Slim came to us from a owner whom could no longer keep her because he had 2 small children and didn't want to "deal" with her anymore. He had never taken her to a vet, obviously breed her several times and she was flea infested. We hope to give her a better life then she had before. She is suprisingly heartworm negative, housetrained and good with children. Per the owner she is ok with other dogs but "does the charge thing with other dogs". I assume that means she runs at them and barks. Since she has lived most of her life as an only pet lets keep her as the only pet in her new home. She is very affectionate with people and children! Won't you consider giving her a forever home?

 

Volunteer Update 9/25: since Slim has been with us we have found her to be very good with other dogs. I do feel she could live in a home with other dogs! She is a bit older and is very laid back so lets give her a home with a calmer enviroment!

Foster Update: 11-21-2010

Slim has been with me at my home now for a week.  She has been very good with my other dogs. She is very clean in the house and crate.  Slime has not been distructive in any way her favorite game to play is rub my belly.  She sleeps through the night on the couch or chair.

She is vocal at feeding time.

She loves to go for walks and rides in the truck.

Slim is a great girl she seems to prefer women to men.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, Although the English Bulldogs appearance can be somewhat intimidating, it is among the gentlest of dogs. Just the same it will see off any intruder, and few would risk a close encounter with a dog brave enough to bait a bull. It is described as a very affectionate and dependable animal, gentle with children, but known for its courage and its excellent guarding abilities. Bullheaded and stubborn, this breed can be very persistent. They do not give up easily. Bulldogs are very much a peoples dog seeking out human attention and loving every bit it can get!! A lot of human attention is required for the breed's happiness. Some English Bulldogs can be a bit dominating and need an owner who knows how to display strong leadership and understands alpha canine behavior. A Bulldog who understands it's *place* in the human pack, is nice to, and reliable with all people. This breed is good with family pets, but some can be scrappy with strange dogs. When Bulldogs are young, they are full of energy, but slow down as they get older. They snore very loudly, and most have drool and slobber tendencies. Today's bulldog has a very different temperament from those of his ancestors. The breed is descended from the ancient Asiatic mastiff, but its development took place completely in Great Britain. The name bulldog, which is medieval in origin, refers not only to the robust look of a little bull, which this aggressive dog has, but also to the power with which this dog attacked bulls in arena combat before that practice was prohibited by law in the nineteenth century. The English Bulldog is good for apartment life. They are very inactive indoors and will do okay without a yard. This breed is an indoor dog. Bulldogs do best in temperate climates as the breed can chill easily in cold weather and have trouble cooling off in very hot weather. They have an average life span of 8 years. Some live longer while others live shorter lives.
