About Cade

Heddo! My name is Cade, though I also respond to "Big Stinky!" I'm a 5-year-old, 90-pound American Bulldog who has been patiently waiting for my forever home for four long years! I was rescued by Samson's Sanctuary after being found abandoned in Azusa, California, in April 2022. Despite my size, I have a heart overflowing with love to give. My favorite pastime is sprawling out on the couch, showing off my belly, and indulging in a good nap.

I can be a little cautious around new men, needing some time to warm up and feel comfortable, especially if a female is present. But once I trust you, my loyalty is fierce and unwavering. I love outdoor adventures, whether it's a scenic hike or splashing in water – I enjoy exploring new scents and discovering what's around the next bend. I also have a knack for finding the biggest sticks on our walks, which I proudly parade like a trophy!

I'm an independent fellow but cherish quality time with my people. While I don't need to be in the same room constantly, I do enjoy resting my head on your lap for a good butt scratch. I prefer being petted on my back until I build trust, then head scratches are welcome. I get along well with other dogs my size or smaller, provided they are friendly, but I do tend to chase cats, so a feline-free home would be best. I've also had experience with a baby in my foster home and proved to be gentle and attentive.

I'm highly food-motivated, making training a breeze – just offer a tasty treat, and I'm ready to work! I'm also a great alarm system and will let you know when someone's at the door. Squeaky toys, tug-of-war, bones, and frozen treats are among my favorites. My foster parents and trainer have been working hard on my skills, and I'm proud to say I walk well on a leash (though I now prefer off-leash adventures thanks to my recall training!), I'm e-collar and muzzle trained, and I know multiple commands. I'm a quick learner and thrive on mental stimulation from puzzle toys. A yard for zoomies would be amazing, but park trips are also a big hit! You can even follow my adventures on social media @CadeTheBulldog!

Ideal Home

I'm looking for a patient and caring family who will embrace me for who I am and take me on exciting adventures. Previous experience with American Bulldogs would be a bonus!
