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 $300.00. 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.

Baloo is a fawn 7 yr. old neutered Bouvier. Baloo needs a new place to call home as his former elderly owner could no longer care for him.
Baloo is overweight and has signs of arthritis in his hips and hocks. He is currently on Deramaxx which has greatly improved his mobility. He must go to a home that will continue to reduce his weight and exercise him to the best of his ability. Short walks and play are suggested. Longer walks are probably not in his best interest until he physically adjusts to a better life. Baloo is looking for a home where he will not have to climb stairs.
Baloo gets along well with the other Bouvier and a Husky mix in his foster home. For the most part, he prefers to ignore them but does occasionally play and interact. He is a typical hard-headed male Bouvier in that sometimes he does get a little too 'in your face' for his foster sister Bouvier.
Baloo will make someone a wonderful companion. He loves to be around his people, follow where you go and be part of a home's routine.
He is being fostered in north central Florida. If you are interested in adopting Baloo, please fill out an application at www.abrl.org.
