Rolex

My story

AVAILABLE TO FOSTER OR ADOPT Rolex is a young adult English Bulldog who was found by a good Samaritan on a sweltering day topping 95 degrees. He was brought to the Animal Assistance League of Orange County in respiratory distress with his tongue hanging out. The AALOC team rushed Rolex to the emergency room, and he recovered quickly. He is a combination of playful and lovable, unruly, and rowdy, loves his people, but thinks he’s in charge, and needs to be the only pet. AALOC has taken great care of this cutie patootie, with airway modification commonly needed with bulldogs to help them breathe better so now he is a very quiet breather! He was neutered and will be going for professional training once his foot is recovered from having a benign cyst removed. Our rescue shelter is outdoors, only with roofing and shades and misters and pools, but this is still not appropriate for flat-faced dogs who can overheat on a 70 degree day. Therefore, we are also looking for potential fosters to care for him until he is adopted. American bulldogs are brachycephalic dogs: breeds characterized by their shortened skulls and flattened faces. They can overheat and over-exert themselves very quickly. A harness must always be used instead of a leash attached to a collar for risk of tracheal collapse. Because of these special needs, a foster/adopter who has experience with brachycephalic dogs is preferred. Please apply to adopt or foster Rolex at www.AALOC.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Rolex and get to know him a bit. Donation of $165 for dog adoption includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip. Applications require a veterinary reference and home visit (in Orange County, CA). For more information on adoption policies visit our dog adoption page at www.aaloc.org. Contact us by e-mail at aaloc@aaloc.org or by phone (714) 893-4393.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rolex, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
