Story
Jake is a real love. He is truly a companion dog. He just loves people. In fact, his favorite is to sit in the kitchen while you cook. Everything is better when Jake's around. He was rescued from California and has rebounded magnificently. He gets along with all the other dogs at the rescue and loves horses. He follows them around the ranch just like the old Texas cowboys used to do. He is current on all his vaccinations and heartworm negative. He is a very gentle dog and great on the leash. Nature trail anyone? Give us a buzz and let us introduce you to our sweet boy, Jake.May 23, 2024, 3:59 pm

Story
From a sad hospice bebe to a fun, hunky, fun boi, Edwin Evergreen is the reason we do what we do. We rescued a hydrocephalus boy who had days to live, but, thanks to the unwavering love of his epic foster and a whole pack of amazing doctors (and a bunch of $$ tahnks to our devoted donors), Edwin Evergreen is now a fun, leggy, bouncy boy who is now MIRACULOUSLY ready for his furever family. Edwin is young and fun, so we'd love for him to have his very own dog to romp with He's a typical puppy, so he's working on all his puppy things, so, needs a family willing to be patient while he learns to dogHe's a little bit vision-impaired, so he needs folks willing to meet him on his terms. So we think best if there are no littles in his furever home. Last one, as a tripod, Edwin will do best in a home without a bunch of stairs to manage We're so excited for Edwin to start his furever life. He is a special boy who deserves a super special family, and he's taking applications now.

Fresh out the oven (or, off the streets) and into foster care, we can not wait for everyone to get to know our steamy fresh Biscuit. Despite his days on the mean streets, our big ol' softy might as well be slathered in butter and honey; he's just so delicious and sweet.We know this guy is in love with every human who shows him kindness, loves his foster pup sibling, and we just know he's THAT dream family doggo that so many people are looking for. He's crate- and potty-trained, and since Mr B has had his neuter and intake done, he's officially ready to meet his furever family To see more of our dogs, please go to https://austinbulldogrescue.com to see who is available and to learn how to get involved with ABR.

Are you ready for a love bomb (in the best possible way )Whelp, say hello to our big lover-boi Keith! One of our volunteers got to visit him recently and, well, who does not want to add THIS dog to their house-herd: "I can't say enough about how lovely Keith is. He's one of those dogs that loves to stare into your eyes lovingly while you massage his squishy face with your hands. He made me feel like I was the only woman for him and that his whole heart belongs to only me". Another great mystery: how this perfect boi is with us in rescue, but we'll take him What a perfect house guest: he is polite, intelligent, fun, and perfectly potty trainedOur sweet boy is ready to be someone's soul dogOh, and as a leggy boi, he has no issue with stairs, walking, or dogging outside Last but not least in this perfect dog list: HE LOVES PLAYING WITH TOYS and is super, super food motivated . So, a FUN trainable pal to be your ride-or-die SWOON- that's what we have to say Sweet Keith is a gentle soul and, does need time to warm up to new situations and, he is just a little timid around new men. So, our hope for him is that his new family will be willing to be patient with him and give him the time to trust that he is safe in his new world.We PROMISE he's going to blossom into the best, best boy and is 100% worth the effort.Apply now for your new best friend   To see more of our dogs, please go to https://austinbulldogrescue.com to see who is available and to learn how to get involved with ABR.

Story
Meet Puffy: Professional Napper, Aspiring Zoo Keeper, and Certified Good Boy Ladies and gentlemen, roll out the red carpet because Puffy is here to steal your sofa—and your heart. This handsome, big ol’ marshmallow of an American Bulldog comes equipped with stunning looks (seriously, models are jealous) and a nap schedule tighter than a CEO’s calendar. Puffy’s daily agenda? Sleep while you “work” (he knows you're watching TikToks). Grace you with his presence during TV time. Briefly pounce on his beloved blue jolly ball in the yard—just enough to remind you he could be an athlete. Return to the couch for another nap. Repeat as needed. But Puffy is more than just a handsome face and a champion napper. This guy is basically Dr. Doolittle—he’s lived with cats, parrots, and even giant tortoises. He’s ready to run your household like a gentle, slightly wobbly zookeeper. Speaking of wobbly, Puffy has a neurological condition that makes him a little unsteady on his paws, so he’s looking for a calm, quiet home where he can stay safe on the first floor (stairs are for peasants anyway). Training? Puffy’s got that down. He knows "sit," "down," and "place," and will do anything for praise. Seriously—call him a good boy and he’ll move mountains for you (or, at least, move slightly faster toward his next nap). Treats also work wonders, because Puffy knows snacks are life. Ready to upgrade your life with Puffy, the world’s handsomest, snooziest and most lovable sidekick? Follow his adventures on Instagram at @omg_its_puffy to see how ridiculously adorable he is. Puffy’s just looking for a comfy couch, a quiet home, and someone to call him a good boy forever. Will it be you?

