Meaty is 43 pounds of squishy wrinkles and love! He was surrendered from a commercial breeding facility to ensure he would find the best possible forever home. So he has had a bit of an adjustment and it takes a little bit for him to warm up to new places & people. Once he is comfortable there is no stopping him from having fun! He sleeps well in his crate at night. He is still in the puppy stage so he will need toys and bones to keep him busy. In addition to this, when he cannot be supervised he is crated for his own safety.
He is great with small and large dogs although wrestling is one of his favorite pastimes, so he needs future fur family members who are willing to put up with his puppy antics. He is amazing with children as well. Since he is a puppy, we think it would be great for his family to sign up for some basic obedience training so he can work on his manners and learn some basic commands.

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.

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.
