My story

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

Meet Vanilla! This lovely lady is looking for her forever family, and wants her new people to know these 10 things about her:

1. I am a Boerboel and I am about 3 years old.

2. I am a super social girl that really likes almost everyone I meet.

3. I can get a little jumpy and mouthy when I get excited around new people. I am practicing better canine behavior with the nice people at the Bullpen to correct these issues, and I will need my forever family to continue working with me on this.

4. I think I would do well in a home with children over 7, as long as they weren’t too loud or rambunctious and had some previous experience/training with big dogs.

5. I’ve met lots of big dogs at the Bullpen, and I don’t mind them one bit. I think I would like it if my new home had a male dog over 50lbs for me to pal around with, as long as we were always fed separately!

6. I was in a foster to adopt through the shelter I came from, and I didn’t like the small dog that I was living with, so I got returned. Therefore, I don’t think that a home with small dogs or cats is a good fit for me.

7. The words that best describe me are eager to engage, affectionate, and playful.

8. My favorite things to do are hanging with humans, taking naps, and getting treats.

9. I am housebroken and crate-trained, and am working to improve my leash skills. I also know basic obedience and how to use a dog door!

10. I am fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. Unfortunately, I am heartworm positive, but I’ve started treatment, and will come with all the medicine needed to complete it at my new home.

Ready to give Vanilla the forever home of her dreams? Fill out our Adoption Application, located at www.bullpenrescue.org under the 'work with us' tab.

We highly recommend that our potential adopters fill out an online application as soon as possible, as it greatly expedites the process of finding the right dog for your situation.

Our dogs are available for adoption nationwide but preference is given to adopters willing to do an in-person meeting. Please understand that our dogs are not adopted on a first-come, first-serve basis, but rather we strive for a "perfect placement" so we know that they will not be failed again.
