Dozer: Thanks for stopping to read more about me. I’m a cute, playful, French Bulldozer.
Foster Dad: Dozer, you are not a Bulldozer. You are a Bulldog.
Dozer: Huh? Aren’t they the same.
Foster Dad: They are not, but you do share some similarities.
Dozer: Like eating treats, chasing balls, eating peanut butter or eggs?
Foster Dad: Oh Dozer, this is one of the many reasons I love you!
Dozer: Foster Dad, I love you too! Can I make a request of you?
Foster Dad: Of course buddy, what is it? More treats, pets, or walks?
Dozer: Those are all lovely, but I really want to find my furever home and get all the attention. My foster siblings are okay, but I just really like being an only child
Foster Dad: Dozer, I totally understand! I too was an only child and love it. We, together, will find your furever home!
Now that I’ve had the conversation with Dozer, allow me a moment to converse with the humans reading this. He is a perfect little boy who’s just had some unfortunate life events happen over the last year. His human mom passed away and his dad, due to medical issues, was unable to care for him. I totally relate to him as I lost my mother when I was 35 (5 years for a dog) and we’ve bonded over that. The loss of someone who’s been your rock, shoulder and world is tremendously stressful and requires time to heal. We thought he had found the perfect home and Dozer was adopted to a new family. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out as Dozer wasn’t a fan of sharing the love with his fur sibling, nor of a younger human sibling.
Most days you will find Dozer trying to get a squeaker out of the toy, talking walks (he walks great on a leash), napping, and trying to eat all of the peanut butter he can. He loves getting scrambled eggs for breakfast and Blueberries (he calls them booberries). Dozer makes me laugh when we play tug-o-war with a toy as he can’t get traction and just spins his legs as fast as possible. He’s a fast boy, and like a Bulldozer, will attempt to just go when a door is opened. We’ve worked on that a bit and he’s learning that the booberries come when he listen’s and behaves like a good boy. He’s kennel trained, potty trained, and sometimes has me trained! All in all, he’s an amazing boy.
So if you are looking for your first, and most likely only, fur child then please give Dozer a consideration. Much like humans, a second chance changes a life for the better. As his foster Dad, I assure you he will reward you with a lifetime of love, laughter, and cuddles to warm your heart on the coldest of days.

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.
We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
