Our American Bulldogs
Here at the shelter, we have amazing American Bulldogs up for adoption. Some of them are:
Dagz
This is Dagz! She is a 6-year-old American Bulldog who is very sweet and easy going. Compared to other American Bulldogs, she is very gentle and calm. She arrived at the shelter when her owner moved out of State and was unable to take her with them. However, they provided her excellent training that she still remembers. She knows voice commands like sit, down, paw, high five and roll over. (Possibly even more that we haven’t discovered yet!)
Mickey
Mickey is our spoiled dog. He is a very handsome young dog who arrived at the shelter as a puppy and a typical American Bulldog. Mickey loves meeting new people, love belly rubs and is very energetic. He needs enough exercise and proper leadership from his new owner. Mickey will be great for an active family or person. We called him Mickey because he has markings that resemble the shape of Mickey Mouse! He is a happy dog that will always make your smile.
