The Jakester (aka Jokester)!



Jake is the loveable class-clown everyone adores, sandwhiched into a dog's body.  If you are looking for a 60 lb. pooch who loves being carried around and thought of as a lap dog; a dog who watches tv and throws toys for himself; and dog who will leave you laughing despite yourself, then Jake might just be your boy.  Jake is stellar with kids and great with cats.  He also is really good with dogs he knows, and especially enjoys hanging out with small breed dogs (he is quite happy to take direction from a bossy 5 pound yorkie).  He would likely be just fine with horses and other large-breed animals with proper introductions. He has no seperation anxiety and is content to stay at home alone when needed, go for car rides when wanted, and is also a pro at going to work with people. 

Jake's ideal home would have a house with a fenced yard he can exercise in.  He can be a bit of a brat on-leash if allowed to do so, but shapes right up with basic boundaries.. he just gets so excited that he forgets to control himself unless his humans remind him.  For that reason he would do well with either a person/family who is savvy about on-leash manners, someone open to learning (we can totally show you the ropes!), or a person/family that is looking for a dog that will mainly hang-out at home with them... really there are tons of options in regards to great homes for the Jakester aka Jokester as his mission in life is just to entertain his family.  Jake is playful, but has a moderate energery level as he is not a running companion so much as a play with toys and go for walks kind of dog, who is just as happy to snuggle up on the couch for a movie.

If interested in Jake please fill out an application via our website (under Adoption Info).  he is neutered, microchipped, tattooed, vaccinated, dewormed and deflead. 



Casey- On Hold


Casey is courting potential homes at this time so we are not accepting any more applications for Casey right now.

Casey is a 2.5 year old Italian Mastiff (Cane Corso). He has now been in foster care for a month and has proven himself to be a sweet, easy-going, dog/cat-friendly boy. He is under-confident and will be looking for a Mastiff-experienced home (preferably from someone with Cane Corso or Presa experience) to build upon his confidence.

In foster care he is learning that men are not so bad and as long as you are fine, he will follow your lead. He loves women. An update from his foster family, " An update on Louie, now Casey. He is a great dog. He is learning that men are not so bad and as long as you are fine, he will follow your lead. He loves women.

He's been great with our dogs and is left loose in the house during the day. House trained, and mostly non-destructive...he likes hard plastics (ie: sunglass). He has grabbed our shoes and brought it to his blanket, but they were not destroyed, only slobbered on. Crate trained.

No food or toy possessive/aggressive. All three are fed in the same room at the same time. They all wait with the bowls in front and eat in their respective spots.

He is a follower and has gain confidence from our dogs, but on the same note, he is picking up some of Luke's bad habits. He has started to get interested in cats/birds and other moving things and will focus on them. I've started to walk them separately and when it is one on one, he is fine and just need gentle reminders of what is acceptable and what is not. We have been working on "watch" and he is responding well.

He would best suit a confident, calm and kind handler that will have time to take him out and about to explore the world - meet new people and see new things. On the same note, he will need strict boundaries to keep things in check. He requires an owner that will continue to socialize him, give him structure, and help him to continue to build upon his confidence.

If interested in Casey please fill out an application at: http://www.bullybuddies.net/adoptioninfo.htm

Casey is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Dogs with Hopeful Homes!

Budgie- Adoption Pending!


Budgie has wooed her foster-to-adopt home, so she is home for good!

Budgie is sponsored by Lisa in honour of her partner Lori's birthday!!!  Thank-you so much for continuing to support Bully Buddies.

Budgie the Burrito (formerly Pudgey) is soft, round and ridiculously sucky!  She is a sensitive sweetie who had been through alot of changes in her life recently and is feeling a bit sad about it all.  She is either an Olde English Bulldog or an English Bulldog x American Bulldog- regardless she is adorable.  She is between 6-9 years old, has wonderful house manners and is veryyyyy laidback. Budgies idea of exercise is walking a few of blocks and then snuggling up on the couch some more.  She is a-ok being left alone and is happy to snooze the day away. Budgie the Burrito wants a home and a family who will adore her for life.  She is dog-friendly thus far, but would be best matched with another easy-going dog or as an only dog as she gets stressed out by big, rambunctious dogs.  She is great with small dogs and would likely be a-ok with cats as she seems to have no interest in them on walks.<br><br>
Here is an update from budgie's foster family:

She is doing great, we love having her.  Ill get some fun photos of her this week, but as you can see she has made herself right at home.  Gavin and her had a nice cuddle on the couch outside as well.  She is totally respecting the no kitchen rule and hasn't even tried to come up on the no dogs couch.  She is really smart and very sweet.  Going up and down the stairs is about all the exercise she is interested in, so low maintenance!  She met the dog next door through the fence and was very good.  She's just generally super easy so far.  Thanks for letting us have her for a while! 
Budgie is spayed, up to date on shots and ready for a very lucky home to fall in love with her.<br>

Ozzie - Adoption Pending!

