About Ej

Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today. EJ is a 3-year-old American Bulldog mix with a huge heart and an even greater need for a second chance. Weighing in at about 110 pounds, EJ is a friendly and affectionate companion who shines around people, especially when spending time with his veterinary team. He would flourish in a calm, adult-only home where he can have the spotlight as the only animal, enjoying the space and comfort of a yard where he can romp and relax at his own pace. EJ’s journey hasn’t been easy—his former family considered euthanasia due to difficulties getting along with their other dog, but he was rescued just in time and has since shown what a loving and deserving pet he truly is. Now, EJ simply needs someone to recognize his worth and offer him the secure, caring home he’s always deserved. Adoption is the new adventure! Ready to roll?
