I just wanted to post an amazing success story so far. I am 27 years old, and I have never owned a dog. My boyfriend has had dogs his whole life, and after a year together, my friend found a beautiful American Bull Dog. She was running the streets, and she was missing a great deal of her hair. Underweight and with a back full of scabs, my friend nabbed her and took her to the vet. The vet tested her skin to make sure she didn't have a more serious problem and checked her out. She is very healthy and about 12 months old.

I agreed to take her, and it has been great ever since. For a dog that was obviously overexposed and/or abused, she is wonderful. She loves her crate, and she has only had two accidents in the house. We are taking her to get fixed, and we love her with all our hearts. I couldn't have asked for more in a beautiful loving dog. Also, she loves our roommates Old English. They play together so well. So, its a great match for us.

I just wanted to share the story. I got her on Thanksgiving, and I can't imagine life without her now.

American Bulldogs

I already want to rescue another. I was looking at the pictures of your dogs. Cookies and Cream that's awesome. And Bella Blue is such a beautiful dog. Fina so cute. I can't believe how you can really tell that they are all the same kind of dog. I've been reading everything I can. I love bullys!

Here is a link to another dog I saw for adoption.... http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=6153815

He's got a skin problem too, but I'm sure my boyfriend and I could help him. I'll have to do some more research and go see him. --Jess
