Currently in Care
All ABR dogs are housed in foster homes while we help them work through medical and behavioural concerns. These dogs are in our care and not yet ready to be adopted. Once they have been cleared by a vet and a trainer we will mark them as available and start reviewing applications.
Brisket
Age: 5 Years
Breed: English Bulldog
Gender: Male
Brisket is not currently available for adoption.
Brisket is a 4 to 5 year old male Olde English Bulldog who came into our care from animal control. Since arriving, he’s had his wellness exam, boosters, and nails trimmed, and has been settling into foster life well.
He’s a calm, gentle boy who loves his routine, his bed, his cozy corner, and most of all, his people. Brisket does well with older kids and enjoys playtime, walks, and relaxing close to his humans. He’s fully crate trained, clean in the home, and non-destructive.
Training & Behaviour:
Brisket will require continued behaviour support and patient adopters committed to helping him feel safe and comfortable.
Since coming into care, it has been observed that he can be unsure around men and sensitive to overhead handling or reaching to pet him if he doesn’t know you yet. He also startles at loud voices. He is already showing great progress with slow introductions and the chance to warm up at his own pace.
Brisket’s adoption will include a DDW (Dangerous Dog Waiver) due to a minor bite incident during his initial adjustment into rescue, along with a training session for his adoptive family. This is not meant to scare anyone, but reflects our commitment to transparency and ensuring his future family is prepared to advocate for him and continue building his confidence.
Ideal Home:
A structured, patient home with older children, and a commitment to continuing his training, routine, and decompression needs.
Brisket is a loyal, loving companion looking for a family willing to give him the time and understanding he deserves.
Adoption Fee includes a training session to help set Brisket and his new family up for success.
Waylon
Age: 3 Years
Breed: French Bulldog
Gender: Male
Meet Waylon, a 3-year-old French Bulldog who’s settling into his foster home and showing us his happy, loving personality.
Waylon can be shy and skittish around new people, so he appreciates patient introductions and time to feel comfortable. He was initially unsure of his Frenchie foster sister, but the two quickly became close friends. While he may enjoy another dog’s company with a gradual introduction, he isn’t a fan of cats and will need a home without them.
Waylon is a picky eater, and his foster family is working on finding a diet that he enjoys and that agrees with his stomach. He’s been experiencing some gas, so we’re keeping an eye on how he responds to those changes.
He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, with an intake wellness appointment coming up soon. As we learn more about his health, personality, and needs, we’ll update his profile.
For now, Waylon is doing well in foster care and becoming more comfortable with his new routine.
Hulk
Age: 10 Years
Breed: English Bulldog
Gender: Male
Hulk is a 10-year-old English Bulldog who enjoys affection, lounging in the sunshine, and a good nap. Mealtimes are a highlight of his day, and he still enjoys a playful battle with a cardboard box.
He currently shares his foster home with another dog and is a very patient and easy going senior boy. He does enjoy playing with a new toy, going for senior shuffle & sniff walks to the mailbox, and special frozen lick treats. He is kennel trained, but is also happy to sleep in his bed all day as well.
Hulk knows how to make himself heard and can demand bark when he wants attention or something specific. He can be quite the critic, and will need a patient family who understands his senior quirks and allow him time to settle into a routine.
Hulk has a condition known as 'dry eye', which requires lifelong daily medication and has very limited or poor vision. He also requires a prescribed allergy diet and daily allergy medication. His future family will need to be prepared to maintain his daily care routine and ongoing veterinary needs.
Hulk remains in foster care while his health needs are being managed. His profile will be updated as we learn more about his progress and care requirements.
Miley
Age: 5 Years
Breed: English Bulldog
Gender: Female
Meet Miley, a 5-year-old Old English Bulldog who has just come into ABR’s care after being transferred from another rescue. This sweet 50lbs cuddle bug is settling in beautifully and already stealing hearts.
Miley requires a no-pet home and would do best with older kids, simply due to some known body pain and her need for personal space and proper gentle handling. She’s a low-key gal who enjoys her slow, short walks, and she adores her car rides.
Medical & Training Updates
Miley does have a few medical concerns we are addressing. She’ll be heading in for her wellness exam and a physio assessment for her luxating patella and shoulder.
Once her initial medical is complete, we’ll schedule her training assessment in the coming days.
Despite everything, Miley’s spirit shines bright — she’s affectionate, calm, and so ready for the next chapter.
Welcome to ABR, Miley!
