About Spot

Click apply to start the adoption process. Spot is a young male American Bulldog with lots to learn, and he’s already shown he’s eager to please. He knows how to sit and is potty trained, and his foster is working on refining his leash manners every day. Though Spot hasn’t had much socialization with other dogs, he always greets them with curiosity and enthusiasm. He would thrive in a home with another neutral or submissive dog, where he can continue to grow and learn canine communication skills. Spot also has a loving, mellow side—he’ll happily be your loyal and affectionate couch companion when it’s time to relax. Since he has only recently left the shelter and joined his foster, his new personality and quirks are blossoming more every day. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
