Adoptable Dogs

Heddo! My name is Cade (I also respond to Big Stinky!), I’m a 5 year old, 80ish lb, American Bulldog, and I've been waiting THREE YEARS to be adopted!!! I was rescued by Samson's Sanctuary after I was dumped out of a car in Azusa, CA in April 2022. 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 new 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. I'm best bros with all of my foster dads friends! They take me on fun adventures! 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 especially love to find the biggest stick I can, and parade it around like a trophy. 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 THREE YEARS! 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, although i prefer off leash now that I have worked hard on my recall, I am e collar trained, 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 enjoy toys that provide mental stimulation and I'd love a yard of my own for my zoomies. But if you'll take me to the park, I love that too! I even have my own social media @CadeTheBulldog ! Check out all my awesome adventures! All I really want is a caring and patient pawrent or 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. Can i be your snugglebuddy furever?

Meet Gus, a 4 year old 65 lb Lab mix who is SO ready to be your best friend furever!! Gus LOVES meeting new people (which you’d never know was one of his biggest fears when first rescued!), going on road trips, and sunbathing! Now that he has worked through most of his past trauma he is the best, most chill housemate, and he loves to go on outings to coffee shops and restaurants. As much as he likes to do fun things, he also likes to snuggle and nap! Gus also loves to be groomed and is VERY treat motivated. He is crate and house trained, knows basic commands, and loose leash walks like a pro! We can’t believe he’s been waiting over TWO YEARS to be adopted! Please read his tearjerking rescue story below, and consider adopting the goodest boy ever, Mister Gus!! Sweet Gus was rescued with his brother from a barn in Barstow on Christmas Eve '22. They were found along with several other dogs who had been abused and neglected. Gus particularly had deep cuts and scars all over his sweet face, from a lifetime of abuse and defending his brother from the larger dogs. And yet, these boys wanted so badly to trust those rescuing them. Who could blame them for being afraid at first? We originally wanted to keep the brothers together, but it was proving to be more detrimental than helpful for them. They were so unhealthily codependent that our trainer said it was like they were “sharing a brain.” Gus' brother was quickly adopted, and when they separated that was tough on Gus for the first few weeks. His foster didn't have the patience to help him through it with at home training, so he went to board and train to work on his fears and separation anxiety. He waited there for over a year and a half before he finally found a committed foster home and he’s been doing wonderful, almost like he’s a completely new dog! Gus has come such a long way in his journey. He's been working very hard with his trainer for over 2 years now! He is the star of every adoption event he attends, giving every person who passes a big smile and wiggle, and 99% of the time he is successful in calling them to him for pets and scratches! Everyone says the same thing “He’s so perfect, how is he not adopted?” We don’t know either!! Gus is a mellow guy who would love a mellow pawrent/family to love him fur the rest of his days. He does well with other calm dogs (No huskies or large energetic dogs), and while he has worked hard on his impulse control on chasing small animals, no cats. He has loved meeting kids at adoption events and we feel confident he would do well in a home with older calm kids who are able to understand a dogs boundaries. Apply to adopt him today!
