Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🖤 Meet Bishop Oreo 🖤
2-Year-Old Male | American Bulldog | ~75 lbs | Neutered | Fully Vetted
Bishop Oreo is the definition of a big dog with a big personality — sweet, squishy-faced, and built like a linebacker. This handsome hunk was a shelter favorite who narrowly escaped euthanasia due to kennel stress. After a whirlwind of adoption, surgery, and a rough return, Bishop is now safely in our care and looking for the right kind of home to help him succeed.
💪 What Bishop Needs:
Bishop Oreo is not for the average dog owner. He’s still very much a big puppy in a giant, powerful body. He needs structure, consistency, and strong leadership. Think: training, boundaries, exercise, more training, and even more exercise. Both physical and mental outlets are key to his success.
⚠️ Experience Required:
We are looking for an experienced large/strong breed adopter who understands how to set limits with love. He is not aggressive — just unaware of how big, strong, and clumsy he can be. For now, that means:
• No small animals
• No young kids
• No elderly or physically fragile humans
• No first-time dog owners
🐕🦺 What He’s Like:
Bishop is goofy, eager to please, and responds well to direction — when you have his attention. He thrives in a calm but active environment with someone who won’t let him bulldoze his way through life (literally). He enjoys being near his people, doing brain games, going for structured walks, and just being part of the pack.
❤️ With the right leadership and routine, this dog is going to be incredible. He just needs someone willing to put in the work to unlock it.
If you’re strong, confident and committed, Bishop Oreo may just be your ride-or-die best friend.
📍Located in Tampa Bay Area.

Hi, my name is Cecilia Nieves. I am a certified veterinary technician @ Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Services as well as a full time mother. For about a decade now, I have been well involved in the veterinary field and for more than half of those years been actively involved in rescue work as well. I have worked with all kinds of pets and wildlife to even working as a Zookeeper @ Busch Gardens-Tampa.
Our name, AnimalLuvr’s Dream Rescue, comes with a bit of history as well. My mother and I moved to Florida when I was 12yrs old. My wonderful friend, Jenna, helped me create my very first email address. Always knowing I wanted to be in the veterinary field, I searched for animal lover and it had already been taken. Trying to be creative, I spelled it AnimalLuvr and from then on this became my logo and nickname. Being that this is my dream of having a rescue it is pretty self-explanatory.
In 2009 I began working hands on with both domestic and wildlife rescues that arrived to our emergency service in very critical conditions and this quickly made me realize that not only are there a lot of animals out there that need our help but a lot of them are strays that no one claims, confiscated animals and those that the owner either cannot or will not give them the care they need. The Tampa bay and surrounding areas are very lucky to have a hospital like Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Services that opens its doors to those unclaimed animals and care for them when no one else will. I am more than honored to say that Dr. Katy Meyer is not only supportive of my mission and goals but will be assisting us as being one of our wonderful board members!
June 2014 – After a year and a half of lots of invested $, tons of paperwork, calling the IRS at least monthly to follow up and patiently waiting – WE HAVE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED OUR APPROVAL LETTER FOR OUR 501c3 TAX EXEMPTION!!
