Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Nimbu & Rue – Our “Herb Litter” Sweethearts! Born around August 5, 2025, Nimbu and Rue are adorable Bulldog mixes from our precious Herb Litter (their sister Cassia has already found her forever home!). These two are full of personality, charm, and puppy sweetness. Nimbu is the social butterfly of the pair. He’s sweet, friendly, and always ready to play. Whether he’s bouncing around the yard or romping with toys, Nimbu brings joyful energy wherever he goes. He’s curious, affectionate, and loves making new friends. Rue is a little more particular about her playtime — she may not always want to wrestle with her brother, but don’t let that fool you! She absolutely adores him and lets everyone know it. If they’re separated, she’ll cry because she doesn’t like being away from her buddy. It’s the sweetest thing. Rue is gentle, loving, and deeply connected to her people. Both pups have wonderful temperaments — friendly, curious, and gentle-natured. They’re the kind of puppies who will grow into loyal, affectionate companions with the right guidance and love. Whether adopted together or separately, Nimbu and Rue are ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of puppy kisses to their forever families. Amazing Grace Bully Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Pensacola, Florida. We do not have a physical building. If you want to meet any of our pups, the first step is to complete our online application, and someone from the Rescue will contact you. Rue is current on shots, dewormed, spayed, and has a registered microchip. If you would like to adopt this Amazing dog or set up a meet and greet, please fill out our online adoption application at www.amazinggracebullyrescue.org If you have any questions, please text your question to 850-723-2037. You may also send a message to our Amazing Grace Bully Rescue Page on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or send an email directly to amazinggracebullyrescue@gmail.com Disclaimer: We are located in Pensacola, Florida, and will consider local applicants first, especially for the puppies, as we utilize a local veterinarian.

Story

Bear is so sweet and playful, energetic, very cuddly and LOVES attention. We found him injured on the side of the highway in Houston Texas at about 3 months old with injuries to his back leg/hip and the vet said he has healed VERY well! Full medical history from Banfield Animal Hospital available. Currently 45 lbs, estimated birthday: 3/30/2025 Reference on behavior from professional police dog trainer available; located in st Pete and has offered two free training sessions to new owner. Has not been chipped/fixed as the vet recommended doing both at once and waiting until he is at least a year old to give his bones optimal time to strengthen. Expecting his DNA panel in 2 weeks but initial tests said mostly pit/staffy- not allergy friendly. He’s house trained, crate trained, and friendly with dogs,kids, and all people after proper introduction. High energy, has some anxiety that the trainer said will settle as he ages and is trained.
