Courtesy post— BCUR does not have this dog. He is in the area of Palm Springs, CA. He is available thru Rescue Lyfe.
Chunk’s foster has reached out to us for help finding his forever home.
Chunk, a resilient 3-year-old Bulldog mix who we rescued from the harsh streets of Coachella Valley, California. Found living outdoors, in extreme 115°F desert heat and covered in ticks and open wounds, Chunk has made an incredible recovery.
Unfortunately, local adoption efforts have been unsuccessful and feel impossible.
❌ Local Adoption Challenges
• Coachella Valley’s older demographic often isn’t equipped for strong, energetic dogs like Chunk
• Brutal desert heat (110°F+) poses serious risks, especially for brachycephalic breeds like Bulldogs
• Summer low season means many potential adopters are away until fall/winter
His foster Alyssa is fully committed to assisting with transport and logistics.
🐾 About Chunk
• Breed: Bulldog Mix (possible Mastiff/Pitbull influences; will have DNA results in 1-2 wks)
• Age: Approximately 3 years
• S*x: Male (Neutered)
• Weight: 61 lbs
• Location: Coachella Valley, CA
• Health:
• Fully vetted and thriving,
• Free of fleas, ticks, parasites, and heartworm
• Comprehensive testing completed: Full CBC blood panel, heartworm test, f***l sample, and ear cytology
• All medical records, lab results, and treatment history available upon request
Temperament & Training
Chunk is a goofy, affectionate, and playful dog with an enormous heart and irresistible charm—everyone who meets him falls in love instantly! He’s very strong and excitable, so he’d benefit from continued training and a strong, experienced owner. He’s mastered “sit” and responds well to “fetch” and “come,” but he will jump and nip when overly excited.
• Housebroken
• Crate trained (sleeps soundly through the night)
• Enjoys a mix of lounging/napping and energetic playtime, especially fetching his ball
• Food, toy, and praise motivated — ideal for training
• Still refining basic manners
• Best suited for an adult-only home (no small children) to avoid accidental nips during excitement
• No aggression toward people
• Dog reactivity unknown; he’d likely thrive as the only pet, though he might coexist with others — further assessment needed
🏡 What Chunk Needs
• A dedicated home with someone physically capable of handling a strong dog in training
• An adult-only environment or one with older, dog-savvy teens
• Owners who’ll embrace his sweet, playful, and relaxed Bulldog personality while providing structure, consistency, and ongoing training
• A much cooler climate to ensure his comfort and health!
🚚 Transport & Support
I’m happy to help coordinate or fund transport to get Chunk to the right place. I can provide:
• Complete vet records, treatment history, lab results, vaccination records, and microchip information
• Wisdom Panel DNA results (pending)
• Supplies including flea/tick medicine, a large bag of food, bio balm, crate, and toys
Chunk is a remarkable dog who’s overcome immense hardship and is now emotionally strong and ready to shower love on his new family.
Please feel free to reply or call for more details.
Thank you for your time and compassion in helping dogs like Chunk find their happy endings.
