I'm looking to find a home for my 8 year old American bully Remi. She has been my world for almost 2 years now. My friend and I found her outside in the rain clearly abandoned back in March 2024. Me and my friend had shared her and my friend surrendered her to the shelter without my knowledge. Before we found her she had already been in and out of the shelter for being abandoned outside more than once. The shelter would not let me seek fostering options for her so I rescued her from the shelter but unfortunately I can not keep her since I have a cat at home that does not get along with other animals. She is the most affectionate dog i've ever met, she wants nothing but love and cuddles! She loves being outside and sniffing every spot she can find. But there is nothing she loves more than snuggling on the couch with anyone she can get her paws on! Remi desperately needs a good loving home where she can get the care she missed out on most of her life. After everything she's been through she still has so much love and affection to give.
