About Garland

Garland is a senior French Bulldog mix around 10-12 years old who’s experienced his share of neglect but hasn’t let it dim his spirit. He’s deaf because of untreated ear infections in the past—one ear is healthy again and the other may need more care, but it doesn’t slow him down. He’s been neutered and is fully vaccinated. Garland figured out the doggie door in five minutes flat and waits at the door if it’s closed, showing patience that comes with age. He’s never had an accident indoors, spends days snoozing peacefully, loves a bit of sunshine, and is happy to free-range except when workers are around (he crates without complaint). His old man vision means he’ll need you in his line of sight, and his calm demeanor makes him a perfect apartment dog—he doesn’t bark and isn’t easily startled. He’s friendly with other dogs and adores snuggling with his people. Garland would be comfortable as an only dog or with canine companions. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
