Story
Hello, I’m Hazel, a 5-year-old American Bulldog mix with a white and tan coat and a big smile. I’m a playful and sweet girl who loves to have fun and cuddle with my people. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m house and crate trained, but I need some help learning to walk better on a leash. I get so excited to go for walks, and I’m very strong which means I can pull hard. I need an owner who can handle me and teach me some manners. I’m good with older children and other dogs, especially mellow ones. We don’t know how I feel about cats, but I can be cat-tested if you want. I have a lot of energy and I like to run around and play with balls. But I also like to relax and nap in my own space. I have a large kennel where I feel comfortable and safe. I don’t like to be outdoors for too long, I prefer to be inside with my people. I’m afraid of being abandoned, so I don’t like to go far from home. I have some digestive issues, so I need a special diet of lamb and rice. I also need to be crated when I’m not supervised, because I can chew on things. I’m a big girl, about 77 pounds, and I can be clumsy sometimes. I would not do well with small kids, because I might knock them over. But if you are used to large dogs, you will love me. I’m a gentle giant who just wants to be loved. I have a lot of potential and I’m ready to show you what a great dog I can be. I’m being fostered in New Kent, VA but I can be transported to other states for the right home. If you think you are the one for me, please fill out an application and let’s meet. Must be at least 21 years old to apply. I can’t wait to see you!

Story
Hi there, I’m Tommy, a 4-year-old, 60 lb., American Bulldog mix. I have a handsome white coat with a brown left ear that makes me stand out from the crowd. I’m a friendly and loyal boy who loves people and attention. I came from Miami-Dade, Florida in 2020, thanks to Operation Save a Shelter Dog. They rescued me from the streets when I was very skinny and hungry, and a big storm was coming. They gave me a second chance at life and I’m so grateful for that. I’m a smart and obedient boy who knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. I’m also crate-trained and housebroken. I love treats and I’m very food motivated, which helps motivate me when training. I’m always eager to please my humans and get praised for being a good boy. I have some issues with other animals, though. Because of my past, I can be reactive to other dogs. I’ve been working on this, and I can tolerate dogs in small doses, but I need slow and careful introductions. I also have a strong prey drive, so I can’t live with small dogs, cats, or other critters. I need to be your only pet, please. I also guard my food, so I eat in my crate where I can feel safe. I’m fine with treats, though. I’m good with older children who I can goof around with that will also play nicely with me. I love to goof around and have fun. I need a home with a savvy handler who can give me a job, practice my training, help me feel safe, and grow my confidence. I’m up to date on vaccines, neutered, and in great health. I’m currently being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported out of state for the right home. If you are interested in adopting me, complete an application today! I can’t wait to meet you and start our new adventure together. *Must be 21 or older to apply.

Squatty body handsome beefcake alert! 🐾 **Meet Cannoli!** 🐾 Are you ready to open your heart and home to a gentle giant? Meet Cannoli, our lovable 70-pound American Bully! This sweet boy is still learning to navigate his new surroundings and could really use a patient and understanding forever family. ✨ **About Cannoli:** - **Size:** 70 pounds of pure love! - **Personality:** Cannoli is a timid soul, still adjusting to shelter life. He is still a bit shut down right now, sometimes flinching when touched and taking his time to warm up. - **Behavior:** He seems housebroken and walks well on a slip knot harness, showing non-reactivity when passing by other dogs. He’s curious but cautious, and we recommend patient adopters until he feels more comfortable. - **Treats:** Cannoli is still learning about treats and isn’t quite ready to accept them yet. With patience and encouragement, we believe he’ll come around! 🎈 **What Cannoli Needs:** - A calm and loving home where he can feel safe and secure. - A patient adopter who understands his fearful nature and will allow him the time he needs to adjust. - No pushing or rushing; let Cannoli take the lead in his own time. Cannoli deserves a chance to thrive in a loving environment. If you think you can provide him with the patience and love he needs, come meet Cannoli today! Let’s help Cannoli find his forever home where he can truly shine! 🌟
