Agatha is a 2 year old English Bulldog who is full of spunk and energy! She is a typical bully breed. She demands attention and would like to remain the queen of her castle. 

Likes: swimming!! Her favorite thing in the world is to lounge in the baby pool

Dislikes: taking medicine

Personality: goofy and full of fun! 

Temperament:  Agatha is super submissive to people. She will let you clip her nails, clean her ears, and bathe her with no problem. With other animal she is quite pushy. She loves to play with other dogs and gets along well with them. However, she is a humper and will guard her crate at times.

Energy level: moderate. She loves to play nonstop but needs a human to let her know her limits so she doesn’t overheat. She needs an owner who understands the bulldog breedand will keep her cool and temp regulated especially in warm weather. 

Favorite activities: swimming, playing fetch,  playing with other dogs and toys!

Good with cats, dogs, and kids over 6?: good with dogs, cats unknown, older children only 

Not good with: Agatha loves dogs but would probably not do well with another pushy dog. She likes being the boss and we can’t see her giving up that position easily. She will not be placed in a home with other same sex bully breeds. 

Housetrained: making progress 

Crate trained: yes! She loves her crate and doesn’t make a peep when she is crated 

Challenges: Agatha grew up in the mill so she is still adjusting to being a pet. She is learning how wonderful life can be but needs assistance with leash walking.

Any Medical issues? Agatha will need to be spayed when she is over this heat cycle 

What would be the best kind of home? Agatha needs a home who is familiar with the bulldog breed and will clean her facial wrinkles daily. She would love to live with another dog but would do best with one that will not challenge her. She would probably enjoy being an only dog as well since she loves attention so much. 

Fostered in Williamsport, PA.
