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.
Izzy
Izzy is an 11 yr. old female Bouvier that is the lone survivor of a group of five Bouviers that came to us totally emaciated and in desparate need of care. She has proven to be not only a girl of great strength but a big love-bug!
Izzy has gone from 29 lb. to a helathy weight. She lives with small children, other dogs, both large and small, and is an easy keeper. She is obedient and kind hearted. Most recently a puppy was added to the foster home, and Izzy has a new sparkle in her eye having a puppy again.
Izzy is up-to-date on her vet care and vaccinations. She has not been spayed as of yet as there were other more pressing health concerns to address.
Izzy needs a soft place to live out her remaining years with lots of love and companionship.
Beau
Beau is a good-looking young bouvier that was abandoned at a shelter in south Texas in the middle of the night. Tied to the outside fence, he kept trying to run after the person that left him there. It sounds, and is heartbreaking, but Beau has landed in the right place!
When he was finally freed by the shelter staff, he was afraid, confused, and scared of everything. Now, however, we have a diamond in the rough ready for a loving home. BEAU is around 18 months to 2 years old, a skinny, lanky, full of himself boy. He walks well on a leash, knows the sit command, rides well in a car when crated and loves nothing more than exploring the backyard.
Although Beau loves people, and wants to please, he will do best with a person that has Bouvier or working dog experience. He has only begun to learn how to be the perfect companion so obedience classes are a must! This goofy fellow loves to learn new things, and thrives when somebody shows him the ropes.
Beau will be placed in a home with no children and only dogs of his size because he is still a bit rough and rambunctious when he meets new creatures.
He is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Please excuse his silly face, his lovely beard and coat were shaved due to matting.
Please fill out an application at www.abrl.org. Contact Dagi Henry for more information.
