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.

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

Emma is just shy of 5 months old. She has natural ears, docked tail, and her dew claws have been removed. She is not spayed, and her adoption will require a $500 spay deposit in addition to the adoption fee of $300. The deposit is returned upon written certification/proof of spay from a licensed veterinarian. She is up to date on her vaccines and rabies inoculations. Not just another adorable face, Emma has a terrific personality and has been in a foster home for two weeks. She has made some progress in walking on a leash, "sits" and "downs" on request (in a cute, puppy way). She willingly rides in a vehicle, though isn't over the moon about it. Emma is making progress on housebreaking, having had only two accidents in the house, and those only when her routine was upset. Emma is brilliantly smart, unfailingly sweet, affectionate and loving. She is also teething and is the product of an unplanned sire to daughter breeding. She is a bit underweight at 32 pounds but should make gains soon.

Emma plays well with others, with a high energy level and classic Bouvier moves. She will do much better in a situation with another dog who will play nicely with her and will not bully and herd her. She requires a large, secure fenced yard to enjoy daily activities. Emma wants to be a house dog, and a companion and to her people at ALL times. She LOVES training! Emma would do nicely in an agility home, or a home that wants to train and compete in Rally or Obedience. She is unquestionably a Bouvier des Flandres and qualifies for her Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL) through the AKC for such events without any issue.

Emma wants to be useful, is a gentle soul, and is both intuitive and sensitive. She can be a touch on the timid side with things she does not yet understand but becomes confident quickly with positive reinforcement. She needs socialization and positive experiences outside the home as she has not met many people or had many experiences outside the home. Emma does not do well in a crate for extended periods of time and needs someone who is home to continue her housebreaking and training. No cats. No small children due to the teething stage of her development which can put child and furnishings at risk. If you meet the criteria and are interested in Emma, please complete an application at www.abrl.org. Deborah Dickerson, asstcoord@abrl.org, will give you a callback about Emma.