Ozzie has a hopeful home with an amazing couple who are former adopters!  Fingers crossed all goes great on his foster-to-adopt this weekend!
Meet Ozzie! This sweet, gentle 5-month-old pup is just about everything one could hope for in a canine companion.  He is incredibly polite, smart and eager to please, amazing everyone who meets him with his fantastic manners and gentile disposition.  He is house-trained and crate-trained, and a very quiet pup who does a-okay spending a few hours alone while his people are at work.  He is great with dogs, and interested in but respectful of cats....he just can't understand why they are so boring and never want to play with him! Ozzie has also been through a beginner obedience class already and knows his basics very well, he will do just about anything for a treat! He is a total charmer and would love to find a fabulous forever home of his very own.  If you are interested in finding out more about the lovely little Oz-man please send us an e-mail to bullybuddies@gmail.com.






Miss Ila- Adoption Pending!

Ila is being adopted by what was supposed to be her temporary foster family... looks like she wooed them as ``just a weekend`` has turned into her forever home!!!

Miss Ila aka just came into our care, wiggling her booty and leaving everyone grinning.  Picture the classis Miss Piggy personality and looks in Pit Bull form- this gal is hilarious!  A very chunky lil low-rider who is just starting her get-into-shape program.  Ila is about 7 years old, eassssssy-going and dog/cat/kid friendly.  She is a pro-napper and thinks that people exist solely to fawn over her.   Ila's last folks let her skin and coat go to the way-side along with a need to loose 10+ pounds, so stay tuned as Ila settles into foster care and under-goes a bit of a make-over. 


Zeus - Adoption Pending!

Zeus has a hopeful home!
Zeus is an 8 month old lab x pit pup who is going to make a lucky person or family very happy. 
Here is some info on him from his foster family:
 
Zeus has been with me for a week now and he is wonderful - he sure doesn't
act like he's only eight months old.  He has perfect house manners, doesn't
chew anything, doesn't bark, just happy to nap at your feet or sun himself
in the back yard.  He loves going on walks and has great confidence.  He
pays attention to his handler, doesn't pull, isn't concerned with the hustle
and bustle of a busy neighbourhood, and ignores other cats and dogs (even
when his foster brother barks at them).  He can be a bit unsure with meeting new dogs, especially since
he came from a rural area and is not used to meeting other dogs on-leash.  For this reason
enrolling in a group obedience calss woud be great for him! He knows many commands, such as
sit, down, shake, leave it, drop it, to name a few.  He sleeps in a crate at
night and is crated when I have to be out and there is absolutely no fuss,
just walks in, sits for his treat then takes a nap (usually lying on his
back).  He stays off all the furniture (must have not been allowed
previously) and is happy just to lay at your feet as you watch TV or work on
the computer.  He must give off good vibes since my "scaredy cat", who never
comes out when a new dog is in the house, has started coming out more often
and he just ignores her.  He is living nicely with my male dog and is
respectful of his space.  Zeus has a quiet, calm, sensibility about him and
seems mature beyond his age, but bring out a toy or his leash and you'll see
some puppy enthusiasm.  Looking for a couch potato type dog who would never
say no to an adventure?  Zeus is your man!
 
If interested in Zeus please fill out an application at:
http://www.bullybuddies.net/adoptioninfo.htm
 
Zeus is neutered, vaccinated, tattooed, microchipped, dewormed and deflead.  His adoption fee will
be $200 with $50 refunded upon proof of completing an obedience class.

Molly - Adoption Pending!

19 puppies and a number of adult dogs were recently confiscated from a home.  Hugabull (www.hugabull.com) took on the huge task of taking in 23 dogs.  Five of those puppies have now been transferred into our care, while the rest of the dogs will become available for adoption through Hugabull.

Four of the puppies with Bully Buddies have adoptions pending, while Molly remains in our care.  If you are interested in her you are welcome to fill out an application:

Update: Molly is 5 months old now and is doing absolutely amazing! Her coat is growing in, she is adored by all and looking as cute as ever!

Mangey lil Molly is approximately 3 months old and currently is battling generalized demodectic mange.  This type of mange is non-contagious and treatable.  It will take some time and care before Molly has her coat back and is no longer a pink lil piglet, but luckily for her she has a fantastic, mange-experienced foster home.  As Molly continues to improve, she will be looking for a foster to adopt home where Bully Buddies can assist with support and vet treatment.   We can't wait to see Molly's skin improve and coat grow back!  To read more about mange check out this link: http://www.akitarescue.com/treating%20demodectic.htm

Lincoln- Adoption Pending!

