- Welcome to American bulldog rescue, a place where displaced bully breed dogs can seek shelter while waiting for that special someone to give them a forever home. We bring dogs into our family of volunteers that have been in the most desperate of circumstances. Many times these dogs come to us with medical needs that they’ve had to live with, sometimes causing pain and impairments. We depend on people who care to lend a helping hand, or perhaps donate financially to the various needs of the many dogs in our care. The winter can be a particularly rough time with dogs having to be subjected to living outside dealing with the harshness of the elements. If you’re here looking to adopt or you’d like to foster, we would be happy to assist. We need applications for both to be filled out which are provided here on our site. If you’d like to make a donation you can do so by clicking on the link on our page here. Caring for a dog in need is a rewarding gesture on so many levels. The dogs sometimes require a little extra TLC in the beginning, but it doesn’t take long before they settle into a routine. In my experience I’ve come to realize that they are simple beings that don’t require much at all. Feed them to nourish their bodies and give them the energy to play, love them, for they will love you back more than you could ever have imagined possible. P.S. routine veterinary care also a must!
“I watch my dogs. They throw themselves into everything they do; even their sleeping is wholehearted. They aren’t waiting for a better tomorrow or looking back at their glory days. Following their example, I’m trying to stick to the present.” – dog quote by Abigail Thomas, A Three Dog Life

We Need Foster Homes:
Fostering a dog for a rescue group requires commitment. Foster families must be willing to invest time, attention, TLC and offer a safe environment for a dog who is in need. Aside from the day-to-day schedule of feeding, exercise and grooming, some additional responsibilities may be required. Placing a dog in a foster home allows us to assess the dog’s personality and determine the type of permanent home we should be looking at for that particular dog. The foster parent provides love, attention, some basic training (which we help with), and a regular report on how the dog is doing. We are always in need of foster homes because the bottom line is the more foster homes we have available, the more dogs we can help.” American Bulldog Rescue provides food (if needed), supplies and take care of all the medical needs and veterinary costs. You just need to give it a try and you will be hooked! It’s the most rewarding experience to know that you helped a homeless dog find a fantastic family!

URGENT FL: Sweet and scared Tati must be out of boarding by the 25th.She needs a wonderful, loving and patient family (no cats/small dogs) to show her that she can trust and love humans.She’s had a horrible short life and lived in a cage in a garage for her entire life.Her sister Ruby was adopted by a kind and loving and patient family and she is now the best dog. She was house trained in two weeks.Please let me know if you or anyone you know can foster her.Thank you to:
For Giving her a big first step! |
 |
Florida: Princess Ruby is such a girly girl and loves attention. She loves to give you her right paw, just because. Ruby loves to get her babies and toys and bring them to your lap to play. She will trot daintily to get them and then bounce, got it and very daintily will bring it back t you. Ruby is especially fond of fluffy stuffed animals. She will baby and nuzzle, but sadly this will lead too the demise of the toy as she continues to destroy it, so supervise please. She loves her daily walks and long car rides where she will sit in the seat like a little human just looking out the window. This is very, very important: |

What can you say about a boy who is gentle, playful, loyal, a faithful companion – what you can say is his name is Bruiser. We’ve been fostering him for approximately 2 months, and in that time he has become a much loved part of our herd. He loves to play with the nine other dogs, both ours and fosters, has some curiosity about the cats, and thinks Priss (the pig) is another dog. Any two-legger (human) he has met, he has greeted with a wag of the tail and the hope of a pat on the head – I have yet to meet another dog with such a gentle soul. |
 |
PA: Sweet Pea is an 8 month old angel who loves other dogs and adores everyone she meets. She would like a family with a male dog to play with and someone to train her how to be a perfect lady. She is gentle and submissive. |