Story
Chaney is a large, intimidating looking dog, but in reality is a very sweet, if not curious, old man. He originally belonged to my Uncle, but he is out of the picture now, and sadly his current caretaker is being forced out of his home, and has no idea where he is going, so Chaney needs a new home. Sadly no one in our family is willing to take him, and we have no friends that we can trust to do so. He is 12 years old, and seems to have arthritis in his rear, he loves being massaged there. He absolutely loves attention and being scratched and pet. It is a hard decision, but we are looking for someone to give him a good finale to his life, as he is getting to end of it.

Whether it's a splash in a kiddie pool, a creek, or just playing with the hose, Matilda is all in. She rides wonderfully in the car and is always up for a road trip or a quick outing with her people. Matilda is incredibly affectionate and loves to be near her family, soaking up pets, cuddles, and attention. This sweet girl is being fostered in a loving home in Seguin, TX, where she’s getting all the care she needs. She is spayed, heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on regular flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. Matilda can be transported to the Northeast or Pacific Northwest for the right family.

Story
Meet Pugsley! Pugsley is a 2-year-old bulldog/terrier mix bursting with charm, goofy energy, and an endless capacity for love. He’s the perfect match for an active family looking for a fun-loving, kid-friendly companion who thrives on adventure and connection. Pugsley is the ideal blend of playful enthusiasm and affectionate sweetness. He loves to run, play, and explore—whether he’s romping in the yard, joining you for long walks, or splashing in the water, one of his all-time favorite activities. He walks beautifully on a leash and brings enthusiasm to every outing, making him a wonderful walking or hiking buddy. At home, Pugsley is a delightful goofball. He’ll do an “alligator chomp” in the air to get your attention, spook himself with a trash bag blowing across the yard, or curl up next to you in the funniest positions. He is good with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having canine companions to play and relax with. Pugsley is incredibly loving and people-oriented. He’s fantastic with kids of all ages and quickly becomes a family favorite. He crates easily when no one is home and does best in a household with a yard and, ideally, another dog buddy. He would love to have a family that is home alot if he is the only dog. He is also cat friendly but may try to play with them. Pugsley is currently being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX. He gets anxious with car rides so he is available in Texas only. He loves sleeping in a bed with his family and sleeps soundly through the night. His quirks—like sleeping with his tongue sticking out and snoring softly—only make him more endearing. If you're seeking a joyful, affectionate, water-loving dog with tons of personality, Pugsley is ready to win your heart. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Story
Meet Butkus....yep he is definitely not a shar pei. Call it a moment of weakness but seriously how could we let this guy get euthanized over some pretty breed specific medical issues which happen to be right up our alley in the shar pei world. Butkus might be the happiest boy ever. He loves everyone. His tail never stops wagging or what whatever you call that little nub.  Thank God he is cute and sweet because this guy is not the brightest bulb on the tree. So if you are the person who likes your dogs good looking and sweet and not concerned if they never figure out how to sit this is your guy! He loves car rides but so far is not a fan of walking but we are convinced with the help of Bertha he will realize how much he loves it. He is a good sized boy at 58lbs. He was seen by our vet yesterday and like Bertha did have decreased tear production in both eyes. He will need his cherry eyes addressed at time of surgery. His skin is already improved with regular bathing. Fostering in phoenix AZDecember 1, 2025, 3:01 pm

Story
Are you wondering what a shar pei rescue is doing with a pair of bulldogs...well so are we! It was a complete moment of weakness. Meet Bertha. This girl is as wide as she is tall but she has started her intermittent fasting, youtube ab videos and twice a day walks. This girl loves to walk so we are excited to see her waist line start to become visible This girl is great with people and other dogs. She did come in with her man Butkus but they do not need to be adopted together but we would love to see her go to a home with another dog. They had their first vet visit and honestly all their medical issues are pretty much identical to the medical problems we see with Shar Pei. Her tear production was reduced so we are going to assume she will need lifetime eye drops to replace that decreased tear production. Her skin was in great shape but did have an ear infection so an adopter that is familiar with weekly ear maintenance. She loves car rides and walks great on a leash. She is very friendly with all the dogs and people she meets on her daily walks.  She is fostering in Phoenix AZDecember 1, 2025, 3:01 pm
