Passion Fruit

Dog Name: Passion Fruit<br/><br/>Breed: Bulldog mix<br/><br/>Sex: Female<br/><br/>Age: 6 (estimated)<br/><br/>Weight: 35-40 lbs<br/><br/>Medical Needs: Received heartworm treatment recently. Will need HW test mid July to confirm successful treatment.<br/><br/>Housebroken: No. She definitely does better on the days when her foster mom is home. For this reason, she is going to need someone who is not gone from home more than 4 hrs at a time or who can make arrangements for mid-day potty breaks.<br/><br/>Crate trained: No. She came from a situation where she was made to live in unsanitary conditions so its all she has ever known. She currently uses a crate with a grate floor for easier cleanup. I line the pan below with puppy pads so cleanup is not so labor intensive. Behavior wise, shes very content in the crate.<br/><br/>Good in the car: Yes, she enjoys going for rides.<br/><br/>Good on a leash: She does pull but at her size she isn't hard to handle.<br/><br/>Energy level: medium<br/><br/>Need a fenced in yard: No. Even if you have a fenced in yard, she will still require you to go out with her, otherwise, she will just stand at the door and not go potty. Or maybe you'll get lucky and she'll poop on the door mat.<br/><br/>Dog Friendly: No<br/><br/>If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Nope, she wants to have you all to herself.<br/><br/>Cat Friendly? Unknown<br/><br/>Kid Friendly: I would not place her in a home with kids younger than teens. She is very mouthy and can get rough when playing.<br/><br/>If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Teens or older.<br/><br/>Are you on the hunt for a furry sidekick to drag to breweries, dog parks, and Petsmart (because let's be real, what's better than a dog in Petsmart?)? Do you have a house party every weekend and need a dog that can keep up? Got kids zooming around like tiny tornados? If you said yes to any of these, save yourself the drama and don't bother finishing this. Passion Fruit is not your gal, folks. This little bulldog bundle of energy is half sugar, half rough-around-the-edges spice. Initially, she's all about personal space, but once you're in, she's your typical sometimes cuddly bulldog. When she first landed in her foster home, would she have taken a chunk out of me during those first few days if I hadn't let her set the boundaries? Probably. Does she nibble on me now? Only when she's playing too rough... which is often. I've got a bad case of cuteness-induced aggression around her, and secretly, she eats it up. Don't get her too amped up, or play gets real - and by real, I mean teeth-y. It's not that she's mean; she just gets overzealous. Most times, a simple redirect does the trick. Once she winds down, Passion Fruit transforms into the ultimate cuddle bug, shadowing you everywhere, begging for tough toys to 'destroy' or gnawing on a bone like it's the best thing since sliced bread. So, if you're up for the challenge of winning her heart and surviving the Passion Fruit storm, get that application in.<br/><br/>Fosters Location: Hurlock, MD<br/><br/>Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app
