Fergus – Van Nuys, CA

FergusCarNameFergusSmileName
9yo Fergus was surrendered to the East Valley shelter in Los Angeles due to a divorce. He has perked up in his foster home and is quite a character.  He is very people focused and affectionate with people but he’s not a fan of other dogs. Fergie loves to nap on sofas but would also be up a couple of nice walks daily.  A former outdoor dog, Fergus has adapted to and is embracing an indoor life.  He is crate and house trained (knows how to use a doggy door) but will need a little refresher on leash matters.  This endearing senior is quite healthy.  His eyes are fine; his teeth have some tartar but some raw meaty bones could help clean his choppers and stimulate his gums.  Fergus is about 50lbs.

Hayden – San Jose, CA – – ADOPTED!

HaydenSit6NameHaydenSit4NameHayden is a BTRI alumnus who needs a new home as his family has to downsize; and they’ll be traveling extensively in the next few months. This 9yo guy is super potty trained and crate trained. He doesn’t mind being alone at home and is not destructive at all. He loves his chewy and his toys. He sleeps all day like a cat and at 5pm after he eats dinner, he will call attention for a walk or play time (he’ll do a soft bark at around 7pm to go out for a potty then sleeps the rest of the night – – he is extremely on schedule). He does not require a lot of activity but he does get frisky after he poops or eats dinner and would like to play. He likes walks but not far, like a mile or two to explore. Hayden needs to be the only pet as he is reactive to other dogs; and he is not a fan of the kitties. He is not overtly aggressive with other dogs but he will stare them down. This charming, super people-oriented guy is very worth his management around other dogs. Does anyone have room for this very good and loyal guy?

About Geronimo
  • Status: Available for Adoption (adoption info)
  • Species: Dog
  • Rescue ID: 14-0243
  • Color: white/brown
  • Current Size: 35 Pounds
  • Current Age: 6 Years 6 Months (best estimate)
  • Housetrained: Yes
  • Reaction to New People: Friendly

Everyone please say hello to Geronimo. A 6 year old Bull Terrier who was surrendered to us by a caretaker after being abandoned by his original owner.  Geronimo came to us severely emaciated from lack of proper nutrition but is now doing much better! He is getting along really well with other dogs his size and bigger. We are not certain how he does with smaller dogs. We are also certain that he is not fond of cats. Geronimo is great around people. Though he has had a rough start, he is very trusting of his humans. He may be fearful of small children, so we are recommending him to a home with older considerate children. This boy is very energetic and loves to rough n tumble with other dogs. He would do great in a home where he will be getting lots of exercise and/or has a buddy whom he will play with to his heart’s content.

Here’s an update from his foster mom!

“First and foremost he’s amazing. He’s such a good dog. Hands down the most well behaved dog I’ve ever fostered. He’s super potty trained and we have had no issues there. He also doesn’t mind being put in his crate when I leave the house to run quick errands. In the car he’s awesome too.

I’m a big runner so I’ve taken him on quite a few, which he loves but he does get tired after a mile or so and starts waddling. Which I don’t mind at all, it’s more cute than anything. I took him to the beach today and he loved it and he plays very well with the other dogs. My neighbor has an 8th month old husky girl and he and her play in my back yard together whenever we happen to randomly be taking both our dogs out at the same time.

He knows sit very well and I’m trying to teach him to lay down and stay on command.

Honestly, he’s precious! Very sweet and not high-maintenance at all. I think he’d be great with a family and work really well with another dog.”

PeaceFace2NamePeaceNamePeace is a delightful little 38lb girl who is about 4 years old.  She’s a laidback lovebug who would love to be someone’s little companion.  Peace has dry eye and seems to have some scarring on the cornea so there might be some visual impairment.  She is great with dogs of all sizes,  didn’t mind the kitties in the shelter cat room and in her foster home but she is not a fan of our feathered friends.  She is house and crate trained but will need a refresher in leash manners.

The most common treatment for dry eye is cyclosporine (Optimmune) which runs about $35 monthly if your vet will write an prescription for it to be bought online.  More information about dry eye can be found here:  http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_kcs__dry_eye_.html

DottieSitNameHello world! My name is Dottie, I am an approx 5 year old English Bull Terrier, I weigh 40lbs and I am dog & cat friendly. I enjoy long walks on the beach and snuggly nights at home. I am in search of my forever family. I need a person with a sense of humor because my eyesight isn’t too hot and I enjoy running full speed into glass doors. I adore my humans, I’m definitely more into them than I am into other animals. I am relatively gentle but I can be a tripping hazard because I stick so close to my people. I also enjoy being in the company of little humans.  If you think you could be the family for me please fill out an application:  http://www.bullterrierrescue.org/?page_id=572

BakersfieldCookieA976314NameCookieTiltName

Sweet little Cookie was found in a Bakersfield hotel with her deceased owner.  At the shelter, she shared a kennel with a female pit bull without any issues.  This little sugar lump is about 2 years old; and she weighs about 45-50lbs.  Cookie was transferred to Rescue when she was unclaimed.  She’s been very sad and confused in her interim foster home; and a recent vet check revealed that one of her hind legs was badly broken and was never completely healed.  Cookie has recovered from her ortho surgery; and her crate rest period is over.  This sweet little girl is great in a crate and will need a refresher on leash and house training.  If we do not have your information on file, our application can be found here:  http://www.bullterrierrescue.org/?page_id=572  Thank you for any consideration!!!

Presley, Encino CA – Adopted!

Posted on by

PresleyNamePresley’s foster mom needs to get back on the career path so she urgently needs a new foster spot.  This little cupcake entered our program when her owner had to care for her father who was seriously injured in a car accident.  Presley has recovered from her mange and eye infections and special diet.  Presley turned one on Easter. and she’s a delightful 35lb girl who loved to rough house with a 100+ pound Great Dane in her former home but stays away from the Chihuahua owned by her owner’s dad. We don’t know how she is with cats but she’s great with her owner’s 6 and 8 year old brothers. She’s crate and house trained but can pull initially on walks. Her repertoire of tricks include Sit, Stay, Lay Down, Roll Over, etc.  Since she is high energy and on the pushy side, her ideal home would be a bull breed savvy one, and one where she would be the only pet.  Presley seems to get along with other dogs upon meeting but will get into scuffles with them on a long-term situation.  Presley will be available once she recovers from her spay.

Wyatt, Santa Clarita – ADOPTED!

WyattNameWyatt is an absolutely delightful little guy who was found stray in the streets of Pomona and brought to the infamous Devore Shelter.  He is recovering from his neuter and will need to gain some weight so he’ll be available around 6/14/14.  Wyatt is 5 to 6 months old; and he currently weighs around 29 pounds.  He is great with other dogs and is very mindful of cats (he’s really more curious about them more than anything).  He loves to follow you around but is not overly clingy nor hyper.  Please check back for updates on this little doll!
