Waffles - English Bulldog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Morristown, Vermont

Hi my name is Waffles! I just arrived to NCAL and the staff are still getting to know me. Please check back in soon for more information!

Waffles is a resilient, loving dog who has made an incredible recovery after surviving as a stray throughout her pregnancy and giving birth just days after being rescued. Foster describes her as a quiet, laid-back "couch potato" who enjoys sleeping, snuggling, and spending time with her people. She is mostly house-trained, sleeps through the night in her crate, rides calmly in the car, and has not shown any fears, sensitivities, handling issues, or aggressive behaviors. Waffles is affectionate without being overly demanding, enjoys cuddling on the couch, and is described as a "Trooper, Huggable, and Silly" companion.

Waffles has demonstrated exceptional social skills in foster care, living successfully with five dogs ranging from 15 to 45 pounds as well as two cats without any negative interactions. Her play style is calm, respectful, and low-key, making her an excellent fit for a relaxed household and potentially a home with other pets. She walks nicely on leash, is learning commands, and knows "back." The only minor management need noted is that she tends to eat quickly and benefits from a slow feeder or puzzle bowl. Overall, Waffles is a gentle, well-mannered dog who has overcome a difficult past and is now ready for a loving home where she can continue enjoying the comfort, security, and companionship she deserves.

My adoption fee includes vaccinations, a microchip, and I am spayed/ neutered.

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.

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.
