dodgerDodger 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?

carlottaCarlotta. 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!

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."

brutus 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.

kassa
Kassa. I am a senior female who was found as a stray in the Miami area. I have great eyes and excellent fur. I have had some mammary tumors and rectal polyps removed. I have had some dental work done too. I am a real lover and want a home where my owners will hang out with me and let me sit on the furniture, since that is my favorite thing. I am mostly house trained, but could use some friendly reminding of how it all works. I would love to live out my golden years as an only dog, because I am not good with other dogs and want all the love for me.

garth
Garth. I am approximately 4-5 years old. I came from the Palm Beach Animal Care & Control.  I love humans of all ages and other dogs.   I am a sweet, sweet dog with some skin issues.  My ideal home would be with a loving mom and/or dad who have the time to devote to me to help me out with me bad eyes that need drops daily and have had ear ablation. I really would love to have a home for good! What do ya say?

tallulah
Tallulah  is a wonderful 6 year old girlie who was sadly surrendered by a couple who loved her dearly, but medical circumstances in the family made the decision necessary. She's perfectly housetrained and loves to be with her people. She especially likes to supervise the action in the kitchen in case an extra tidbit might fall her way. Tallulah is a bit arthritic so she takes joint care supplements and needs to keep a trim figure. She's good with kids, cats and some dogs. But she can be ornery with some dogs and would much prefer to be the only dog. She needs regular medicated baths to keep her skin in good shape especially the deep folds under her neck. We were told that she loves to swim (with supervision of course)! Are you the one who can make the second stage of Tallulah's life just as good as the first?

tank3Tank3 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 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.

pugsley
Pugsley is a 7-year-old bullie surrendered by her owner along with Mugsley.  Difficult financial circumstances/foreclosure resulted in the owner having to surrender the bullies who she loved very much.  We would like to place Pugsley and Mugsley together as they have been raised together and are quite bonded.  Pugsley has dry eye and will have a continued need for prescription medication.  She is currently being treated for an ear infection.  She is heartworm negative.  She is rather timid and is rather disoriented by being uprooted from her home, but she is slowly warming up to new people at her foster home.  She's housetrained and good with other dogs.  Twice the bullie love...Mugsley and Pugsley!

mugsleyMugsley 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!

nigelNigel 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!

cookie
Cookie is originally from Jacksonville Animal Care/Control. She was treated for heartworm, adopted out, then returned heartworm positive. The vet felt she shouldn't be put through treatment again, so Cookie is on heartworm preventative medication. She is good with other dogs and loves, loves toys! Cookie is fun-loving and wants to be in a home with humans that will love and cherish her. She's sweet and wants to be loved. She has good eyes and coat with old scarring.

mickeyd
Mickey D is a 10-month-old who was surrendered to the Florida Keys SPCA by an owner in the military who could no longer care for him.  Realizing that careful screening of adopters was necessary, the shelter contracted BTB for assistance.   Since coming to BTB, he's been neutered and had cherry-eye surgery.  He's being treated for a mild case of demodex mange.  He has a great temperament with the usual puppy rowdiness of a bullie his age.  Mickey D is good with other dogs and might be a bit too rough for very young children, but older children are fine.  He needs some work on housetraining .  What a great fellow who's looking for his forever home!

Shelby is an owner surrender to Brevard County. The reason they gave? “She is too old and lame.” Not so, says her foster mom. Shelby is just fine but would really like a family again. She is about 8 years old and 50 pounds. She is good with kids and some dogs (better with males than females). Her only health problem is dry eye, a very typical bulldog ailment. She would like to spend her retirement in a loving home.

Handsome (formerly Buster VI) is good with other dogs but not small children, only because he is a “humper.” He needs someone who will gently train him not to hump, and then he will make a wonderful pet. He is very food-oriented and often helps his foster mom open bags of dog food. Handsome is a beautiful boy who just never got the proper training he needed. Please give him a chance!
