Mp's current caretakers say:
He's a friendly dog and a sensitive guy. MP bonds very quickly and strongly to one person or his family. He could be in a home with another dog but he doesn't interact much with other dogs, he's more focused on the human interaction. MP is well behaved in the home and great in the car.

Gregory Isaac, English bulldog
Gregory Isaac is a male English bulldog dog being cared for at Southern California Bulldog Rescue.
He is already neutered, and he has had all his shots.
More from Gregory Isaac:
I'm a rambunctious and energetic young guy, very strong and playful. I need a home with no small kids and owners that are going to be strong leaders and work on keeping me mentally engaged and calm. I would do best in a home as the only dog or one that is able to separate me from other dogs and do slow introductions as I do take some time to warm up to other dogs.

Dotty, English bulldog
Dotty is a female English bulldog dog currently housed at Southern California Bulldog Rescue.
Dotty wants all your attention: She'll need a home free of other dogs. She is spayed and vaccinated.
More from Dotty:
I'm the goodest girl deep down, but I've had a rough life... Sometimes I get startled by loud noises and fast-moving objects so a quiet home would be best and older kids 12+. I'm easygoing and don't ask for much.
