Mama is such an amazingly sweet dog. She can be timid for the first 30 seconds when she meets someone, but once she knows you want to be her friend, she's all in! She loves playing with other dogs and she was a wonderful mama to her babies. She would love to have a dog buddy but she could also be an only dog. She walks wonderfully on the leash and she's incredibly smart. She is young and still has a lot of puppy behaviors. She can be mouthy and may chew gently on your hand when playing. We are working on her training and correcting this behavior. She also knows how to sit on command. We are working on house training her since she has never lived inside. She has taken to being an indoor dog very quickly and she's glad her days of starving on the streets are over. She walks wonderfully on a leash and rides in the car like a pro. Her fur is like satin and it is getting silkier and silkier as she gains weight and has finished nursing her pups. She's finally getting the nutrition she needs. She will continue to thrive in a loving home.

History:
Mama was found as a pregnant stray running loose with the daddy. Daddy was caught and taken to Animal control and Mama built a cubby and a wonderful person's backyard where she could have her babies. She had 8 beautiful babies That she nursed and kept safe. We have found homes for all of them. Unfortunately daddy was put to sleep at the pound and we're keeping Mama safe And now that her babies have homes and she's done nursing We want to find the best home possible

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.

We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.

The American Bulldog is a powerful and athletic breed known for its strong build and confident demeanor.

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 American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff, is a medium sized, muscular breed known for its loyalty and courage. Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions. With a distinctive short coat and strong build, American Staffordshire Terriers are often misunderstood due to their past as fighting dogs, but they are actually loving and playful pets when raised in a nurturing environment. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.
