My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet River - A petite girl that has taken her time deciding on her forever home. This special girl will thrive in an experienced home with older kids (12 +) and a quiet low traffic home as she can take time to warm up to strangers. She enjoys the company of some dogs, but doesn't always like to share her stuff with them. So she may be best as your only fur-child, but a like size male may work, with proper introductions. NO CATS. This silly girl knows most of her commands and loves to show them off to her friends. She pulls some on leash, but walks well on a front clip harness and responds well to confident leadership. She LOVES treats, toys and exploring the outdoors. And she is great in the car. She's the perfect travel or adventure buddy! An application is needed to meet River, or contact terese@fresnobullyrescue with additional questions.

More about this rescue

Fresno Bully Rescue (FBR) is a volunteer-based, non-profit, no-kill rescue and shelter dedicated to rescuing bully breed dogs (i.e. American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, American Bull Dogs, Bull Terriers, etc.). We are here to provide a healthy and loving temporary home while we look for forever homes for our shelter dogs. We are one of the only breed-specific, no-kill rescues with an actual kennel-facility in California. We house over 45 adult dogs at our facility (with many more puppies and adults in foster homes). Our pet adoption program and support is tailored to help find you the best match for your family and start it off right! We are a 501 (c) (3) public charity and all donations are tax deductible.
