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.
Tonka
Tonka is a 7-year-old male fawn Bouvier. He weighs about 102 lbs. and has cropped ears and docked tail. He is neutered.
He had a full veterinarian check up on 2/12/2026 including full blood work and heartworm test all results were negative or in expected range. On that date he was brought up to date on all is vaccines (rabies, lepto, bordetellla, and DA2PP). In March he had his teeth cleaned and booster for lepto. He was started on year around Spectrum Sentinel (supply good until Feb 2027) and placed on Effitix for flea and tick control (6-month supply) and he tolerates those medications well. He did well with the vet and the vet techs mentioned that he was great to deal with.
Tonka lived with 3 other Bouviers before going into foster care. Currently he resides with his foster in the mountains in Northern Colorado along with a senior 13-year-old male Bouv and 5-year-old female Bouv. He gets along really well with the other dogs. He gets 3 walks daily and does well on single leash or split leash with the female. He loves meeting new people and dogs, but can be overly exuberant upon first introductions. He has had a few doggie playdates and has done well with slow introductions. He has been introduced to basic agility play and is extremely light on his feet for his size. He can clear a 4-foot fence easily.
Tonka is very affectionate and tries to please. When not engaged in something, he will sleep on the bed with the female Bouv, in his dog bed, on the couch or behind his humans chair. He loves ear rubs, belly rubs, milk bone treats, and snuggling with his human while they read. He travels well in the car. Tonka is working on improving his leash manners and more advanced commands including hand signals. He tolerates grooming well including nail clipping and is getting used to the idea of having his teeth brushed.
If interested in adopting Tonka, please fill out an application at abrl.org. Contact Marcia natlcoord@abrl.org for more information.
Danu
Hello my name is Danu. My foster mom gave me this magical new name! It is rooted in Celtic mythology and associated with the ancient goddess of fertility and abundance! She chose this name for me because she knew I had puppies in my past and recently demonstrated my protectiveness & love for little humans too. I tend to be the Mom dog & the boss dog, but in a good way, I never make ugly faces-- I just like to be in charge! But hey, aren't all female Bouviers like this????
I am a beautiful black female with a stunning appearance, classic cropped ears & docked tail! I am very affectionate and love to give kisses & have my belly rubbed. These are a couple of my favorite things!!
I am 5 years old & weigh 90 pounds, I have been on a fitness program because I was a little "too" Rubenesque (I guess this is where the abundance in my name comes from), so I am working on building up my stamina for longer walks with my new family.
I don't know whether you read the saga of my incredible voyage with three male Bouviers (one was my puppy) in my family that had to be rehomed because our human came upon bad times and lost our home. He wanted the best for us, and he had a Rescue Angel help him, and help him to help us, too. She is also our foster mom. We travelled from California to Colorado, and the boys have found spectacular homes, and now it's my turn!
A little more about me, I am a very good traveler, I love little humans and other dogs, but I'm not too fond of kitties.
I am current on my vaccinations and have been spayed. To find out more about me, complete an application at abrl.org. Then reach out to Marcia @ natlcoord@abrl.org. She will be working with my foster mom to find me the perfect home.
Latto
Latto's Story
Calling ALL Giant Schnauzer lovers! My name is Latto, I am a hard playing, hard loving guy & like all Giants I act first & ask questions later. However I am a sweet guy that gets along with just about every dog I come across! My foster dad keeps saying I am a GOOD boy!! I recently had a visit at a home with two little dogs, I greeted them with my charming good looks and stubby tail wagging at warp speed!
Latto was pulled from the shelter as a Bouvier but on further grooming and evaluation believe him to be a purebred Giant Schnauzer, he checks all the boxes!
I am 4 years old but act like a puppy! I know some basic commands, but you have to remind me to use them!! I love to play and fetch, and I will actually drop the ball when you ask --so you can throw it again for me! I can be a toy terminator, a trait of a lot of pups in our breed!
I am tall, dark and handsome, very shiny hair, striking good looks with cropped ears and a docked tail that never stops! I am looking for an active family that can keep up with my energy, and I don't think I would mind at all having a canine playmate!
There is a cat in my current foster home but my foster dad keeps us apart. He doesn't know what my intentions are! When I came here I was sick with a cough, my foster dad said it was called kennel cough. He gave me medicine and some yucky cough syrup, I had a runny nose and deep cough, but with his excellent care I am feeling healthy again!
When I was at the shelter I had an operation before I could go to a new home, so I am neutered. Because I was so matted, I had to be shaved down They left my head fluffy and matted ( I looked like a Q-tip.), so my foster dad took care of that too!
I love to be near my human and settle down when it's time to relax! I am up to date on all my vaccines and preventatives & anxious to have a forever home of my own! I am being fostered in Royal Palm Beach Florida.
