Conan is a big, soft-hearted American Bulldog with a goofy streak and a strong love for animal crackers. Now around nine years old, he’s keen on the small joys—he’ll stop to sniff every flower, though anything that hops or flutters sends him trotting the other way.

He still gets excited and can jump up, but calms with a quick correction. Forget dog beds—he’s loyal to his favorite blanket instead. He’s set for a home that appreciates his quirks and is ready to give the steadiness and comfort he deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
