Story
Heddo! My name is Cade, and I’m an American Bulldog. I am three years old. I was rescued by Samson's Sanctuary after I was dumped out of a car in Azusa, CA. I may be a big guy, but I have a big heart full of love to give. I love nothing more than to sprawl out on the couch, flip over and let my belly be exposed to the world. It's my favorite position to sleep in, and it shows how comfortable and relaxed I am in my home. Because of my past, I’m a bit cautious around men. I'm more comfortable at first if a female is around too. It's not that I don't like men, I just need time to warm up to them. Once I trust you, though, I will love you fiercely and never forget you. Oh boy, do I love adventures! I'm always up for a good hike in the great outdoors. I love to be in water! There's so much to explore and so many new smells to sniff. I love getting my nose into everything and finding out what's around the next corner. When I'm out hiking, I like to take my time and really soak it all in. I’m independent but I do love spending time together, I prefer my people to be home with me but I don’t need to be in the same room with you always. I will rest my big head on your lap occasionally and I will sit in your lap for butt scratches. I prefer to be pet on my back until I trust you and then you can touch my head. I get along great with other dogs my size and smaller as long as they are friendly, but I do like to chase cats, so we probably wouldn’t be the best roommates. I’d be great in a home with older kids due to my size. One thing you should know about me is that I'm food motivated. If you've got a tasty treat for me, I'll do just about anything you ask and I will drool to prove it. And if someone comes to the door, I'll be sure to let you know. I'm a great guard dog and always on alert. I LOVE squeaky toys and tug of war. I’m also very fond of BONES and frozen tasty treats. I’ve been in foster care for almost a year! But, my foster mom and trainer work hard on teaching me new skills and giving me structure and boundaries. I walk with a loose leash, I am muzzle trained, I know multiple commands and will work for food. I don’t mean to brag but I am extremely smart and learn very quickly! I need mental stimulation and a good amount of space for my zoomies. I even have my own social media @CadeTheBulldog ! Check out all my awesome adventures! All I really want is a caring and patient family who will love me for who I am and take me on all sorts of adventures, even better if you have previous American Bulldog experience.

Story
Riley is a very loving girl when it comes to her people. Riley's foster also fosters kitten and Riley will lay on her back, allow them to suckle, and groom them with her tongue - she's a complete Mama Bear! Riley cannot be placed with other dogs and must be muzzled on walks. Riley's previous life involved her being used as a bait dog and she has carried that trauma with her ever since. But don't let that fool you! Riley knows how to give the best cuddles to her person!

Story
"If you need a four-legged security guard, I'm your man!!" Baylard is a fearless and confident dog with so much love and affection to give. He would love to spend his nights just snuggled up with his people while getting belly rubs and giving kisses. This ultra-protective boy will greet your friends with a smile and wagging tail, while keeping strangers and uninvited folks at bay. Although he can be frightful around other four-legged critters, he is sure to keep you entertained and loved. This devoted and confident boy would do best in a home with a yard so he has plenty of place to explore and ensure that all perimeters are secure! He loves making sure his family is safe. Baylard also loves having the opportunity to sunbathe, so a yard is most suitable for him. Please fill out an application to meet this wonderful and constant companion!
