MARY American Bulldog Mix Alameda, CA

Notes from the foster family: Mary is a big, short-statured senior bulldog who is endlessly affectionate. She is house-trained, knows basic commands like sit, and walks well on leash. As an older bulldog, she likes short, slow walks and doesn't like to get overheated. Because of her large size and sometimes exuberant playfulness and willfulness, she is probably best in a home with adults or a family with older children. And a house with no or few stairs is best because she's not an athlete per se. She gets very excited when she sees other dogs but hasn't been tested for dog aggression, so she may need a household without other pets. She doesn't bark but makes a variety of cheerful vocalizations, especially around her meal times. She's always ready to nap and will lull you to sleep with her snoring. Her smiley face and wonderful disposition--she loves to meet people and be petted by strangers--will make her a great companion. Mary is ready to retire and would love to meet you! Mary's cheerful countenance and great disposition makes her a wonderful companion.

If you're in the market for a big ol' sweetheart to share your hearth, Mary is waiting.