Florida: Gabi was an owner surrender in North Carolina- Gabi flew ti FL with the help of very generous pilot! Gabi is a very healthy, playful dogue who loves people and gets along well with the 3 other dogs here, but now we believe she loves all the attention, so she may be best as an only dog. She is not fond of felines- at all!. She is 3 years old, spayed, up to date on her shots, HW-, on HW preventative, micro-chipped and crate and house trained. She is a beautiful girl with a HUGE personality, she is such a character and will make one lucky family very happy they adopted her. She is a lot of fun to have around and is such an easy going girl. Please fill out an adoption application if you’re interested in adopting Gabi. |

FL: Quincy is a wonderful Ambassador for American Bulldogs. He loves everyone! He is approx. 5 years old and very lucky to be alive! He was down to the last hour (before being euthanized) before being saved by 2 very wonderful women. He’s is neutered and vaccinated and ready for his very own family. Quincy is a total mush pot and very affectionate. He is great with other dogs and children over 7. He is the perfect gentleman in his foster home and doesn’t need to be crated. He will simply wait for his human to come home. Quincy is camera shy so it’s difficult to take good pictures of him. |
 |
PA: Miss Cindy Lou Who Cindy is waiting for a Dog savvy family that wont leave her home alone too much. People that are familiar with how this breed’s health is maintained with high quality diet, supplements, grooming and light exersize. Cindy would do best in a home with a comparable size male dog that is calm, submissive in nature. She enjoys the company of dogs and actually opens up faster with other dogs around. It looks like she watches how another dog interacts with new people to show her if everything is okay with them. Trust worthy humans are still new to her. She can be bossy and jealous (with other dogs) at times and would not be a match with a dog that challenges her. She lives happily with two male dogs in her foster home, who let her be the queen. Also a home with no kids is standard practice with adult dogs with no known history. Cindy can get rough during play and mouthy when very excited. This means no plans for kids in her lifetime. |
 |
PA: Rufus! Ru, Rufish, Rutitude…; Everyone who meets him falls in love with his big mushy face. He stops traffic– literally 3 different people have pulled their cars over and got out to meet him! You can’t help but smile when you look at him. He lives with a female pit bull and they get along great . We also had a visiting dog for a week that Rufus enjoyed. He has met a bunch of other dogs on our walks and is fine. Rufus does need a proper introduction to dogs though—which is really simple: you just need to walk few blocks next to a new dog and then he’s fine. Rufus has been our easiest foster: he’s completely housetrained, doesn’t chew a thing, easy to bathe, takes treats gently. He is smart too—he learns things very quickly. He sits and waits for his food until we say ‘take it’. Rufus likes a good walk, but after that ishappy to lay down at your feet for hours. He’s an all around great guy! |

FL: My name is Toby and I’m staying with my fabulous foster family in Cape Coral, Florida! I was rescued out of a shelter in Miami but I don’t remember how I ended up there. I am about 1.5 years old and I live in a foster home with 2 furry friends. I weigh around 73lbs and I like to play, run outside, fetch, go on walks and cuddle. Since I am still a curious puppy I love to chew on bones and toys and take naps. I am learning my house manners very quickly and I’m potty trained. I love my crate and feel safe in it when my foster parents are at work. Since everyone says I’m so stinkin’ cute and I am so nice with strangers and I listen very well, I know it won’t be long until I find my forever family. I know how to sit on command, I love to go on car rides and enjoy a nice warm bath from time to time. I can’t wait to find my forever family and make them smile and laugh at my cute personality. |
 |
FL: Linda is approximately 2 years old and is spayed, vaccinated and ready for her forever family. If you want a best friend for life, you’ll get it with Linda or Linnie as I call her. She just loves to be loved and rest her head on your chest. She is very affectionate. Linnie is beautifully house trained! She will play like a puppy if you have a toy to play with her and loves to go outside with you and waits for her cue to go back in . |
 |
Florida: Kayde is 5 years and old spayed. She weighs 60-65 lbs and is just the sweetest and funniest dog. She is very loving with everybody and everything. She gets along with all children and all pets. She loves her treats and will sleep or sit on the couch with you, if you allow her too. Otherwise, she lays on her bed. The famiy that adopts Kayde will be very lucky to have her. She is just so sweet. AND Kayde LOVES the pool. |

