Meet Parkland:

Parkland is everything that you love about the bulldog breed! He is super sweet cutie and a big lovebug.  He cannot be close enough to you. He loves car rides and his favorite spot is touching his head to yours or his head on your shoulder. Parkland will show you all his “tricks” for a cookie. He likes to sleep in your arms or right next to your head. If you throw a ball he will run after it and sometimes even pick it up. He turns into a professional whiner if it goes under the couch and he needs you to be the one fetching! He’s done well meeting almost all other dogs so far. During one recent dog meet, he became overbearing and pushy. He does fine living with his canine housemates who are older and not really into playing or much interaction.  Parkland seems just fine with that. His desired target of attention is humans! He is so happy to be laying right next to or sitting so close to them. Parkland lives with cats and dog-savvy cats would do fine.
Parkland is a quiet, good boy who wins hearts of unsuspecting humans. He must have a superpower in that adorable big noggin because one gaze from those deep, gentle eyes and you are a goner! You’ll be buying matching collar and harness sets before you can say – Freedom Harness!  So, if you love and appreciate the stubborn, quirky, silly, lovable, friendly, affectionate, expressive, and loyalty of the bulldog, then don’t let Parkland get away!
