Layla – Livermore, CA – – Foster Home Urgently Needed

YeyaSwimsuitName YeyaDottieAliceMed

Layla’s foster home burned down on 11/1 (everyone’s OK, thank goodness!) so she needs a new spot right away. Layla is about 5 years old and 45-ish pounds. She is good with other dogs but not on a longterm basis. She is wonderful with kitties and children (even toddlers). She can have skin issues that occasionally flare up but those can be resolved with supplements, medicated baths and a grainfree diet. Layla’s a couch potato indoors but loves to go on walks. She can be a bolter so make sure she’s all leashed up before the door opens!

Herbert – Northern California Family Dog, San Francisco

FamilyDogHerbert

About Herbert

  • Status: Available for Adoption (adoption info)
  • Species: Dog
  • Rescue ID: 14-0006
  • Color: white
  • Eye Color: Blue
  • Current Size: 50 Pounds
  • Current Age: 1 Year 6 Months (best estimate)
  • Obedience Training Needed: Has Basic Training
  • Reaction to New People: Friendly

Herbert is a gorgeous 1 year old Bull Terrier mix who came to us from Martinez.  He is great with other dogs and really wants to play-when the other shelter dogs bark at him, he just does a big play bow!   He doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. He is a good guy with a sound disposition – and he really needs a break.

This handsome blue-eyed guy is deaf, which honestly doesn’t hold him back. What does hold him back is that no one has taken the time to teach this big pup good dog manners. For instance, he loves other dogs but sometimes steps all over them in his excitement. Some dogs are just fine with that. Others find it pretty annoying. He also loves people and is super friendly. But sometimes he gets a little excited and leaps up when he shouldn’t. You get the idea – he’s an enthusiast.

With consistent training, he will learn his boundaries. Please give him a chance to achieve his full potential – and if you can’t adopt him you can still help out by joining our volunteer program and taking him out for an afternoon in the park!  He is microchipped, neutered, up to date on vaccines and ready to go home!

From his foster:

He’s clearly able to bond with and seek affection from humans — he asks for pets, gives me kisses and comes and checks in on his own accord.  All good things for bonding with a potential adopter.

I think he would do well in a place with a big enclosed yard so he could burn off his working dog energy. Or with someone willing to exercise him every day.  I also think another dog would be very good for him – I’ve noticed first hand that he does pick up good behavior from my own dogs.  He really follows their lead.  And most importantly, he’s learning the rules of the house, doing much better being a decent house pet around here.
He’s also incredibly smart, I’ve really been impressed by his intelligence. He needs someone who appreciates this and is willing to train him or put him to work.

Would you like to meet Herbert?  Please fill out an application at norcalfamilydogrescue.org.

Carmen, Baldwin Park (Los Angeles) – Foster Home Urgently Needed

BaldwinParkGirlA4747153MedCarmen is a 3yo girl which the shelter reports as being “good with most dogs”. She has dry eye, is very thin and sure to have other veterinary needs. Her time is very limited so we’re working with the Orange Coast and Golden State Bull Terrier Clubs to find a foster spot for this girl. Her ideal spot will be one where she’s the only dog or one where she could be separated from the resident dogs while she decompresses. If your information isn’t on file, please complete our application here: http://www.bullterrierrescue.org/?page_id=572. Thank you for any consideration! ~Suz

Preston – Encino, CA

PrestonShelterName PrestonNamePreston is an awesome guy who is great with dogs, cats, rabbits, kids, and everything else under the sun. He arrived at the Camarillo shelter as a stray with old breaks in his left hind leg.  We quickly had an ortho surgeon do the repairs and plating in his leg so we’ll be fundraising to offset the $4000 surgery costs for this sweet dumpling.  Preston is about 1.5 years old and he weighs about 40 pounds; he is done with his post-op crate rest and his x-rays show that his leg is fully healed.  He recently went running for an hour without any issues.  This delightful guy is crate, leash and house trained.

Rambo – Los Angeles

RamboNameRamboNPalName
A neighbor saved Rambo from a life of being crated indoors only to find out that he isn’t cut out for outdoor life like the four little dogs in the home.  Rescue has been asked to find him a home where he can be indoors and where his snuggles can truly be appreciated. He’s been great (and loves playing) with dogs 8lbs and up as well as children. Energy level is moderate with the prerequisite walks. No food nor toy aggression with the little mutts and even defers to them. Rambo is about 2 years old; he weighs about 45lbs.

Brock – Davis, CA

BrockNameBrock has been diagnosed with Laryngeal Paralysis (a condition that affects his breathing). This condition is not a death sentence as it can managed by ensuring that he’s kept in a cool environment and doesn’t get overexerted. The surgery to treat this condition is expensive; and it is not always successful. Pre-surgery risks include the administering of anesthesia; post-surgery risk include aspiration pneumonia. As the procedure needs to be done by a specialist and is estimated to be $6000, we will not be pursuing surgery at this time. Because he can have 10 days or 10 years (the latter with the proper management of the condition), we will be placing Brock as a Hospice egghead. Is there a special home out there for this super sweet lovebug? He’s a very happy-go-lucky guy who is not in discomfort at this time. More information on Laryngeal Paralysis can be found here: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/laryngeal_paralysis.html

A video of Brock at the shelter can be found here – he’s a truly sweet guy!

Hugo – Not Available

Hugo
4/21 UPDATE:  Hugo’s owners could not bear to give him up so they will continue looking for pet-friendly housing.

Hugo is a 1.5yo guy whose family is faced with housing issues. He is your typical young, energetic Bull Terrier who calms down to Affectionate Couch Potato speed once he has his requisite two good daily walks. He is good with dogs that can match his sometimes rough play style but seems to annoy the older, calm dogs. It is unknown how he’ll do with the kitties. He is great with older children but can unintentionally knock the younger ones down. Hugo is crate, house and leash trained. Anyone have room in your heart and hope for this 45-50lb goofball? If we don’t have your information on file, our application can be found here: http://www.bullterrierrescue.org/?page_id=572

Turbo, Deaf – Bakersfield

TurboTurbo is a super sweet deaf guy who also has microphthalmia. This condition consists of an eye that is smaller than the other. Usually, the internal structures of the eyeball are abnormal as well; and the eyeball can gradually shrink and be reabsorbed. It is likely that he is partial or completely blind in that eye. There is no treatment for this condition and dogs lead normal, wonderful lives. Cataracts may develop and removal of the eye (enucleation) could be a possibility in the future. An Orange Coast Bull Terrier Club member evaluated him on Thursday and wanted to take him home!!! You’d never know that he’s deaf and may be visually impaired in one eye as he is so affectionate and is the happiest little guy. Turbo is about 2-3 years old and weighs about 35lbs. He wanted to play with other dogs in the shelter and has not met any cats during his stay there. Turbo may need a refresher on leash and crate training; the shelter reports that he is housebroken. Is there room anywhere for this little clown? If your information is not yet on file, our application can be found here: http://www.bullterrierrescue.org/?page_id=572. Thank you for any consideration!