PA: Hello my name is Valentine; my foster family calls me “V” for short. I am an eight month old female American Bulldog/Boxer mix. I have the prettiest big brown eyes to match my white and brown brindle coat. The first few months of my life has been rough. am quite shy little girl who loves to roll around on my doggie bed, chew on doggie bones, play with my toys, and sleep. Other dogs make me really happy! Per my foster Mom I am a quick learner I am working on my house training, I am getting used to my dog crate and I walk well on the leash. I have no food or toys aggressions. I am up to date on my shots, sprayed and microchip. I currently live with a small dog and two cats which I am quickly getting use to. |
 |
PA: Pudge is an adorable AB pup, approx 4-5 months old. Although Pudge is completely deaf and mostly blind, this doesn’t stop her!!! She loves to play and cuddle and does an excellent job navigating her surroundings. She loves other dogs and is going great with house training. Please consider adopting this wonderful girl!She will bring a lot of joy to your family! |

MD: Here’s the big, precious Gus boy. He came to us abandoned and emaciated. After some B12 shots to help him absorb his food better, he started putting on weight and his personality started shining through. And what a personality it is! He greets you with cute noises and excitement and will flop down for a belly rub. For a Bordeaux, he’s pretty spunky but quickly calms down. Sometimes he is so overcome with wanting to show how much he loves you and forgets his size. He’s very obedient and fully house trained. He loves cuddling yet is also independent and sometimes prefers to simply hang out in his crate on his own. He loves his foster sister and they play like gladiators and does well with other dogs. He’s great with our two cats. Every now and then he likes to say a close hello so dog-savvy cats would be best, but for the most part he ignores them. He hasn’t had much exposure to kids but he was OK meeting my 18-month old niece. When she walked by him and planted a kiss right on his nose, he stayed sitting all on his own. (I think he was surprised by the whole experience.) He’s really good at meeting strangers but may get a little nervous if he’s challenged too soon. Nervous meaning he’ll bark to let the person know he’s uncomfortable. He will alert you of people too close to his property but responds to “no” to stop barking. He’s a good exercise companion, even for long walks but he doesn’t need them. He shares toys really well and is a neat eater. Gus’ goal in life is to make you happy. Whether that means keeping you safe, being next to you or giving you some space, he’s aiming to please. Gus is estimated to be 2-4 years old. He’s in good health but his family will want to keep an eye on his weight, as he may need the occasional B12 shot if he starts losing weight. He shows no obvious signs of abuse but does show he’s thankful for being in a safe, loving home. He will be available for adoption at the end of March. |

PA: Georgina and Frederica are a special pair. Georgina can’t see and Frederica is Georgina’s seeing eye pal. They are related somehow but we are not sure exactly. Frederica is about 6-7 months and Georgina is just a little over a year. Both girls are totally house trained and quite polite, dainty and playful. They were surrendered by the same family who were in tears at the shelter when they had to leave them but they had lost their home. They are not crated at all in their foster home, they respect baby gates. They share everything : water, food bowls, toys and the same dog bed. Both girls are about 45 pounds so if you were here looking for a 90 pounder these are your girls!They are nice to every dog and cat they meet! |

