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.
Emilia
My name is Emilia translated from the Latin meaning "beloved" or "loved one", that's me! I am a big velvety black beauty that loves all people. I am 7 years old and have a bit of middle age spread, but hey fat bottomed girls make the rockin' world go round, right? I am sweet and affectionate and enjoy short walks around the neighborhood, back scratches, and laying by your feet. I do have some orthopedic issues that would really benefit if I lost 15 to 20 pounds for sure. I am sweet and affectionate. I walk nicely on a leash, but need redirection and training because I like to chase anything that moves fast – cats, small animals, birds, even cars sometimes. We're working on it together and I am improving every day. Due to my orthopedic issues, I would do best in a home with no more than a few steps in or out of the main living space. It's ok if the bedrooms are upstairs, I don't mind not sleeping in the bedroom. I would so appreciate being the primary focus of someone's love for my remaining years. If you have a big heart for a fat bottomed girl, give my foster mom, Colleen, a call to learn more about me (502) 544-1392. If she doesn't answer, please leave a message and she will call you back within 48 hours.

Hi, I'm Arty! I love to play with my foster siblings! I am a gentle boy that, and I love affection from my humans. I love to run and play with toys.
I am approximately 2 years old, up to date on all vaccinations and neutered. I was picked up as a stray and have been in a foster home with children and other dogs for about two months now. I have a docked tail and natural ears. They shaved my coat down because I was a stinky mess, I am just now beginning to need a bit more trimming and grooming than just a bath and brushing.
If you think your home is the one for me, please complete an application at www.abrl.org. I am being fostered near Chicago, IL. If my foster mom, Jennah, thinks your home matches my needs, she will give you a call. Her email is ILcoord@abrl.org. Thanks for taking a look at me! Arty
