My story

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

Meet Wilbur : The Goofy Gentle Giant Ready to Steal Your Heart!



Wilbur is a Miami-Dade Animal Services (MDAS) foster survivor who’s finally getting his chance to shine. This handsome American Bulldog is 70 pounds of love, laughter, and loyalty. His one true wish? To be your best friend and shadow — you’re the center of his world.



Wilbur has a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s goofy, affectionate, and a total ham for belly rubs. He loves his lick mats, tries to rule the roost (with charm, of course), and will keep you smiling with his silly antics.



Thanks to the care of his incredible foster mom, Wilbur has blossomed, day by day shedding the stress of his long shelter stay and revealing the sweet, soulful pup he truly is.



Bonus: Wilbur comes with FREE professional obedience training! We want to make sure this big boy has the best manners to match his big heart. The training is offered for the south florida area only. 



Ideal home:





  • Another dog his size (he plays best with similar-sized pals)




  • No cats, please




  • Kids over 13 years old





    • House preferred for space



      A yard for playing! 







Wilbur is ready to love hard and live happy. Could your home be the one he’s been waiting for?

Likes/Dislikes:



Wilbur may be a total attention-seeker, but he’s also learned how to chill. Whether he’s lounging on the couch or relaxing in his own space, he’s happy to simply be near his people while they go about their day.



He’s a joyful, curious pup who loves his toys — especially lick mats, Benebones, Kongs, and puzzle treat games that make him think. His brain loves a challenge, and his heart loves a good cuddle.



Since leaving the shelter, Wilbur has made huge strides. He’s thriving in a home environment and has settled into a routine with his foster mom that gives him structure and comfort. Any transition will be  stressful for him, so we recommend keeping a similar routine in place and using his crate as a safe, calming space during the adjustment period.



Wilbur was a tester dog at the shelter and is very neutral, he currently lives with a Boston terrier and they have no issues hangin out, just make sure slow intros are adhered too 



Patience, love, and belly rubs will go a long way — and Wilbur will reward you with loyal companionship and his signature goofy grin.



Wilbur will need time to destress with his transition, and alot of patience. Wilbur does tend to jump up (training should cure this behavior) and Wilbur does want to single handily rid any neighborhood of their ducks or chickens. 



 



Toys: puzzles, kongs, benebones, rope toys, lick mats
Other Animals: preferred only dog, or similar dog size
People/Kids: loves people, and any attention from visitors, we recommend a slow intro 
Car Rides: gets excited, needs to be crated
Separation: totally happy in his crate, must be crated when humans are not home!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee is generally based on the dog's age and provides for neutering or spaying, all required shots, heartworm testing (we endorse "the new moxie-doxy" treatment for heart worms).

It is our expectation & a requirement that heartworm preventative be continued as well as any required vet visits after the pet is adopted.

If for some reason a match isn't made the first time around and you are approved, we will keep your application on file for the next opportunity to arise. Our primary goal is to place a dog in the most suitable environment, based on the animal's individual needs and its temperament. The commitment is lifelong and the Boston's interests are always foremost.

More about this rescue

All breeds have their own particular needs and rescued pets often have special requirements as well, very often in want of medical care, often lacking nourishment and kindness, and often expensive to rehabilitate.

Because we have had Boston Terriers for many years, we are very familiar with their habits, peculiarities and their special needs.

We operate across the southeast under the auspices of the Boston Terrier Rescue Network. We share information and resources in all of the USA with affiliated Boston Rescues.
