American Bulldog Dogs Available for Adoption

SAMSONS LONGEST RESIDENT!!!
Heddo! My name is Cade (I also respond to Big Stinky!), I’m a 5 year old, 90ish lb, American Bulldog, and I've been waiting FOUR YEARS to be adopted!!!

I was rescued by Samson's Sanctuary after I was dumped out of a car in Azusa, CA in April 2022.

I may be a big guy, but I have a big heart full of love to give. I love nothing more than to sprawl out on the couch, flip over and let my belly be exposed to the world. It's my favorite position to sleep in, and it shows how comfortable and relaxed I am in my home.

Because of my past, I’m a bit cautious around new men. It's not that I don't like men, I just need time to warm up to them. I'm more comfortable at first if a female is around too. Once I trust you, though, I will love you fiercely and never forget you. I'm best bros with all of my foster dads friends! They take me on fun adventures!

Oh boy, do I love adventures! I'm always up for a good hike in the great outdoors. I love to be in water! There's so much to explore and so many new smells to sniff. I love getting my nose into everything and finding out what's around the next corner.
When I'm out hiking, I like to take my time and really soak it all in. I especially love to find the biggest stick I can, and parade it around like a trophy.

I’m independent but I do love spending time together, I prefer my people to be home with me but I don’t need to be in the same room with you always. I will rest my big head on your lap occasionally and I will sit in your lap for butt scratches. I prefer to be pet on my back until I trust you and then you can touch my head.

I get along great with other dogs my size and smaller as long as they are friendly, but I do like to chase cats, so we probably wouldn’t be the best roommates. My foster pawrents even had a baby and i listen so good and am gentle near the baby.

One thing you should know about me is that I'm food motivated. If you've got a tasty treat for me, I'll do just about anything you ask and I will drool to prove it. And if someone comes to the door, I'll be sure to let you know. I'm a great guard dog and always on alert. I LOVE squeaky toys and tug of war. I’m also very fond of BONES and frozen tasty treats.

I’ve been in foster care for almost FOUR YEARS! But, my foster mom and trainer work hard on teaching me new skills and giving me structure and boundaries. I walk with a loose leash, although i prefer off leash now that I have worked hard on my recall, I am e collar trained, muzzle trained, I know multiple commands, and will work for food. I don’t mean to brag but I am extremely smart and learn very quickly!
I enjoy toys that provide mental stimulation and I'd love a yard of my own for my zoomies. But if you'll take me to the park, I love that too! I even have my own social media @CadeTheBulldog ! Check out all my awesome adventures!

All I really want is a caring and patient pawrent or family who will love me for who I am and take me on all sorts of adventures, even better if you have previous American Bulldog experience. Can i be your snugglebuddy furever?


**We have adopted many dogs to out-of-area, state, and even international homes! We usually require that the approved applicants come to meet their new dog in Los Angeles and transport them home. Most of our out of area families make a fun road trip of it!

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.
