Adopt a English Bulldog / English Bulldog (short coat)

Jett is a 9 year, English bulldog - 

here's what we can tell you about him:

1) he has been dog selective - if they respect when he wants to be left alone and are more on the submissive side then he is going to be a happy camper but ultimately he is pretty picky about his friends, we are looking for a dog free zone - cats that stay out of his business would be okay - he doesn't have much interest in them anyway!

2) he is a SENIOR gentleman - think of your old Grand-dad (or more like Bart Simpson's Grandpa ....yes, more like Grandpa Simpson!).  He's a lovable curmudgeon! He loves a good daily stroll for 20-30 minutes (weather permitting of course)

3) his eyesight and hearing are not perfect - patience may be needed when waking him from sleep or getting used to navigating new places. He does see better than he can hear and gets around his foster home well.  He gets confused where the cookie is though... is it still in your hand???

4) MUST HAVE FENCED POOL - or no pool - because he's a bit rickety with less than perfect vision - we don't want his caretakers to have to fish him out of the pool - that water is COLD right now!

5) no little kids!  Jett would not appreciate little fingers poking and prodding him while he's trying to chill out.  Older, respectful kids are a-ok! Since Jett doesn't hear he will startle if you wake him up suddenly however if you like to jam out till the wee hours of the morning he would NOT report you to the authorities ;)

6) Jett will need his right ear cleaned daily due to years of neglect. If not it get's goopy and gross. (no formal medical terms here). His ear canal has calcified causing a chronic ear infection however he doesn't present any signs of being in pain. His nub is always going with a smile on his face.  He is a perfect gentleman during cleaning too. He just loves all of his new found attention

7) Jett is still learning what it is like to be inside! He spent his life outdoors and while he has adjusted to being inside he is still figuring some things out. That the water bowl will always be full.  That a dog bed is for him and he doesn't need to sleep on the floor. Jett would do best with someone was home all day or would be able to let him out to potty every 4-5 hours.  If you want to take him with you... he LOVES the car!!!

Jett is not perfect.  He's not that young pup that everyone is dying to buy at Christmas time.  We don't have a waiting list for hard of hearing/seeing bulldogs over 5YO.  We are hoping there is someone out there that can open their heart and their home for a sweet man who just needs to rest his bones on a nice pillow in front of the fire (with a firescreen, cuz you know, we don't want to BBQ him)! 

NOW A FEW WORDS FROM JETT:

"My last family treated me like trash - but what I can offer to you as a forever pal is pure treasure! 

I know what you're thinking....

'Forever?  How long is that old timer - aren't you past your sell-by date??'

  Forever may not be very long for me, I have no idea how much time I have left....but
forever in your heart will be a very, very long time.
  Who wouldn't want that kind of forever?"