Full of Thanks!
Nov 17As I sit here on Thanksgiving morning snuggled up with my dog on the sofa trying to keep warm on this crisp fall morning, it occurs to me that we are blessed. My rescued dog and I have found each other and we are both feeling pretty lucky! I’m also feeling thankful that my foster dog of four months has been happily placed in her new forever home right before the holidays. Life is amazing! We at ABR would like to extend a great big thanks to all of the wonderful people who cared enough to adopt a rescue dog. You are special people who have found a very special gift to enjoy. We also want to thank anyone who has contributed financially to help care for our furry angels, we are so grateful for your help. Thank you to all of our volunteers who help spread the word, donate their time selflessly, and open their homes to a foster dog so that another dog can be saved! We want to continue to encourage many more people to consider supporting the rescued dogs. We are always so grateful for any help offered, and the dogs are thankful too! These dogs are saved from terrible situations and yet they still want to trust that we humans will care for them. They are often visibly fearful and reluctant to trust, but you can see in their eyes the desire to be loved. This holiday season we ask that you please consider supporting ABR, the dogs depend on our help. Please spread the word during this time of puppies being purchased for gifts, DON’T SHOP….ADOPT! Thank you.
Settle down, it’ll all be clear. Don’t pay no mind to the demons they fill you with fear. The trouble it might drag you down if you get lost, you can always be found. Just know your not alone cause I’m going to make this place your home. Lyrics from “Home” by Phillip Phillips

Florida: Mama is the wonderful mother of Nemo, Chopper, Polar B, Aggie and Pippa. Mama was actually given a name but everyone just calls her Mama and she seems to know that as her name…lol She is approximately 2 years old and American Bull Dog/Mix. Shes spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on all of her shots. Mama weighs 101 lbs and is housebroken. She needs some exercise to get her girlish figure back. Mama gets along great with other dogs and loves kids (not sure about cats). She loves to go outside and run, play tag with other dogs, and chase a ball. She is very loyal and loves to be with her humans. Mama is a very affectionate girl, and just a real sweetheart! |

Florida: PeeWee loves other dogs and needs a foster home! |

Florida: Mack is a stunning Dogue de Bordeaux at 3 years old and weighing in at 190lbs. He is searching for the right family that can give him the time and attention that he deserves and longs for. He will require a family that has experience and is familiar with Molosser breeds to work with him on his socialization needs; with time, patience and training he will be an amazing boy. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and house trained. Mack loves to have his ears scratched, belly rubbed, daily brushing and his bath time. His favorite toy is a ball that he loves you to throw but doesn’t like to drop it so he can continue playing. Because of his size he tires out very easily and would benefit with small daily walks. Due to his big boy size he will not be re-homed with small children or small animals. |
 |
Florida: Bo and Sadie are approximately 2 years old and have lived together their entire lives until be dropped off at a kill shelter by their owner that could not care for them. They were scared to death at the shelter and Bo was losing weight. Thank God they had a group of people pulling for them to help get them out before they were euthanized via heart stick. They are spayed/neutered and vaccinated and ready for their forever home. We would prefer to keep them together because they’re so in love with each other. We will separate if two wonderful homes come for them. Please consider adopting these two so they can have a forever family. |

Maryland: Beautiful 4 month old Lattie came to ABR when her previous owners dropped her off at a Maryland shelter – with a broken elbow – to be euthanized. Just 3 months old. ABR just couldn’t let that happen! We scooped her up and rushed her off for some much needed medical attention (surgery that required two pins and a screw), and a lot’s and lot’s of TLC. Lattie’s a happy go lucky tomboy that keeps up with the best of ‘em (no girly-girl here)! She’s a fearless explorer that loves belly rubs, chewing on Nylabones, chasing after her ball, running and loves to play, play, play! Lattie loves people and loves attention and affection. |

FL: Betty is a big, beautiful, speckled puppy who is evolving into a well-rounded young lady. She is approximately 7 mos. old and like many people who are interesting and captivating, Betty had a rocky start. She was abandoned outside of an asphalt company in Miami and was found covered in oil with two other older dogs – a male and female – who seemed to be friends. Some wonderful, dog-loving people in Miami took them in and bathed them, and Betty found a home in foster. In her foster home she is a sweet, innocent girl who takes gulps from the cup of life. She loves other dogs and enjoys playing with the 5-year-old male Am. pit bull and 5-year-old female AB in her foster home. She’s learning some basic commands and house manners and is waiting patiently for her dream home. She’s housebroken and walks well on a leash. She’s got big paws and a wonderful spirit. She would probably be happiest to go to a home with another dog. She’d be happy to teach your old dog some new tricks. |
