My story

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

Oh, GEE- it's a PUPPY A NOTE:Bulldog Puppies are not low-maintenance dogs They require patience, daily mental and physical engagement, some more patience, a sense of humor, and a GOOD full-service vet. Bulldog puppies can thrive in homes that understand the breed and are ready for the commitment.Additionally, although SUPER cute and so yummy & silly, most of our dogs have come from yucky backyard greeders and so, will 100% need to have owners committed to their unique long-term care, health, and wellbeing.Russ has already been surrendered by one family for being 'too much', literally for being the young bulldog that he is.So, his furever family has got to be ready for all of the fun that a baby bulldog will bring to their lives. Here's his wish list: At least one fun, playful, confident doggo willing to wrestle and teach him the ropes of this dog thing in his home A fenced, grassy yard to frolick in, weather permitting ABR would love for his family to be willing to take Russ to puppy or group training classes ot help him to be the brave, properly socialized pup he deserves to be Russ has just landed, and we are still getting to know him.Pupdates coming. We ask folks to remember that Russ is only one dog and can only go to one home.Please consider adopting another of our deserving dogs if Russ is not the pup for you.

Additional adoption info

Austin Bulldog Rescue is 100% foster-based, and does not have a shelter or facility where applicants can come meet dogs before applying. Meet and greets with a potential match will happen after an adoption application is approved. ABR is a matching rescue -- while our teams take dog preference into account, we ultimately match families to the dog best suited for their home and lifestyle. The more thoroughly you answer the interview questions, the better the matching experience on all sides!
