Bounce is a female, medium-sized bulldog mix based in Salisbury, MD. She is spayed and has her vaccinations up to date. Bounce does not walk steadily due to her special neurological needs, so she relies on pee pads rather than being fully house trained. She enjoys affection and the company of other dogs.

About Bounce

Bounce has spent nearly a month in rescue, searching for the right person to call her own. Her story started rough—she was tossed from a car in her crate and left behind. After vet visits, it's believed she has cerebellar hypoplasia or a similar neurological issue, which limits her mobility and causes a noticeable head wobble, especially when eating. She gets around with quite a bit of effort, mostly managed by her humans lifting and carrying her from place to place. Because of her mobility challenges, Bounce isn't a fit for homes with small children who might trip over her or startle her, but she does love spending time with other dogs and thrives on human companionship. She sleeps in a pen and usually uses pee pads for potty time. Despite everything, she stays cheerful, seeks out cuddles, and enjoys being part of the action. If you're physically able and ready to welcome a very special dog into your life, Bounce could be just the companion you've been waiting for. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
