My 11 year old Chow Mix, Ashley, had just been put down after unsuccessful surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her jaw. I cried myself to sleep for 2 weeks. My son, then 17, had always wanted a bulldog and asked me to consider a puppy. I searched on Petfinder and found a 3-month old female American Bulldog mix cutie in the Scottsdale, Alabama shelter. I, however, was in Johnson City, Tennessee....many miles away! I contacted the shelter and made arrangements for adoption but had to wait a week till she could be spayed. The shelter workers were very excited about Halo coming to Tennessee to a new home and kept me informed of her health and happiness while I waited to get her. Fortunately for us, my baby brother lived in Chattanooga, about an hour away from the shelter in Alabama. Andrew went down and picked this sweetie up and brought her in to us the next weekend. We named her Halo. I fell in love with her monster paws, floppy jaws, sweet amber eyes and soft pink belly. She is a "frisbee queen" who will chase and bring back a frisbee as many times as you will throw it. She loves a good ragbone tug-of-war, belly rub and fresh raw beef bones. She will be 6 this September. She is absolutely wonderful, well-minded, VERY loving and energetic, a super watchdog and LOVES people and other dogs. She has been a blessing and best friend for years now. She has been an awesome addition to our family and will be loved and cherished for many years to come!
