Yookie is wondering where all the people who appreciate a good, beefy bulldog are hiding 🤪

He’s 80 pounds of BAKED POTATO on an ATHLETE’S LEGS. 🥔

3.5 years old. Built like a refrigerator. Moves like a runaway shopping cart. Has the aerodynamic capabilities of a brick.

BIG HEAD. BIG CHEST. THICK NECK. LITTLE BRAIN. 🤝

And his tail??? DOESN’T EVEN WAG SIDE TO SIDE. It goes UP AND DOWN. LIKE A FREAKING PLATYPUS. 😭🦫

💦 WATER. Give this man a kiddie pool and he’s booked and busy. A majestic swamp creature in his natural habitat.

🦴 TOYS. HARD toys only. Soft toys are merely temporary victims and absolutely NOT safe for this industrial-grade shredder.

🏡 SELF-ENTERTAINMENT. Toss some toys in the backyard, fill his pool, and congratulations, you’ve opened a private water park for one unemployed bulldog.

🐶 DOG FRIENDS. Yookie does best with calm, well-socialized dogs, especially the ladies. A thick gentleman with a type. 💅

✅ Potty trained.
✅ Crate trained.
✅ Loves LITERALLY EVERY HUMAN HE MEETS.
❌ Has absolutely no idea he’s 80 pounds.

Yookie is basically everything you love about a big ol’ bulldog. Thick, goofy, enthusiastically committed to his hobbies, and shaped like something that should require a commercial driver’s license.

So if you love your dogs built like a concrete retaining wall with a face that makes bulldog people absolutely FERAL, Yookie just might be your guy.

BULLDOG PEOPLE. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT. 🤝🦛

90 pounds of velcro dog, professional cuddler, and certified good girl. ✨trifecta✨

this spayed belgian malinois raised a whole double digit litter of giant babies, watched every single one get adopted, and somehow still hasn't found her own happily ever after. excuse me, what the actual heck?! it’s been 6.5 MONTHS💔

she's a morning run kinda girl, loves car rides and camping, will absolutely demand belly rubs, and believes personal space is a made up concept. clingy? yes. obsessed with you? also yes. honestly, green flag behavior😭💖

she plays beautifully with other dogs, is ridiculously gentle despite being built like a small horse, sleeps unkenneled like an angel, doesn't counter surf, and her stress poops have officially entered retirement.💅

💘basically, she's gorgeous, affectionate, athletic, dog friendly, and ready to make you the center of her entire universe. your couch will never be yours again, but at least you'll die happy😤

her babies found their people. now it's indy’s turn to be someone's baby🤍

🚨 THE 👖 LITTER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT 🚨

meet capri(tan) and pants(cream and tan), two 3.5 month old bois weighing in at 25 lbs each, with big paws, tiny brains, and absolutely no business being this cute. 🥹 listed as pittie mixes, but we’re lowkey getting collie vibes. pittie? collie? professional cutie? idk babe, we just work here. 🐸💗

these boys are 100% puppy, which means curious little adventurers with occasional nervous system updates when life gets scary. 🌱 they’ve been polite and submissive with their doggy foster siblings, love playing with kids (but can be a LOT for tiny humans), and have shown zero interest in chasing the resident ducks, geese, and turkey. poultry friendly kings??? 🦆👑

cat compatibility is still a mystery because the resident cat is an elderly lady who has chosen privacy and we respect her boundaries. queen s**t. 💅

capri and pants are playful, sweet, and ready for families who can handle puppy energy, training, patience, and the occasional home renovation conducted entirely with their mouths. 🦷✨ they aren’t neutered yet, and while they’re currently fostered together, they can be considered individually. lowkey they’d love their OWN homes💅🏼

so who needs a new bestie? a tiny chaos goblin? a walking serotonin subscription with questionable impulse control? 🐛 your future soulmate might literally be named pants.

adopt capri. adopt pants. adopt both if you enjoy living life on hard mode. please share these little fashion icons and help them find their forever homes. 👖

🐄HEY IT’S HECTOR🐄
hector is a 5.5 year old neutered/chipped/vaxxed pittie mix okay woke king

hector is a quiet, reserved bb who likes to observe the vibes before deciding if you’re worthy of his presence. at first, he might be your shy little shadow, quietly figuring out if this whole living in a house thing is actually safe. but once he realizes he’s home? BABE🥹 the personality drops. he has thoughts, opinions, announcements, and occasionally a neighborhood watch update. yes, he barks. no, he does not have a podcast deal yet👀

his love language is physical touch, specifically being glued to you on the couch like a 65 pound weighted blanket with feelings. snuggles are mandatory. daily couch cuddles are non negotiable. if your love language is personal space, respectfully, this man is not your man. he is looking for someone who understands that being trapped under a sleeping pittie is not a problem, it is a privilege💋

