Story
Denali is Yukon’s equally stunning sister, a big, beautiful American Bulldog puppy with a heart of gold. Found abandoned in the countryside alongside her siblings, Denali is now ready to leave her rough start behind and find a loving family. At 11 weeks old, she weighs about 18 pounds and could grow into an impressive 80- 120-pound adult. Denali is full of energy and love—she’s the perfect mix of playful and sweet. She would love a home where she can continue to grow into the best version of herself with training, socialization, and lots of love. Whether as a second dog or the only pet in the house, Denali will thrive in a family that understands the unique needs of her breed and is ready to embrace her big size and even bigger heart. She sleeps in his crate without issue, she loves to romp with other dogs and would do best as a second dog to truly be the best possible dog and have another to follow and learn from. She is very food motivated which will make training a breeze. He has the cutest speckled ears and is white otherwise. The "Big Truck" Litter: What They Need in Their Forever Homes To ensure Yukon, Denali, Tacoma, and Tundra thrive, they need families who understand their unique requirements. Here are their specific needs: Commitment to Training: Enroll in formal training programs to build obedience, manners, and confidence. Dedicate time daily to practice commands and reinforce positive behaviors. Use positive reinforcement techniques as these puppies are eager to please and sensitive to correction. Socialization: Expose them to a variety of environments, people, dogs, and experiences to ensure they become well-rounded adult dogs. Continue structured, supervised playtime with other dogs to reinforce good social behaviors. Gradual, safe exposure to public settings after completing their vaccinations in six weeks. Active Lifestyles: These puppies need daily physical activity such as long walks, play sessions, and interactive games to burn off energy. Provide mental stimulation through puzzle toys, training exercises, or enrichment activities to keep them engaged. A home with a yard is mandatory; they need space to romp and explore without restrictions. Breed-Specific Understanding: Potential adopters must have experience with large, powerful breeds or be willing to learn about their traits. Be aware of their size and strength—these dogs may not always understand their own power, especially during play. Commit to making them breed ambassadors by focusing on good manners and public perception of the breed. Family Environment: These puppies thrive in active households where they are included in daily life. Homes with another dog are preferred, but they can succeed as only dogs if they receive consistent socialization and engagement. Gentle with children but best suited to families with kids over 6 years old who can interact appropriately with large, excitable puppies. Long-Term Commitment: Expect these puppies to reach up to 120 pounds full-grown—be prepared for the food costs, veterinary care, and lifestyle adjustments that come with a giant breed. Dedicate time and patience to help them grow into calm, confident adults. Understand this is a 15-year commitment to a loving, playful, and loyal companion. Health and Grooming: Adopters must commit to regular veterinary care and keeping up with vaccinations, flea/tick prevention, and check-ups. Their short coats require minimal grooming, but weekly brushing and nail trims will keep them comfortable and healthy. Monitor their growth carefully—giant breeds need balanced diets to avoid joint and bone issues as they mature. These adorable pups have huge potential and even bigger hearts. Finding the right homes with families who truly understand their needs is essential to their success.

Story
After my mom got sick, we've decided she can't go home to care for herself or her pets. We would like them to go to good homes but we're running out of time. Coco is a gray bully breed who's maybe 4 or 5 years old. (unsure as she was rescued a little over a year ago from the Humane Society). She is an excellent dog! Lower energy level and very considerate about not jumping on my frail mom❣️She knows a few commands like sit and stay. She is great in public and out on walks, with wonderful manners in the house. She also is fantasticwith kids, and other dogs of all sizes.

Story
After my mom got sick, we've decided she can't go home to care for herself or her pets. We would like them to go to good homes but we're running out of time. Alaya is black bully breed who's almost 3 years old and full of energy. She is such a loving, sweet dog, and eager to please. She gets along with everyone except maybe 🐈. Great with kids, and other dogs of all sizes. She hasn't really been taught any tricks, as my mom really just wanted her to be her companion.
