Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Brief description: Elliot is a sweet little low-rider fellow who wants to be by your side at all times. Weighing in at about 40 lbs, he is a perfect lap dog. He’s your ride or die, always willing to do whatever you’re in the mood for, whether its having a lazy on the couch or taking a hike in the woods. He enjoys being around people and just wants to be the center of attention. He’s house and crate trained and responds well to commands. He is quite the quirky character and will make you laugh with the way he hops around when he’s happy or lays with his legs straight up in the air when he’s sleeping. Likes: Loves attention from his humans. He likes to sit by your feet all day, whether you’re working at your desk or watching TV, he’ll be right there with you. Did you say ‘get the ball?’ Elliot’s favorite game is playing fetch. This makes him very happy, and you can tell because he starts hopping like a bunny when he’s playing fetch to show his enthusiasm. He’s very food motivated and will do anything you ask him when a treat is involved. Dislikes: The only thing that seems to annoy him is when his foster brother tries to hump him, but to be expected, lol! Personality: Elliot is very cuddly and touchy and wants to be involved in everything you do. He doesn’t know the concept of personal space. He listens well and is down for anything; he can be spunky or chill and will adapt to your mood. He has a very happy-go-lucky attitude and just wants to please you. If you’re looking for a snuggle companion, he’s your guy. Temperament: Very friendly to everyone he meets and can be quite the little ham. When he wants attention, he’ll jump right into your lap and stare up at you until you pet his head. He is always good for a laugh with his quirky little ways. If traveling is your thing, he’s good in the car, enjoys taking walks, and adapts well to new environments. But what he enjoys most is being a lap dog. Energy level: Spurts of energy when he wants you to play, then other times he is very chill and lazy. Favorite activities: Playing fetch with the ball, walks, car rides, playing with toys, and chilling on the sofa. Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?: Elliot would probably be best as an only dog or in a home that has a calm or older female dog. He has been around other male dogs but takes a while to warm up to them. He has a few scars around his face, so he may have been attacked by other dogs who weren’t so nice to him in his past life. He seems to get along better with calmer dogs who aren’t intrusive of his personal space. He’s good with people in general; men, women, & children. Kids under 10 are probably not good idea only because he can get wound up and hyper-focused on his toys, especially when playing with his ball. Not good with: He’s never been around cats so not sure. Housetrained: YES, Elliot is fully house trained. As soon as you let him outside, he’ll pee and poop right away, he doesn’t waste any time doing his business so he can get right back to you. Crate trained: Yes. If you say “crate” he’ll walk right in and waits for his treats. Other times, he goes in by himself just to chill. Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)?: Elliot would do fine either with or without a fenced yard. He has a good recall, but still needs to be leashed for safety. Walks well on a leash?: Does well on a leash and enjoys taking walks. Doesn’t pull and listens well. Challenges: He’s very easy going and adapts quickly to his environment. However, he has a tendency to be very invasive of your space and will try to get in your lap at all costs, whether it means stepping on your laptop or knocking your drink out of your hand. But that’s being pretty nit picky, as he’s a pretty darn near perfect. Any Medical issues?: No What would be the best kind of home?: Elliot would do well in a home that gives him plenty of lap-time, snuggles, and attention. He would do well as an only dog or in a home that has a calmer, more chill dog. If you work outside of the home, that’s no problem. He’s house-trained and well-behaved; he doesn’t chew or get into things he not supposed to. He’d probably do best with kids over 10 only because he can be intense when he plays and gets hyper-focused on his toys.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER : Wherever we go, whatever we do, we’re gonna get through it together! With you for me and me for you We'll muddle through whatever we do, Together, together, wherever, wherever Together, wherever we go!... Meet Bella Wella Woo, one half of the Bella/Turkey Man Blue team. HISTORY : Bella and Blue were turned into a local shelter together because their owner could no longer afford their care. PERSONALITY : Bella is one feisty, mega personality in a small package dog. She loves Blue but “adores” her people. Bella purportedly loves to watch the movie Shrek and just “you” try resisting those big, beautiful, brown eyes! Neither Bella nor Blue are destructive when left alone. Bella may be small, but she is mighty! FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Bella enjoys playing tug of war, keep away, and bitey face with Blue. She would love a lap, any lap, “your” lap to curl up in. MEDICAL ISSUES : Bella was recently spayed, however, once she’s recovered she and her partner in crime, Blue, will be ready to find their “furever” home. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : While with time and slow introductions Bella would get along fine with a canine companion other than Blue (large or small), Bella would love a home with Blue where they could be the only pups vying for their adopter’s attention. Bella did live with a cat in her previous home and, therefore, would probably not mind sharing a home with a dog savvy kitty, however, Bella’s current foster does not own a cat and is unable to confirm as to whether or not this statement is true. Bella could use some leash work on pulling. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Blue and Bella love and look forward to car rides. They settle right in and you don’t hear a peep from either one the entire ride. Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.

