Florida and we are learning more about him every day. We do know that he's ALL puppy and needs to learn his basic manners such as the food on the counter isn't for him so stop checking it out. He met a cat and squirrel in the yard and could care less so that is encouraging. But he isn't currently living with cats so we cannot say for sure how he would be with a cat in the home. Gump goes into his crate very nicely and will stay there while you're away. He gets along with all dogs and is just a happy, happy young guy! He is the happiest little boy ever! From his foster mom: Gump is one sweet little boy that will brighten up you and your family's day. This little guy will put a smile on your face when you see him wake up in the morning, greet you at the door or just when he comes running up to you just to give you a kiss just to let you know how happy he is. Even though he is just a pup, he is going to make someone very happy! Gump is a great companion and with time, he will be your little buddy by your side. Since Gump has arrived, we have learned to walk on the leash not only by himself but also to walk nicely with his big brother Bleu or Bess. Gump sometimes grabs their leash to get them going at a faster pace or to just get their attention but walks very well. We know how to sit, down, stay for about 3 seconds but, we are still learning. Gump loves meeting the neighbors and is as happy as can be. We are working on no jump/fly in the air. If it isn't a bird or a plane, it has to be a Gump! He literally flies Gump always has a chew toy (horn or chew ring) to keep him busy and give his big brother or sister a break from playing. Haven't given him any opportunity to eat something that isn't his so since he is a pup, I keep a close eye on him and if I think he has something in his mouth (since he is curious about everything), I have no problem opening his mouth and looking inside. Gump is not food aggressive. I have my hands in his mouth and bowl all the time to make sure. Gump is potty trained too! Will go to the door to be let out so make sure you let him out. I let him out immediately after he eats, plays inside, wakes up or when he just starts getting curious inside just to be on the safe side. Remember, Gump is just a pup that was dumped out in the rock pits not knowing how to be a puppy, no manners, no love and trying to figure out how to survive. He has a warm bed, home, foster family and plenty of love and food. Gump is just waiting for the perfect family…is that you? If you are interested in giving Gump his happily ever after, please submit an adoption application at www.americanbulldogrescue.org. It is our policy at American Bulldog Rescue not to place the same gender dogs in a home. Adoptions are most successful and harmonious with opposite genders. Please also note: No one will be considered without first submitting an adoption application. Our dogs are in homes and only approved adopters can meet them. Once approved, you can meet any dog you like that would be a good fit for you/your family. PLEASE READ: Adopters will not be considered without completing an application. Please visit www.AmericanBulldogRescue.org to apply! Remember - Adoption is always the best option! If you can't help by adopting a homeless pet, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to American Bulldog Rescue, 4 Terry Drive, Suite 1D Newtown, PA 18940 or paypal AmericanBulldogRescue@verizon.net. We cannot place dogs in homes with children under 10 unless that dog has lived with kids or is in a foster home with kids. Thank you. To be considered for adoption, you must apply using our free, online application. Our dogs are fostered in our volunteers' homes, not in a central shelter/location. Only approved applicants are put into contact with the foster family to setup a meeting with the foster dog.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
