Jonathan

My story

Meet Jonathan Lovable Sweetheart Bulldog Mix Some dogs break your heart a little before they fill it completely. That’s Jonathan. Jonathan has been through more than any dog should. He came to us in July 2023 after being hit by a car—alone, injured, and scared. His X-rays showed a painful pelvic fracture, and he struggled to walk. But despite it all—despite the pain, the confusion, the constant challenges—Jonathan never gave up. He healed. He loved. He wagged his tail and leaned in for pets like he’d never been let down. And then, when things were finally looking up, his adopter had to return him—not because of anything he did wrong, but because life got in the way. Now Jonathan is back with us, and he’s trying again. He’s holding onto hope. And we are too. When he arrived with us our wonderful vets got started on treating his eye condition (cherry eye) and significant hair loss from a possible allergy. Jonathan is pure gold in a wrinkly bulldog package. He’s goofy, gentle, and affectionate. He snores like a freight train and melts into your lap for cuddles. He’ll zoom across the room when the mood strikes or splash with joy in a kiddie pool like a pup seeing water for the first time. He adores people and gets along well with other dogs. He’s currently on a vet-directed plan to help him heal his skin and feel his best again, but what he truly needs is a foster home—a place to rest, to recover, and to finally be safe. Jonathan has been brave for so long. Now he just needs someone to be brave for him. Will you give him the soft landing he’s been waiting for?
