Bouviers Available for Adoption
Thank you for your interest in adopting a Bouvier des Flandres. The Bouviers we offer for adoption have been screened by those knowledgeable in the breed and we feel they are very desirable dogs. We hope to provide them with excellent homes. For each Bouvier adopted, we ask payment for actual expenses incurred or a minimum of $500.00. To be considered as an adopter, please fill out an application.
In some cases, applicants submit an application for a specific Bouvier; in others, an open application is submitted for future consideration of Bouviers coming in to the program. Even if we do not have Bouviers listed as available for adoption, we encourage you to submit an application, as we try to look through applications that we have on file any time a dog comes into our care, and sometimes before they are posted on our website. Please know that many of dogs receive multiple applications, in which case we will look for the applicant that will be the best fit for that particular dog. If your application was not selected, it will remain on file for a year. We encourage you to continue to communicate with the Coordinator in your area regarding your interest, or if you wish to withdraw your application. At any time, direct any questions about the process, your application, or Bouviers to the Coordinator for your state or to the National Director.
Pax
Pax is a 6 month old fawn male Bouvier who's just now getting to explore life around him. Yes, his tail is kinda long for a Bouvier, don't fault him for it. He's super cute & sweet & affectionate. He's learning to trust people, be playful, where to go to the bathroom, and to walk on a leash. He's crate trained and has started his puppy vaccinations. He'd like a family with no kids under 10 years old because fast movements and loud noises startle him. He'll be fine with another kind hearted dog and/or cats. He'd make a great farm dog with his calm, inquisitive disposition. He needs a patient, gentle, experienced owner who will continue his socialization and training to gain confidence. He will need to be neutered when he's about a year old. He's currently hanging out in Kentucky. If you're interested in learning more about Pax, please complete an application then email Colleen at kycoord@abrl.org.
Frieda
Freida is an 8 yr old silver brindle girl with a bouncy, loving personality. She likes to play with stuffed toys & the ball, bob for sweet potato treats in her water bowl, and get butt scratches.
Unfortunately she has been neglected for some time & has a host of health issues we need to get taken care of. She's heartworm positive but does not show any symptoms, in serious need of a dental cleaning, about 25 pounds overweight, and needs to be spayed. Even with all these issues her long term prognosis and her baseline health are very good.
We don't know how Freida is with other dogs or cats at this time. Placement in a home with other dogs o cats is open for discussion. Given her size and bouncy personality she needs a home without children under the age of 12.
Due to her health issues Freida will be placed as a foster to adopt until she completes treatment for heartworm, gets her teeth cleaned, and is spayed. She's currently in Kentucky.
If you'd like to learn more about Freida, please contact Colleen at (502) 544-1392.
