🚨 SCHEDULED FOR EUTHANASIA 07/08 🚨

Austin has this quiet way of locking eyes with you that makes it feel like everything else disappears for a second. He doesn’t look away, just steady, focused, almost like he’s trying to understand what’s going on around him and where he fits into it.

He shares a kennel with William, the very fearful boy, and somehow in the middle of all of that stress and noise, Austin still holds onto this calm, observant energy. He’s young, about a year old, and just sitting there waiting while the days pass him by.

It’s hard to understand how a dog this striking and aware is still overlooked. Please share him everywhere. He deserves a chance to leave this kennel alive.

I was doing okay after we lost him but today 2 seemingly strangers noticed me walking just 1 dog and started talking about Chance. I ugly cried in the street.

Sorry im just sharing with the world this absolute beauty. I had never considered an American bulldog. But im so happy we saw him at rescue and decided we would take the plunge. He was the absolute best boy, just a big ol goof. Everyone loved him.

I was just walking the lil dog yesterday when 2 different people came up to say "only walking 1 where's the big lad" cue me just bursting out in an ugly cry!!

I hope it gets easier than this because I feel broken. Miss you so much Chance, thanks for being the best 1st dog anyone could have asked for!

Looks like Gracie Mae belongs in this sub?

We happened to walk into PetSmart a little over a month ago, as a shelter was situating their puppies and dogs. She was the shy one of her and her two siblings - more on the quiet side, and still is until she REALLY needs your attention ^_^

She's a super smart and sweet girl - really coming into her own. We think she's around 5-6 months currently. The DNA test is estimating about 68 pounds (just curious if it's bulky 68, or a tall 68) lol

Anyway, just wanted to share a few of her fun / sweet pictures.
