Mila is so sweet and loving. She is has two different colored eyes that are stunning and she is a true Bulldog Diva who loves attention. She thinks everyone in the room or those she meets on walks should be sure to notice her. Mila loves to snuggle and she is learning how how to play like a dog more and more everyday and is learning to love toys and treats.
Right now Mila is not a fan of other dogs, she loves to be the Alpha Female. She also has a very strong prey drive when on walks so she'll need someone to hold her tight when she tries to sprint after a bunny, another dog, or sometimes a squirrel. Mila's foster family absolutely loves and adores her. They have said if we didn't already have dogs, she would be staying with them, but they know she deserves a home where she is happy and comfortable at all times without having to work to "run the show" with other dogs in the house. If you have a couch to sleep on and lots of love to give Mila is your gal!
One thing to note, is Mila does have mild allergies to the outdoors and is on daily allergy medicine, which may only be required during summer months.

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.
