BAMBI

Bambi is a super sweet, beautiful girl! She's the perfect combination of energetic and fun, yet still able to relax and be calm. She is looking for her forever family, and wants her new people to know these 10 things about her:

1. I am about 3 years old and I am a Cane Corso.

2. I am small for my size. When my rescuers found me I was completely emaciated at 50 lbs. I am much healthier now, but I still have some more weight to go to reach my healthy weight, which will probably be about 70 lbs.

3. I am a happy, super playful girl who loves people. However, because of my size and energy, any children I live with should be older than 12 and have experience/training with giant dogs

4. I enjoy the company of my large male foster siblings, but no small dogs, please. (Note: When introducing any new dogs to resident pets, introductions should be taken slow and be supervised.)

5. I have not been around cats, so I’m not sure how I feel about them.

6. I am a people pleaser and a fast learner. My foster mom says that I am very smart and that I am (mostly – see #7) house-trained, crate trained, doggy door trained, and working on obedience and leash training (I don’t pull or resist, but I still sometimes need to be reminded how to calmly walk in a straight line.)

7. I love people, and am wiggly and affectionate when petted, however, positive physical touch is new to me so sometimes I get nervous and so excited that I accidentally pee. I don’t mean to do it, and I am getting better, but this is something my foster mom is still working on.

8. I have lots of energy and am super happy and fun. I love to play with my toys and my foster fur sibling, but sometimes I can be a bit much for him because I wear him out! I also love to play outside and bathe in the sun. I am a Velcro dog who likes to follow you everywhere and nap at your side. I enjoy long walks, car rides, napping and being with my people.

9. The words that best describe me are friendly, affectionate, Velcro, playful, happy, and sometimes nervous.

10. I am fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, spayed, and microchipped.

Ready to give Bambi the forever home of her dreams? Fill out our Adoption Application, located at The Bullpen Way Station & Sanctuary 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-serve basis, but rather we strive for a "perfect placement" so we know that they will not be failed again.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All adopters must fill out an adoption application, which is conveniently located on our website, www.bullpenrescue.org, under the "work with us" tab in the top right of the page.

After you submit your application, the form goes to our online database where it is accessed and reviewed by the members of our team. A rescue volunteer should be in contact within a couple of days to discuss your application, your expectations, and any of the dogs you’re interested in. If you don’t hear anything from us within a reasonable amount of time, don’t be afraid to reach out to us via email at info@bullpenrescue.org!

Once we’ve spoken to you, we’ll begin to check your references. When we’ve gotten the green light from your references, a volunteer will be in touch with you to set up a home visit. We are merely looking to see that you are able to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your dog to live in. At that time, we will also take the opportunity to inspect your fence, yard, and neighborhood.

As soon as your home visit has been completed and approved, you’re officially ready to adopt! At this point, a member of the Bullpen crew will be in touch to discuss the adoption contract/fee. Fees range from $50 for very old dogs to $500 for puppies. On average, the adoption fee is between $300-$400

Depending on the distance between you and your new family member, transport may have to be arranged (for applicants who live in close proximity to our facility in Georgia or one of our foster homes, this will not apply). We WILL NOT SEND A DOG VIA COMMERCIAL AIR, but we do offer two alternative options for long-haul transports:
(1) Commercial: We regularly use a wonderful, reasonably-priced ($150-$200) transport company that travels between Texas and Georgia and then up the East Coast on a weekly basis. The cost of the transport PLUS the cost of the mandatory health certificate must be covered by the applicant unless otherwise specified by the Bullpen.

(2) Private: We also have an individual who is available to do private transport, but applicants must be willing to cover the individual’s travel expenses and meet the driver at least half of the way.

Post-adoption, we reserve the right to make up to three follow-up visits, but we’ll make sure to give you notice beforehand, and the visits are generally informal. Additionally, we always encourage our new adopters to stay in touch with updates or pictures (email, text, or join the Bullpen’s Facebook page- Facebook.com/BullpenRescue) and to feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

More about this rescue

Located in the green rolling hills of Northeast Georgia, The Bullpen provides assistance and sanctuary for giant breed dogs and other vulnerable companion animals. We believe that by integrating grassroots community education and outreach, coalition building, support for existing animal welfare efforts, and our own independent rescue operations, we can eliminate needless euthanasia and improve the overall health and well-being of our four-legged friends.
