Description
Dog Breed: American Bulldog / American Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). My name is Gunther. It means Warrior. I’m a little older guy who’s been through some stuff. When I came here, I was so sick. I had an upper-respiratory infection, a urinary tract infection, hookworms, heartworms, knee problems…I was so tired…I could barely walk and I was about 20 pounds under weight. I battled back because I am a warrior. But they tell me I’m also a goofball. I like laying on the couch with my people; naps are my favorite thing. And food. I like that a lot. My people have cats and the little ones are fun to watch (sometimes the big ones are scary, even for a warrior). Life is pretty good now, but I think I’d like my own person; one I don’t have to share with so many others. Would you be my person? e-mail us at animalrescuecarolinayahoo with any questions or to request an application.

Overview:
The American Bulldog, a powerful and athletic breed, boasts a fascinating lineage rooted in the working bulldogs brought to America by immigrants. These dogs were bred for various farm tasks, including herding and guarding, which contributed to their robust build and tenacious spirit. Physically, they are strong and muscular, typically weighing between 60-120 pounds, with a broad head, powerful jaws, and a short, dense coat that can come in various patterns, often with white as the predominant color. Temperamentally, American Bulldogs are known for being courageous, confident, and incredibly loyal to their families. While they possess a protective instinct, they are also affectionate and good-natured, making them excellent companions. They generally get along well with children and other pets when properly socialized, though their strength and energy require attentive supervision. Due to their active nature and need for space, American Bulldogs are best suited for homes with yards rather than small apartments. They thrive on regular exercise and mental stimulation, otherwise, they may develop destructive habits. Regarding health, while generally hardy, they can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, ichthyosis, and various allergies. Prospective owners should always seek out reputable breeders who conduct health screenings to ensure the well-being of their future furry friend.
