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.
Stitch
Age: 3.5 years
Breed: French Bulldog X Boston Terrier
Gender: Male
Stitch comes to ABR from a farm with lots of space to run - unfortunately he needed to be rehomed because he would chase livestock and the risk of being kicked and injured was quite high.
He is a friendly guy who knows many commands and walks well on a leash.
We look forward to hearing more about Stitch while he is in care.
Donations made in Stitch's name will be used towards his training and medical needs.
Red
Age: 3 years
Breed: Old English Bulldog
Gender: Male
Red is a very happy guy! He loves to nap and be around his people. He loves to go for walks and does really well on a leash. Red is happy to greet people on his way and get pets
At home, he loves to cuddle, give lots of licks if you let him. Red is good with kids and other dogs
- we don’t know about cats as of yet. He is happy to take his foster parents on 3 walks a day.
Like many bulldogs, Red appears to be suffering from food allergies that are causing of itchy ears and paws. Red will go for a medical assessment and we will follow our vet's directions to help get his allergies under control. Because of his allergies not being fully under control, his left ear is irritated and inflamed. Red's fosters are working closely with the ABR medical coordinator and our vets to help get Re's allergies under control.
Red is currently settling into his foster home and is not available for adoption.
Honey
Age: 4 years
Breed: Old English Bulldog
Gender: Female
Honey came to ABR with a limited history, this means we will learn more and more about her as we go.
-
She is estimated to be a 4 year old female frenchie.
-
She’s very puppy like! She is quite hyper and gets the zoomies often, but she’s also happy to lay and chew on a bone.
-
Honey is very friendly, gets along great with the other dogs in her foster home. They are three peas in a pod with her foster siblings.
-
In typical Frenchie fashion, Honey hates the rain.
-
She is actively learning basic commands and manners in her foster home - this is a work in progress ☺️
-
She’s medically not in great shape. When honey came into ABR's care she was walking with a head tilt, which was confirmed to be a significant ear infection. After an ear scope and multiple flushes to help assess. The vets removed lots of debris and did multiple biopsies. Unfortunately, we may be looking at ear canal ablation or ear canal removal as last resort.
Any donations received in Honey's name will be used towards her mounting medical expenses.
Indi
Age: 8 years
Breed: English Bulldog
Gender: Male
Indi is a very gentle senior boy. He is affectionate and loves to spend his time following his people around, hoping for snacks. He is surprisingly agile for an older dog and isn't shy about finding his way onto your lap! No matter where you sit, Indi will be nearby and want to be touching you.
Indi gets along well with kids (although his need for love can result in young kids getting knocked over) and seems indifferent to other dogs in his space.
Indi has not seen a vet yet. We suspect his vision may be impaired and he will need to be neutered prior to being available for adoption. He currently prefers to sit on the carpet or grass when possible - this could be due to his extremely long nails or sores between his toes. We are working to get him cleaned up and back to having happy, healthy feet.
Indi is demonstrating significant anxiety in his new surroundings. We are giving him as much time and space as he needs, but he will very likely end up working with a trainer to help boost his confidence. At this point, he is unsure about doorways or stair cases and pancakes when you wear a hat around him or try to put him into a kennel. Indi is also a marker who currently wears a belly band to help curb this action. Hopefully these behaviours improve as he gains confidence and comfort in his new surroundings.
Any donation made in Indi's name will be used towards his medical expenses.
Rocky
Age: 4 years
Breed: French Bulldog
Gender: Male
Rocky is playful & friendly with adults and kids. He is a higher energy boy who happily goes for walks and enjoys running around and playing tug with the kids outside. Like many bullies, he can be a bit pushy and jumpy when he wants attention.
Rocky will need some socialization training for better dog manners and to improve his leash skills. Rocky can be quite vocal and will also start working with his fosters and a trainer to address his "frenchie scream" when he is overstimulated and sees another dog.
Rocky came to ABR with some medical concerns, specifically, allergies that caused skin and coat issues.
Any donations made in Rocky's name will go towards his training and medical care.
