Gaelic American Bulldog Mix Lewisburg, TN

My name is Gaelic, and I’ve lived in the same place for almost a year now, paying my rent in kisses and one on one time with my caregivers. I enjoy playing fetch, and will do that all day long if you wish. I weigh 47 pounds, and am heartworm negative and microchipped. I LOVE long walks and strolls on the greenway, and would be great in a home with kids and cats. I’m a little too possessive of my toys, so I would be best supervised at all times with other dogs. What’s mine is mine, and I like it to stay that way. My ancestry consists of 50% American Staffordshire Terrier, and the rest is Plott/English Springer Spaniel decent. I’m bouncing off the wall for you to adopt me!

Gaelic is a male found as a stray at Westhills School. He was hanging around the school either waiting on someone there or he had been wandering through the area as a stray. He is good natured and a happy go lucky boy now. He was wearing a blue thick and he weighs 47 pounds. He is fully vetted and heartworm negative and microchipped. He does try to be alpha so is not good with a dog that challenges or gets in his face. The volunteer fund paid for a DNA test and it revealed that Gaelic is an American Staffordshire Terrier/Plott Hound/English Springer Spaniel mix. He is very ball focused/motivated and will play fetch until your arm falls off. We had a police officer meet him and thought he would be a good drug sensing dog with proper training. He also shows good agility.
