About Bacon

Meet Bacon, a lively 59 lb. neutered male who's around 3 years old. As an Olde English/American Bulldog mix, he has a striking coat with a sable merle pattern and a unique charcoal mask—a rare combination that matches his engaging personality.

Bacon is friendly with everyone he meets, gets along well with other dogs, and has a joyful tail that seems to wag at lightning speed. He’s truly one of the happiest pups you'll ever encounter. If you're interested in welcoming Bacon into your home, he’s currently in a foster setup. Please reach out to foster@friendsofdacc.org with the subject line "BACON A188170" to meet him.
