Hi … my name is Rosie and here are some things you need to know about me! After you read through my bio, if you think I might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete your adoption application online.
Oh sweet, petite Miss Rosie … what a little firecracker! If you know and love English Bulldogs, you will absolutely adore this little girl. She is definitely a little live wire wrapped in fur and she is a delight. Rosie has always known love and kindness in her life, and her family was very sad to have to rehome her due to ‘life circumstances.’ She has grown up with children and another dog and a family that adored her. She is very social … never meets a stranger … and two of her favorite things in life are food and belly rubs! The ideal, perfect family for Rosie would have two special things: 1) experience with the English Bulldog breed and 2) a wonderful fenced yard where she could play outside to get her exercise (gotta keep that sleek girlish figure you know).
Why are we looking for a family with English Bulldog experience? Here are short, simple lists of ‘what’s easy’ and ‘what can be a challenge’ ..
An English Bulldog may be right for you if you want a dog who...
Is moderately-sized – built low to the ground but very heavy
Has a short easy-care coat that comes in many colors
Is easygoing and dependable with most of the world
Doesn't need much exercise and spends much of the day snoring on the sofa (after they are 3-4 years old)
Seldom barks
An English Bulldog may NOT be right for you if you don't want to deal with...
Tenacious stubbornness if he decides he really, really doesn't want to do something
Serious food possessiveness – Bulldogs should not be fed around small children or other pets
Shedding
Snorting, snuffling, wheezing, grunting, loud snoring
Slobbering and drooling
Gassiness (flatulence)
A multitude of health problems, a short lifespan, and sky-high vet bills
Approximate age/birthdate: May 18, 2018
Weight/size: 34 lbs
Housebroken: YES (as long as you do your part and take her out often)
Crate trained: YES … she will be a very good girl in her crate, but she really needs time out to get exercise.
Personality: happy, friendly, loving
Energy level: medium with regular bursts of high
Fenced yard required?: Definitely preferred unless adopter has plenty of time to help her get the exercise she needs daily.
Does he/she jump fences? NO
Leash walk with manners: Does well but still gets excited sometimes and wants to pull. She’s always in a hurry to explore new things!
Obedience training: Knows ‘sit’ and is treat motivated so she would do well in an obedience class. Rosie will do best with a strong family leader who will set consistent expectations for her.
Riding in vehicles: RIDES OK
Spayed/neutered: YES
Up-to-date on routine vaccinations: YES
Microchipped: YES
Social with other dogs: YES
Social with cats: Has not been around cats in foster care. They do get her attention and we’re sure she would chase them. Not sure if she would harm them or not.
Good with children: Rosie grew up with children. Due to her size and energy, she will probably be best with respectful, calm children ages 10 and up. She might be a bit ‘much’ for younger, smaller children.
Adoption donation: $300
We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits. You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references. Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process. We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.
When your application is approved, we will schedule a home visit/meet-and-greet to see if Rosie picks you too.
If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed.
