English Bulldog / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Meet Gopher, an 8-year-old English Bulldog mix weighing in at 45.9 pounds, and officially living his best “retired gentleman with hobbies” life. This lovable guy may be visually impaired, but don’t let that fool you, he navigates the world with confidence, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart. Now that Gopher has settled into a foster home, we’ve learned he’s the ultimate easygoing companion. His favorite activities include supervising your every move, following you from room to room like a devoted little shadow, and offering his signature commentary. He’s quite the talker, though interestingly, not much of a barker. Think more conversationalist than alarm system. Gopher is wonderfully well-mannered. He does great in a crate and sleeps soundly through the night, though his foster thinks he’d likely do just fine with more freedom. He walks nicely on leash, rides like a pro in the car, and doesn’t ask for much in the exercise department. A little yard time and lounging around the house suit him just fine. Socially, Gopher is a gold star. He’s friendly with dogs, men, women, and has done great with young children, including a busy 4-year-old. He seems to genuinely enjoy being part of the action and is always curious about what his people are up to. And perhaps his most unexpected trait? Gopher LOVES bath time. Not tolerates… loves. He’ll happily try to hop in the tub whenever the opportunity presents itself, which is equal parts hilarious and adorable. Gopher would do well in just about any home. While a fenced yard would be a bonus, it’s not a requirement. What he really needs is a person (or people) to love, follow around, and keep tabs on throughout the day. His minimum adoption fee is $100 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
