My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Jolly Jupiter is looking for his forever family, and wants his new people to know these 10 things about him:
1. I am a Boerboel and I am about 2.5 years old.
2. My life before the rescue wasn’t the greatest. My previous owners abandoned me and my siblings at a rental property, and nobody came to feed us or give us water for weeks. Finally, a neighbor called animal control, and we all went to the shelter. I thought we were finally safe, but because of our size, nobody wanted to adopt us and we found ourselves on the euthanasia list. Our story would have ended there had somebody not contacted the Bullpen, who told us that we were welcome at the sanctuary!
3. Despite all that I’ve been through, I am a sweet, loving boy that adores humans. I think I would do well in a home with children over 10, as long as they weren’t too loud or rambunctious and had some previous experience/training with big dogs.
4. I like other big dogs, and if my forever family has a large pup or two, I’m pretty confident that we would get along great!
5. I haven’t had any interaction with small or medium sized dogs since coming to the Bullpen, so I can’t say for sure if I could live with them. I do think its possible that I could co-habitate with dogs that weighed more than 30lbs, if we were given a slow and proper introduction.
6. I have no idea how I feel about cats, so a feline-friendly home may not be the best fit for me.
7. The words that best describe me are curious, playful, and affectionate. My favorite thing to do are hanging with humans, playing outside with my siblings, and taking naps on my bed.
8. I am housebroken, and I am learning how to walk politely on a leash. I know basic obedience and I’ve already mastered the dog door!
9. I am fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped.
10. I am heartworm positive, but I have started treatment, and will come with all the medicine needed to complete it at my new home.
Ready to give Jupiter the forever home of his dreams? Fill out our Adoption Application, located at http://www.bullpenrescue.org under the 'work with us' tab.
We highly recommend that our potential adopters fill out an online application as soon as possible, as it greatly expedites the process of finding the right dog for your situation.
Our dogs are available for adoption nationwide but preference is given to adopters willing to do an in-person meeting. Please understand that our dogs are not adopted on a first-come, first-served basis, but rather we strive for a "perfect placement" so we know that they will not be failed again.
