My personality

My story

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

Leo is a gentle old man who has a quiet scratchy chirp for a voice. He is hard of hearing and limited vision in one eye. He has been a stray growing up in an apartment complex where he has been bullied by other cats and likely was hit by a car when he was a kitten. He walks with a limp and has one good eye. He had an infection as a kitten that wasn’t treated so unfortunately he lost vision in one eye because of that. He is litter box trained but would need time to decompress and adjust to life inside. He is friendly either his caretakers and walks with the couples dog. The dog shows no interest in him so he is good with him. He is an old man that just needs a place to retire and rest. He loves windows and would love a covered enclosed catio. He would do best in a home with no children and no rowdy cats or dogs. He needs a retirement home. He just needs a safe quiet clean place with a gentle voice, little pats here & there, not too much fuss, and a cozy spots to sleep.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting a rescue dog we have an adoption application, you can request an application by email. We do request a vet reference if currently have any pets or have recently had one.We do home visits, background checks, and our adoption fee varies from 150-250 depending on dogs age, breed, health, temperament. We are very serious on where our dogs go and ask that you be responsible and financially stable with prefereably a fenced in yard but if not a willingness to walk often. We do have a contract that is legal and binding stating at any time during the dogs life you will not chain or pen it up and if for any reason you do not wish to keep the dog you are to contact us and we will take the dog back.
All dogs are UTD on vaccinations and fixed before adoption.
Adoption Donations vary from dog.. On average pups under 6 months are 125$ -175$, dogs over 6 months are 175$-300$ depending on breed/age/health. All donations go straight back into the rescue dogs or dogs we are currently trying to help that are still on chains or in pens and need vet services.

Go meet their pets

We are run soley by volunteer foster homes, so contact us and we can set up a time for you to meet the rescue you are interested in. Our volunteers and foster homes work full time and have full lives. Let’s set up a time that can work to bring your potential new family member over for a meet and greet! Everyone who lives there needs to be present at meet and greet so all questions can be addressed!

More about this rescue

WE ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO TAKE IN ANY ADDITIONAL RESCUE DOGS. PLEASE CONTACT LOCAL RESCUES TO SEE IF THEY HAVE OPEN FOSTER FAMILIES.PLEASE READ FOR A LIST OF PLACES YOU CAN CONTACT! We recommend Eleos Bully Rescue & Rehab, Adopt A Pit, and Miami Valley Pit Crew. You can also see a list of other pit bull type dog specific (or ANY BREED SPECIFIC DOG) rescues at: animal.rescueshelter.com Courtesy of RescueMe.org! You can also post your dog up for adoption there!

Luv-A-Bulls Rescue, Inc was the first and only pit bull breeds rescue in Montgomery County for 10 years. Fighting against BSL and general ignorance with many hard working, dedicated volunteers. Our Founder retired due to illness and since then 3 former volunteers started responsible bully breed rescues locally! We are proud of the work we have done in rescuing hundreds of abused, neglected, unwanted chained pitties. Our motto and logo is 'Public Education & Responsible Ownership'!!




(Founded in 2006) Luvabulls Rescue Inc is a network of volunteer foster homes dedicated to rescue and rehabilitation of abused, neglected, unwanted dogs and puppies. We specialize in Bully Breeds, ie: Bulldog Breeds, Pit Bull Breeds, Mastiff Breeds, and any mixes of those.
We are a registered state non-profit rescue. We are not a 501c3 so your donation to any of our worst case dogs is not tax deductible. We do not deal in high volume numbers and rescue a few dogs here and there when we have available foster homes. Most of our rescues are from chains, pens, been through torture, starvation, and solitary confinement and have had severe suffering. We also pull dogs from Ohios worst gassing pounds and heartstick pounds and long term fosters are needed due to rehabilitation. We believe all dogs deserve a chance, but especially the ones who have only known suffering and pain.
We MOSTLY provide free COURTESY POSTING and free facebook and online networking to help people who have either found a dog or need to rehome their own dog. We can run applications and do home visits on potential adoptions for your dog free of cost to help ensure these dogs are going to safe and financially responsible homes. Please take advantage of this opportunity to get your dog networked in the right places.
We also educate owners, and the public, on bully breeds, Breed Specific Legislation, and freeing chained or penned dogs. We specialize in dogs but we respect all living creatures and encourage others to do the same by education.
We work with dogs with special needs like; fear,socialization, and food issues when we have openings with the appropriate foster homes who are familiar with rehabilitating dogs with these types of issues. There are so many wonderful loving pit bulls looking for homes! It is unnatural for a pit bull to be aggressive. A REAL pit bull LOVES everyone!! All dogs NEED exercize and socialization. We work hard locally to educate bully breed owners and speak out against Breed Specific Legislation.

Or you are welcome to email us the address as well. We work in the Dayton and surrounding areas. If you see a dog in need outside our area please go to Dogs Deserve Better website and find your closest Area Representative! Dont give up on the dog. Be his/her voice!!
It is cruel and inhumane to leave a dog alone, hungry, unexercized, and uncared for, chained or penned. These dogs eat, defecate, and sleep in the same small area for YEARS. Laying in the mud, snow, and/or ice ... Chained on a short lead or closed up in a small pen, and many times BOTH, they suffer without love, exercise, interaction, and usually not enough food. They suffer for years....many die that way never knowing a kind touch or voice. MANY have embedded collars. Chaining and/or penning an animal is NOT humane and should not be legal! Dont just drive by and think it is sad, day after day...DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! You can offer to walk their dog or bring it food/a better doghouse..etc... or call us (in Dayton) and we will help!! (Again, if you are outside Dayton please go to DogsDeserve Better.org) They have many wonderful volunteers all over the US willing to help!! If you see a dog who is being neglected or abused PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY or police department!
