Story
Fiona is a very sweet but timid bully breed female. I took Fiona in to prevent her from going to the animal shelter but I dont have the time She needs and deserves. She gets along great with other dogs and kids. She needs an owner who has time for her due to training she will need for house training and timid behavior. Fiona would do best in a home with a yard. She really is the sweetest and deserves a loving home.

She has gotten along well with other bullies. However, she has shown aggression with other dogs outside of her own breed. When the incidents happened, it was around food or close spaces.

Story
Woof! Hi there, humans! My name's Pepper, and I've got quite the story to tell. I'm an American Bulldog mix, about a year and a half old, and I tip the scales at a solid 80 pounds. Let me tell you a little bit about where I come from. I ended up in this shelter after a rough time out there on the streets. See, I was dumped on the SC/NC border, left to wander all day long, waiting for my humans to come back for me. But they never did. Animal Control eventually found me, and I'll never forget that ride to the shelter - all I did was cry and mourn, afraid of being abandoned again. When I first arrived here, I was scared and wary of people. But thanks to the amazing staff and volunteers, I've really come out of my shell. They showed me that they're here to help, and I can't thank them enough for that. Now, you'll see me giddy, happy, and full of life, especially when it's time to play! I absolutely love chasing balls around the yard - it's my favorite thing in the world! I'm what you might call people-oriented and a real people-pleaser. I'm super smart too - I've been learning commands left and right, and I pick 'em up pretty darn quick if I do say so myself. I am also super duper housetrained. I never made a mess ever in my kennel! And let me tell you, once I give you my loyalty, it's yours forever. I'm just waiting for someone to see what a special girl I am. Before you come to meet me at the shelter, be sure to submit your adoption application online first. This helps the shelter team ensure that we're the perfect match for each other and that my future family is fully prepared to welcome me into their home. Oh, and one more thing - all of us shelter animals come home spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and microchipped. So you can rest easy knowing that I'm ready to join your pack, fully equipped and ready to make memories that'll last a lifetime. So, if you're looking for a loyal, loving companion to join your family, look no further than yours truly, Pepper. I can't wait to meet you and show you just how amazing life can be with a pup like me by your side! Woof woof! You can fill out an adoption application for me using this link: https://foothillshumanesociety.org/adopt/adoption-application/

Story
Hello, future cuddle buddy! I'm Dozer, a 7.5-year-old American Bully with a heart full of love and a solid 65 pounds of pure affection. Despite my name, I'm the gentlest guy you'll ever meet. My favorite pastimes include snuggling on the couch, soaking up all the love I can get, and just being around my people. I'm housetrained and a total couch potato who enjoys the simpler, quieter things in life. I'm an excellent companion, ready to be your loyal sidekick through all the ups and downs. I'm on the lookout for a forever home where I can lay my head and share my affectionate nature. If you're seeking a gentle and loving friend who's as happy to be by your side as I am, I could be the perfect match for you. Before we get to meet, please make sure to submit an adoption application online. This helps my friends at the shelter set up everything for our introduction. All of our animals, including me, come home spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and microchipped. I'm ready and waiting to be your new best friend! Let's be BFFs! Filling out an application is super duper easy and it puts you at no obligation to adopt if we aren't the perfect match. You can use this quick and easy link to meet me soon: https://foothillshumanesociety.org/adopt/adoption-application/ Hoping to snuggle with you soon, Dozer

Story
contact foster parent at lashleydunc11@aol.comIndy is a sweet boy approx 3 years old. He walks nicely on leash with a harness; loves to play with toys - and occasionally will take one on his walks! He’s energetic and playful, but also loves to lay in the grass and chill. Indy is good in the car, smart and trainable- he already knows ‘sit’ and ‘down’ . Indy has been here too long and needs to find his forever home soon!-loves children-housebroken and crate trained-non-destructive-dog friendly*-cat tolerant-great dog for a variety of familiesIndy is really fun dog with a great off button. He loves to get out and play; would in fact make the perfect running companion or even sport dog. However if chilling on the couch all day is more your speed, he is game for that too! He will just expect cuddles; personal space is not in his vocabulary. He thrives off human attention and love! He is a smart boy and has his unique quirks too. He loves long grass and standing on outdoor furniture (he learned that we in fact cannot stand on the inside dining table but foster mom does not care if I stand on the outdoor table, pool box, pool recliner or anything else outside). Really, he is probably part billy goat without the headbutts to your gonads. So if you ever wanted a pet goat but your stinky HOA won`t let you have one......*He loves playing with other dogs! He does have a rough style of play so would need to be with another dog that can match that or be tolerant of that. However he is not a fan of sharing his beloved toys or food. So separate feeding areas and toy times needed.He is learning his cat manners. He seems to want to play but he is a bit too rough to play with a cat; we are working on this.And finally, Indy is absolutely great with children. He is very attentive to their needs; even carefully keeping small ones away from sharp corners and stairs.Indy would do great as a single dog or with neutral doggy siblings. I can absolutely pictures him living it up in a bachelor pad or with a young family. He would honestly be great at both.Last note; Indy has some mad hops. He needs at least a 4.5 ft tall fence if let out in a fenced area.
