 Dodger came to BTB from Miami-Dade Animal Services.
This approximately 4 year old guy had a severely infected tail and was acting
very cranky due to his condition. He is now recuperating from a successful tail amputation surgery, which was the recommended treatment due to the advanced state
of the infection. Dodger says, "All bullies have those little nubs anyhow; I
just have a little less!" Dodger is becoming very out-going and affectionate
and getting used to being handled now that he is pain-free. Since he is still a
little defensive when touched near the tail area, a home without young children
is recommended. He gets along with most, but not all dogs and is a rather active
bully. Needs work with housetraining. This little 45 pound guy has a new
lease on life and looking for someone to dote on him. Is that you?Read our FAQ about adoption.

Elsie aka Muffin is a senior dog who was a stray in the Jacksonville area. She is very
sweet and affectionate with her caretakers, but is not trusting and can act aggressively toward strangers when she is fearful. She needs a home with no
children. Only adopters with a great deal of dog training experience will be
considered.
Daisy
3 is a 3 year old female, owner surrender originally adopted from
JuneBug was received from Miami-Dade Animal Services shelter on death's door with an
infection of the uterus (pyrometra) and weighing less than 30 pounds. She has
had life-saving surgery and has been packing on the pounds. She has a petite
frame and is estimated to be about 6 years old. June Bug loves to cuddle with
people, but is not good with other dogs. Good with children. She has dry eye
that requires daily eye medication and needs work on housetraining. June Bug
has a new lease on life and is looking for a special home where she can get
lots of love be treated like a princess!
Carlotta. Personality plus and full of energy, Carlotta aka
Lottie-Da is estimated to be about 3 years old. She was found as a stray who
was roaming the roads, abandoned in an agricultural area in Dade County. The
vet believes that she had at least one litter of pups at some point in her
young life. She is heartworm negative and very healthy. She needs a calm
environment and someone with the willingness to continue obedience work with
her. Carlotta is a little rowdy and can get over stimulated when around active
dogs. A basic obedience class at Petsmart (or comparable) will be included with
her adoption. She gets along with dogs her size or larger. She needs a home
with no cats or young children. Carlotta is a great dog for someone who wants a
dog who can go on long walks. She's very smart and responds well to a positive,
consistent training approach. Carlotta says...don't forget, I work for treats!
Brutus 2.
I am an athletic-looking 4 year old boy & yes that is right, I have a tail, but I am an English bulldog.
Pretty much I am a great boy that deserves a great home. I love people,
not to big on toys, and have a good nature. I am house- trained. I was
surrendered to the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and now I really just need
a good home!
Tank3 is a chunky brindle guy who's about three years
old. Tank was left by his owner at a vet's office to be euthanized after being
hit by a car. The clinic sought alternatives; Buddies Thru Bullies was
contacted and assumed responsibility for his treatment. Tank had road rash and
a badly fractured tibia (leg) that required surgery by an orthopedic
specialist. He's fully recuperated now and good as new! He has a very sweet
disposition and was never cross to anyone during his painful medical ordeal. He
is good with most dogs. However, a very dominant dog who would give him
"attitude" would not be a good combination. He would do best in a home without
very small children. Tank needs someone very patient and with a flexible
schedule to work on his house training. Tank's ready to start his new life and
running loose chasing cars is now off his agenda! 
Chunky is a
seven year old laid back girl who came from the Palm Beach County Animal Care
shelter. Upon intake she was very obese with a great deal of hair loss. She
has been diagnosed with Cushings's Disease and also takes thyroid medication.
She has responded well to the treatment plan developed by specialists in
internal medicine and dermatology. She takes medications daily, but they are
not costly ones. Her quality of life is excellent and she's grown a whole
bunch of hair! Her food intake must be regulated to prevent obesity as a
symptom of her condition is excessive appetite. Her Cushing's symptoms are
very mild and there is no way to predict if they will accelerate or remain
fairly constant in the future. Chunky is a sweet girl and will need a special
home willing to monitor her condition.
Mugsley is a mellow 7-year-old with a boxy little body! He was
surrendered by his owner with Pugsley and we would like to place them together.
They were both very much loved by their owner, but foreclosure/financial
circumstances resulted in their surrender to rescue. Mugsley is being treated
for an ear infection and he had a dental and some tooth extractions. He is
heartworm negative and in good health. Mugsley kind of "goes with the flow" and
adjusts well to new situations. He acts like a big brother to Pugsley and he is
right there to check on her if he thinks she is in distress (like during the vet
exam). He's housebroken and a quiet laid back fellow. Twice the bullie love...Mugsley
and Pugsley!
Nigel
is our "hit and run" bullie; he was hit by a car on a
highway in Central Florida. The driver didn't stop, but fortunately for Nigel
the next car happened to be a dog rescue volunteer who scooped him up, took him
to her vet and subsequently contacted Buddies Thru Bullies. Initial
examination indicated that he had a jaw fracture, which has healed.
He's a very loving, energetic dog estimated to be about three years old.
He loves long walks and giving kisses. His interactions with other pets
must be limited due to his medical condition, but he has not shown any
tendencies toward aggression with other pets thus far. Nigel has had successful eye surgery and his jaw is healed. He's an active guy
looking for a forever home!