 

Lulu - Adoption Pending!




Meet Lulu!  This stunning one year old is an absolute catch! Not only does she have the most beautifully unique and uber soft coat, but she also has an amazing set of ears to top off her look!  This little gal is super smart, sweet and full of fun.  She has a wiggle-wiggle bum for every person she meets, and is currently living with 2 other doggy foster siblings and a dog-savvy cat too.  She love to run, wrestle and play chase with her doggy buddies, and thoroughly enjoys dismantling her stuffy toys!  She is also always up for pestering her feline roommate and you will often find her, much to his chagrin, play-bowing and acting like a total and absolute dork to try to get him to play!  Lulu is fun, fun, fun and will definitely bring that extra special sparkle to any home.  She is not a dog for the couch potato, but after a good walk or play session, to burn off that I'm-still-a-puppy energy, she loves nothing more than to snuggle in for a snooze with her favourite person.  Another bonus...she loves to sleep in!  Lulu is fully house-trained, and is quiet and content to sleep in her crate while her people are away.  If you would like to find out a little more about her, or think that you might just be the forever home she has been waiting for, please send us an e-mail to bullybuddies@gmail.com or fill out the online application found on our website.


Chester- Adoption Pending!


Chester has found the most wonderful home!  Thank-you to Bobbi and Co. for fostering him, Erin for temp. fostering him when his foster folks were away, and his new folks for choosing him!

Chester is being sponsored by Agnes' new family, in memory of Phoebe, an old bearded collie who loved all dogs, including bullies of all descriptions.  Thank-you so much to her family for all of their support!

To meet Chester is to love him.  He is one special boy.  Dog and cat social and very well-behaved, it is impossible not to fall in love with this lovely gent.  Chester is currently living with an active male french bulldog who he adores playing with, and two cats who he pays no attention to.  Chester loving lounging in the sun, strolling around the park and getting belly rubs.  Chester has many of the physical features and personality of a boxer, and loves to pull out his boxing moves when playing with another dog.  Chester has been vet-checked, neutered and despite a bit of a weaker hing end, he is a pretty healthy old man.  If you are searching for an easy-going senior who is calm, loving and a go with the flow kinda guy, then Chester may be the man you have been waiting for. 

Lovely Lucy - Adoption Pending!



Lucy has a hopeful home!


We Looove Lucy!! At only 40 lbs, this petite pittie is an absolute charmer and all-around fabulous canine companion. She is quite the comedian at times and loves to ham it up with her toys...her favourite being an over-sized flea! Despite her goofiness she is actually an adult dog, at about 4 years old, and is quiet and calm in the house. One of her favourite pastimes being to snuggle up on the couch or in the nearest lap for a snooze. She does LOVE her walks though, and enjoys getting out an about to smell and see all of the wonderful things that springtime in Vancouver has to offer. She has very nice leash manners and is a joy to walk. Lucy is currently in foster care with two other dogs, and a dog-savvy cat, and gets along great with everyone! She does love a good game of chase if the cat feels inclined to run, but she is called off easily and is quickly learning that most felines don't enjoy being chased. She is an incredibly sweet, well-behaved girl and is always aiming to please her people. She is great in the car, completely house trained, crate trained, and is just fine being left home while her people are away. We just can't say enough about lovely Lucy!!

Agnes- Adoption Pending!

 

After many months with her fantastic foster family Sweet Agnes has an equally wonderful hopeful home!!!
 
Agnes is an absolute darling!  Easy-going and such a peach, she is searching for a retirement home to spoil her in!  Dog, cat and kid loving, she is the all-around perfect pooch!  Fine being left-alone and also great in the car.  We are all smitten with her!



Adoptions Pending!!!

These pups all have hopeful homes!

Sweet Bella also has generalized demodectic mange and is Molly's sibling, but her mange is not as severe as Molly's.  She is being fostered with another dog and cats and is settling into the foster family's routine very quickly.  She loves to cuddle and is doing fabulous with her crate training and beginnings of house-training. 

Koi is the biggest boy in his litter, weighing in at a hefty 36 lbs. at 3.5 to 4 months old.  He already displays the mellow, laidback tendencies of a mastiff.  He is a champ at crate-training and is awesome with his doggy foster brother and two cats.  He also has met kids and done fabulous with them.  Stayed tuned for more updates.

Anchovy is an approximately 3 month old male puppy.  He is silly, affectionate and all-puppy!  He is taking in stride this new adventure and is doing great with the resident dogs and cat in his foster home. 

Bubba Shrimp is a H-E-F-T-Y male puppy who is about 3.5-4 months old and already 32 lbs.  He definitely has more of a Mastiff-type build and temperament than his counterpart Anchovy.  He is now learning about walking on-leash, house-training and all the basics.
