About Aretha

R-E-S-C-U-E... find out what it means to me! Meet Aretha, a 5-year-old English Bulldog built for laid-back living and classic snoozing. Aretha greets life with a little sass, a big heart, and a waddle that commands attention. Despite missing one eye, she never misses a beat and wears her lopsided charm with pride. She thrives on the simple pleasures—sun-warmed naps, belly rubs, and relocating between cushy spots on the floor. Aretha’s happiest when family, snacks, and a good lounge session are involved. With crate training and house manners firmly in place, she makes herself at home without disrupting the peace. Aretha gets along well with other dogs, minds her own business, and leaves the roughhousing to the young pups. She’s proven gentle with kids (from babies on up), and is so relaxed around cats, they don’t even register as a challenge. Fully vetted, spayed, and microchipped, Aretha needs a family ready to support her weight management and continue daily eye care. In return, she’ll deliver snoozy companionship, quiet love, and the kind of loyalty only a bulldog with attitude can provide. Ready for a housemate whose snore will keep you company and whose presence is pure comfort?
