Meet Babette, a beautiful 4-year-old American Bulldog who is discovering that life can be pretty wonderful when you have soft beds, cozy blankets, squeaky toys, and lots of people to love. 🤍

When Babette first arrived at her foster home, she wasn’t quite sure what to make of all the comforts around her. She preferred lying right on the floor rather than on a dog bed. But it didn’t take long for her to figure things out! Within a day, she upgraded herself to blankets, and now she happily lounges on her bed, enjoys snuggling in the recliner, and considers her kennel one of her cozy spots, too. Clearly, she has developed excellent taste.

Babette has also made some pretty impressive strides in confidence. At first, she needed to see or feel her person constantly and would howl if she couldn’t. These days, she’s much more comfortable relaxing on her bed while her people go about their day. She’ll occasionally follow along to see what’s happening, but she’s learning that she doesn’t have to be attached at the hip to feel secure.

And Babette LOVES people! She was absolutely thrilled at her first vet visit and seemed convinced that every single person there had come specifically to meet her. She was ready to greet everyone and make new friends, proving that once Babette knows she’s safe, she is more than happy to share her love with the world.

She’s also discovering her playful side! Babette recently learned that squeaky toys are pretty fun—although apparently they are even more fun when you can completely dismantle them in about sixty seconds. Consider that her official review of squeaky toys: five stars for entertainment, zero stars for durability. 😂

Babette is a bit of a late riser and would like to formally lodge a complaint about the 6 a.m. start time. She’ll get up, take care of business, and then voluntarily head right back into her kennel for some much more reasonable morning sleeping. Clearly, she understands the importance of a good work-life balance.

Babette is still getting comfortable with her new routine and figuring out what she likes. She’s currently a little particular about her food, but happily accepts a bit of cooked sweet potato mixed into her meal. She’s also continuing her medicated baths as her skin care routine progresses.

Babette has already come such a long way, and watching her discover new comforts and confidence has been wonderful. She’s a sweet girl who is learning to relax, enjoy her surroundings, and simply be a dog. These days, that means cozy beds, recliner snuggles, squeaky-toy destruction, morning naps, and enthusiastically greeting every human who might possibly be there to admire her.

Babette is ready for a forever home where she can continue settling in, soaking up love, and enjoying all the cozy spots—and wonderful people—she can find. 🐾