now, do not let his couch potato lifestyle fool you. hector has a secret alter ego, and she is absolutely feral. for at least five minutes a day, the zoomies possess his body, his ears achieve flight, toys are launched into another dimension, and your couch becomes a launchpad for the olympics of goobery🤪

hector does need a little patience, especially when it comes to new environments and car rides. he can be shy and scared at first, so he needs a human who understands the 3 3 3 rule and will let him decompress at his own pace. he is not a microwave meal, babe. trust takes time, and this sweet boy deserves someone willing to give him that. the good stuff happens when he knows he is safe🫶

the plot twist? this handsome little meatball is currently thriving in foster care with 📣dogs, cats, AND kids📣 so if you have room on your couch, patience in your heart, snacks in your pantry, and a willingness to occasionally witness a grown dog turn into a flying potato, hector might just be your soulmate🤞

he is with whatcom feline alliance, and you can apply at their adoption center inside petsmart💖

🧀PARMA the PARMESAN PRINCESS👑

parma is about 2 months old, a pittie dachshund mix, and already conducting herself like she has been lived a couple lifetimes on this earth🫡 we think full grown should be like a schmedium size but who knows that’s the fun w rescue bbs🥰

this lil icon is working on crate training and potty training is going GREAT, which is honestly suspicious because puppies are usually committed to making you question every life choice you have ever made🥲 she has met multiple dogs and played so well with everyone. just immediately out here making friends like she has a packed social calendar and somewhere to be at 7. she is also fantastic with cats and kids because she’s just got it like that🫶

she has done great in the car too, which is wild because this tiny creature has somehow mastered car etiquette while simultaneously stealing her own leash. yes. her own leash.😂 she likes to pick it up and sneak around with it like “is purse” 👜 okay periodt parma💅🏼

and then there are the goldfish crackers.

parma is a thief👀

a tiny, adorable, snack motivated thief.

if you leave goldfish crackers unattended, that is honestly on you🐟

she is also a HUGE fan of binkies, which feels important to document for the historical record. pic for proof😤

her foster family is absolutely obsessed with this girl and we cannot blame them. she is sweet, social, cuddly, hilarious, and just chaotic enough to keep everyone humble💃

AS GOUDA AS IT GETS🧀😋
gouda is approximately 2 months old, 90% baby, 10% felony, and somehow already running her foster household.

pros: she is OBSESSED with her foster’s big american bully. like ma’am, you met him five minutes ago. please respect his boundariezz🙅‍♀️she wants to play. he tolerates her. occasionally they catch them touching and honestly the chemistry is undeniable. we are predicting cuddling by tomorrow🤞

she has an excellent appetite because apparently her love language is snacks. literally same bestie😬 gouda is also a certified cuddle bug. she does not want to be near you. she wants to be ON you🥹 preferably occupying your entire torso. bonus feature: excellent personal space heater for these chilly days💅🏼

cons: the crate is apparently a human rights violation. she said absolutely not. her foster negotiated her release from the tiny prison. tonight they are bringing out the high value treats and hoping she discovers that crate = snacks and not betrayal. i mean the math is mathing😮‍💨

potty training is also a work in progress. today we are sitting pretty at a solid 25% success rate. tomorrow we are shooting for 50% because apparently we have performance metrics now. KPI KPI and all the finance bros go crazy🤑

overall, gouda is a sweetheart, a menace, a little chaos goblin, ykno like ✨pure puppy✨she has pittie energy, dachshund audacity, and absolutely zero respect for personal space. a true diva🫶

⚡️💖ZIGGY ZIGGY💖⚡️he’s 1.5 years old, 93 lbs, fortunately for all of us, extremely rad😮‍💨

he’s a labrador x great dane mix, which means god gave him the legs of a horse, the heart of a lab, and the brain of a man who would absolutely text “wyd” at 1:47 am💀

ziggy is thriving with his foster family on a farm where he’s been casually socializing with poultry, goats, pigs, and other dogs because apparently he has more friends than most of us🥲

he loves to swim, he loves to play, and this absolute legend will throw a stick for himself before yeeting his 93 lb body into the pond to retrieve it🏃‍♂️💨

ziggy is also a certified sweetheart. he’s still building confidence, so he needs someone who understands that beneath all that beef is a sensitive little guy who just needs patience, treats, and reassurance. 🥹

give him a snack and suddenly he’s emotionally available🍖 give him affection and he’s yours. 🥰 give him a pond and he will make questionable decisions. 🌊

basically, ziggy is looking for his person. someone who wants a goofy adventure buddy, professional cuddle bug, part time farmhand, full time menace, and 93 lbs of unconditional love🤞😭🤞
