Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Chalupa!

Chalupa is a 3-year-old, 57-pound girl with a soft heart and a loving personality that truly shines once she feels safe. In the shelter she can be fairly timid and reserved, but that environment doesn't show who she really is. When she relaxes, Chalupa is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle-she gives the best hugs and happily leans into her person for comfort and connection.

She enjoys getting out to explore and is happy to join you for adventures, but she's just as content curling up on the couch beside you, keeping you warm and cozy while you relax together. Chalupa is housetrained when kept on a routine and settles nicely into home life.

Chalupa has a bit of a free spirit and is quite the athlete. She can easily jump a 4-foot fence, so she will need a tall, secure fence-ideally a privacy fence-or a home where she is leash walked instead of left unattended in the yard.

She has shown some reactivity toward other dogs and may do best as the only dog in the home or with very slow, thoughtful introductions to canine companions.

With patience and a calm home where she can decompress, Chalupa's affectionate and loyal nature truly comes through. For someone looking for a cuddly companion who will share both quiet moments and outdoor adventures, Chalupa is ready to be your devoted sidekick.

As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.

To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!

The Bull Terrier is a distinctive and energetic dog breed known for its muscular build, egg shaped head, and unique personality. Originally bred for blood sports, Bull Terriers have evolved into affectionate companions with a playful and clownish demeanor. Their short, flat coat comes in a variety of colors. While known for their strong will, Bull Terriers are intelligent and loyal, forming strong bonds with their families. Proper training, socialization, and exercise are essential for the well being of this breed.

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.
