 August's 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. 
January's Trooper 2. The clock was ticking for Trooper. A BTB
member got a call that
Miami-Dade Animal Services had a bulldog in need of rescue; he was in the sick ward and slated to be
euthanized the next day if not claimed by the owner or taken by a rescue Well
Trooper's not quite a bulldog, but he came home with her anyhow. Trooper's got
those bullie teeth that stick out, but may be a bullie/boxer mix. He has
recovered from kennel cough and is heartworm negative. Trooper likes to hang
out with people, but is somewhat fearful in new situations. He's a loyal dog
who just needs a chance. He would fit in well in a multi-dog household, but
would do best in a home without children. Read our FAQ about adoption.  September's 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.
Read our FAQ about adoption.  March's Onslow says, "Won't someone understand and love me for me?" He's
a strikingly handsome owner surrender now about 5 years old who has been with
his foster mom for over a year. He loves people and going for walks.. He has
the basic obedience moves down pat...sit, down, stay; he's a pro. He's
housetrained and good with other dogs. However, several adoption attempts have
been unsuccessful due to his behavior quirks. Onslow is possessive of toys and
any "prize" he views as his. He used to snap or bite when you try to take an
object from him. He's had an assessment by a professional trainer with
suggestions on working with him. Most of the time, he will now respond to "give
and take" with a high value treat to release toys. He has never tried to bite
his foster mom, but does require special handling and an understanding of his
very ingrained behaviors. He is not food possessive and accepts grooming
routines with no problems. He needs a home with no children and Florida
placements only. Are you the home that can give a great dog like Onslow the
understanding and structure that he needs? Read our FAQ about adoption.  May's Daisy 3 is a 3 year old female, owner surrender originally adopted from Miami-Dade Animal Services. She is a bigger girl possible Olde Bulldogge mix. She is active and gets along with most dogs and is good with kids (cats unknown). She takes daily thyroid meds. Daisy is a nice girl, ready for a family to call her own. Read our FAQ about adoption. 
June's 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

September's 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!

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. Once in BTB care, Nigel received further evaluation
by an orthopedic specialist who determined that the fracture should heal
without surgery. But Nigel's treatment plan includes limitation on his physical
activity (no chew toys and no romping with other dogs) and soft diet for about
six weeks. After he is released by the orthopedic vet, he can then
undergo neutering surgery and will be ready for adoption. 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.
UPDATE DECEMBER 2007:
Periodic monitoring and x-rays by the vet show that Nigel's jaw healing is progressing.
He was evaluated by a veterinary ophthalmologist due to an eye ulcer recently and
it was been determined that he needs eye surgery for distichia and entropian in
his left eye. Donations to Nigel's surgery fund are needed; estimated cost
$600 for his eye surgery and next round of jaw x-rays.
UPDATE JULY 2008 Nigel has had successful eye surgery and his jaw is healed. He's an active guy
looking for a forever home!Read our FAQ about adoption.  February's Bailey. "I am a senior girl. I am a ‘sun baby’. When I go outside, I love
to lie in the sun on the concrete. I don’t like the grass so much because it makes my feet feel yucky.
I am not really into toys and sometimes I am a
little aloof, but I am really sweet. I like humans, but I am not great with most dogs. My perfect home would be with someone who has a loving place in their
heart and comfy home with a spot in the sun for me when I go outside. I want to
be with someone who will love me enough to help me out with better potty
training and give me daily drops for my dry eyes." Bailey was an owner
surrender to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, West Palm Beach.

 February's Charlee a.k.a. Prissy. "I am an approx. 5 to 6 yr. old girl. I am a possible bully mix, and I came from the Miami Dade Shelter. I have a really cute face and I am super sweet and ultra loving. Right now, my hips are being evaluated by a vet. and I have great eyes and beautiful coat. I love kids and I am potty-trained and crate trained. What's not to love? I really just want to be loved and be the best friend I can be in a permanent home as the only dog. I love humans, but I don’t care for other dogs. I am moderately active and like some toys." Read our FAQ about adoption.

February's 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!
September's Mei Lei.
I am a senior stray from the Miami Dade Shelter. As you can see, my under bite is my most flattering
feature. I am trying to put on some weight, after having been extremely
emaciated, plus I had a huge benign mammary tumor removed. I am super laid
back and I am a real sweet love. I like to play with some toys and I get along
well with some dogs. I would love to have a home where I can live out my
golden years with a great family who can provide for me and give me my special
food that I am on due to kidney disease.
