently working on crate training, but let’s just say he’s not the biggest fan yet, he’ll need a patient owner who is ready to help him adjust. Wally is also seeking a homeowner due to breed restrictions, and he’s eager to find a family who will guide him to be the best boy he can be. Wally has been neutered, is current on age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, call/text Randee at 801-232-8157 or email randeekrichardson@gmail.com.

Story
Yule is a sweet boy with a gentle heart and a love for the simple joys in life. While he can be a bit timid in new spaces, he quickly warms up with patience and gentle guidance. Once he’s comfortable, his playful and cuddly personality shines through! Yule adores squeaky toys and will happily entertain himself or join in on a fun game. He’s a fan of cozy dog beds, where he loves to relax after a day of play. His foster parent believes he’s housetrained, and he’s done wonderfully in his crate. Yule also gets along well with other dogs, making him a great addition to a multi-dog home. If you’re looking for a loving companion who balances playtime and snuggles perfectly, Yule is ready to be your new best friend!

Story
Dreamy gentle giant alert! Loverboy alert! Big ol' lunk who thinks he's a tiny lap dog alert! Alert alert! If you have "soft" "squishy" "angel" "lovey-dovey" "melty goofball" or "sweet dorky idiot" on your 2025 vision board, we must insist you meet Ferrari. If Ferrari could choose, he'd want to lie in your lap all day getting pets. He is a firm believer that if he fits, he sits. If he's not engaging in his love languages (a proprietary blend of physical touch x quality time), he's happy to relax with his paws in the air like he just don't care (we are pretty sure he actually doesn't). Ferrari has met large and small dogs and thinks everyone is a friend of his. He is still recovering from a leg injury, so at the moment his life will involve a lot of strict rest so that he can get back to being a big ol' goofball. He'd love to finish up his doctor's orders at your home, and then get to the fun

Sawyer

Bulldog

Male, 6 yrs 8 mos
Salt Lake City, UT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sawyer is a “Pocket Bully” born in September 2018 with a cleft lip, cleft palate, and spina bifida. He is currently eating and drinking safely on his own and we don’t believe his cleft lip/palate will require any surgical intervention. Sawyer will always need a little extra supervision to make sure he doesn’t eat anything dangerous for him, and will never be able to safely eat wet or goopy foods like canned food, peanut butter, yogurt, or any other liquids other than water. But otherwise he is expected to live a long, healthy life. The spina bifida causes Sawyer to be incontinent and to have some weakness in his back legs. He can walk and get around very well, but he will be in diapers for the rest of his life. He is a very happy, spunky pup and is friendly with humans and other dogs. He needs a committed home willing to give him the extra care he needs to thrive. Sawyer has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm and is also micro chipped. If you are interested in adopting, please complete our online adoption application at www.uaaf.org. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please email Jenn at jennc@mac.com or text at 801-554-9501.
