English Bulldog Dogs Available for Adoption in Belmar, New Jersey

🍪 Meet Cookie – Your Sweetest Treat! 🍪

If you have a sweet tooth, we have a Cookie we think you’ll absolutely love!

Cookie joined MidAtlantic Bulldog Rescue back in September as an owner surrender. Her story broke our hearts—but Cookie wasted no time putting them back together. Despite spending much of her life outdoors and away from consistent love, she immediately showed trust, resilience, and a gentle spirit.

Over the past several months, Cookie has undergone multiple medical treatments (outlined below), and through it all she has remained patient, loving, and trusting. At 6 years old, she’s a sweet, easygoing girl who enjoys attention, car rides, and simply being near her people.

🏡 Cookie’s Ideal Home

✅ Fenced-in yard
✅ Minimal stairs
✅ Someone home often
✅ Daily care (eye drops + facial/tail/paw cleaning – standard bulldog care, but essential for Cookie)

🐾 Could Also Work

☑️ Older children – she loves teens but can get a little jumpy when excited
☑️ Another calm, non-possessive dog – slow introductions required
(Cookie can guard toys/food and may get pushy for attention)

💊 Medical Background
Cherry eye surgery (requires eye drops twice daily)
Spayed, with removal of a low-grade mammary cancer (successfully removed; low risk of return)
ACL tear (may need future treatment but currently mobile with activity management)
History of skin infections & interdigital cysts (now improved; paws must be kept clean/dry)
💕 Personality

Cookie is truly a Sugar Cookie—sweet, gentle, and full of love.
She gets so excited to see her people (especially if she can sniff you first!), loves rolling in the grass, and occasionally bursts into joyful “zoomies” like a tiny bucking horse.

She coexists well with other dogs but is just as happy doing her own thing. While she’s not overly cuddly, she’ll lean in close, rest her head on you, and soak up affection when the mood strikes.

⚠️ Things to Know

🔶 Walks nicely but can pull when excited and reacts strongly to other dogs
🔶 May have occasional “sprinkles” (accidents), though these have greatly improved

Cookie has been through so much and deserves a home where she can finally relax, feel safe, and be loved every single day. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet companion with a little extra personality—Cookie might just be your perfect match. 💛

We know this was a long read, but the more you know the better we can all do to be sure that Cookie lives her sweetest life! If you're interested in adopting her, please fill out an application and email mabdrescue@yahoo.com letting us know you'd like to be considered.

The English Bulldog is a distinctive and beloved breed known for its sturdy build, wrinkled face, and gentle temperament. Originating in England, these dogs are characterized by their muscular frame, powerful jaw, and unique pushed in nose. Despite their tough appearance, English Bulldogs are affectionate, loyal, and great with children, making them excellent family pets. Due to their brachycephalic nature, they may struggle with overheating and breathing issues, requiring attentive care and moderate exercise to keep them healthy and happy.
