DESCRIPTION
Lunatomiti was adopted as a youngster but has found his way back to the shelter due to his active behaviour and the owners limited time to help him. He has been in one of our foster homes with experience in training their pups and has proven to be a quick study. He has lots to do and other animals to play with so at the end of the day he loves to cuddle and rest.
Are you ready for the story of these young one's lives. In eight weeks, they have been to more homes, have had meds and been fed the best however, we do hope we made up for momma dog’s attention.
Mom and Babies were doing well but when pups were about 2 weeks old, mom got mastitis and was quite ill with it. 2 days after the emergency visit and keeping cabbage compresses on her, only letting 6 pups suck on mom at a time the abscesses broke open and mom had 2 holes way bigger than toonies and very deep. Cleaning, flushing, and packing, we knew we needed to keep the wounds clean and we started supplementing the babies. During this time, the male dog in the house went for neuter and 2 days later came down with kennel cough. At 4 weeks, we started vaccinating, but realized Puppies, one by one taking sick and were diagnosed with mycoplasma (pneumonia). We moved them into other foster homes, by 3 or 4 and treated with 10 days of doxy, supplementing their feeding regime with formula and they started eating Royal Canin baby dog kibble almost immediately.
Once they were better, we then started to get them vaccinated, spayed/neutered and they were very ready for adoption.

The American Bulldog is a powerful and athletic breed known for its strong build and confident demeanor. They are loyal, courageous, and make excellent family companions due to their affectionate nature. With proper training and socialization, American Bulldogs can thrive in various environments, from active outdoor lifestyles to relaxed indoor settings. Their distinctive appearance and protective instincts make them prized as both working dogs and beloved pets for those who appreciate their bold yet gentle temperament.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