With you for me and me for you We'll muddle through whatever we do, Together, together, wherever, wherever Together, wherever we go!... Meet Turkey Man Blue, one half of the Turkey Man Blue/Bella Wella Woo team. Turkey Man Blue responds best to just “Blue” (although at times it fits, he was just a little embarrassed by the nickname Turkey Man). HISTORY : Blue and Bella were turned into a local shelter together because their owner could no longer afford their care. Since Blue and Bella have been in foster care, they’ve put on some much needed weight (Blue certainly loves his food and takes his treats gently). PERSONALITY : Blue is a sensitive, calm, cool, collected, snuggle buddy, and, let’s face it, what dog doesn’t love a belly rub! Blue is all about the belly rubs. While he adores his companion Bella, Blue “worships” his people and will whine (but settle down quickly) when his people leave the room/house. Blue has quite the commanding bark! It’s hard to believe that such a bark comes from a dog his size. Neither Blue nor Bella are destructive when left alone. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Blue enjoys playing tug of war, keep away from, and bitey face with Bella. He would love a lap, any lap, “your” lap to curl up in. MEDICAL ISSUES : None. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : While Blue gets along well with dogs his size or smaller, large dogs make him nervous. He would very much love a home where he and Bella could be the only pups vying for their adopter’s attention. Blue did live with a cat in his previous home and, therefore, would probably not mind sharing a home with a dog savvy kitty, however, Blue’s current foster does not currently own a cat and is unable to confirm as to whether or not this statement is true. Blue would also love a home where his person is home most of the day. Blue could use some leash work on pulling. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Blue and Bella love and look forward to car rides.

Story
Sena was abandoned in my neighborhood about 7 months ago. She was starved and abused. I have never been a dog person, but I wanted to help her so I placed a lost pet ad and no response. She has all her shots and I was going to get her fixed, but since I have on going medical needs and also might be unemployed soon. Sena is gentle and loves to play with toys. She loves to fetch. My yard is very small and I also cannot take her for walks. She has never growled at me or caused me to fear her. I am also willing to help with the cost for getting her fixed when that time comes. She loves my grandchildren and wants to play. I would like to see her with another dog for a playmate. She is also create trained at night and prefers to sleep all night there.

CloveyFemaleAge: 3 yearsWeight: 48 lbsBreed: American Bulldog Hi! I’m Clovey. I am a cuddly and active girl who gets along with other dogs as long as we are able to meet with a slow introduction. I have not been around cats or kids to know how I would do around them yet. When I am out of my crate I will go to the door and let you know I need to go out. I am still working on my crate training as I don’t like to be separated from my humans. My favorite snacks are hot dogs! I love those things. I also know the command “sit” and will come to you when you call for me. I enjoy the Bark Box fuzzy toys. I like to run in the backyard and play with my fur sibling and oh boy do I love to cuddle. I really love being around my humans and am a very loving dog when I am the one getting all of the attention. I cannot wait to find my very own active family who will give me all the love and attention I deserve and who will be patient with me as I continue to learn. If you are interested in meeting sassy and cuddly girl, apply to adopt her at: www.causeforcanines.org. Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident and 23 or older. Children must be 5 years old or older. ##2084245##

Otis is an11 yr old bull terrier, house trained and always wanting to play. Loves tug of war walks/hikes and swimming. I adopted him in 2014 as a 7 month old puppy and he’s been with me since. My wife and I have a small child which he has shown anxiousness with and I’m afraid they cannot co habitat. Needs a home with no pets or small children. Has shown food aggression and doesn't like to be bothered when laying in his bed. Would be a great companion for the right owner.

Story
Nutmeg is the happiest, sweetest, most affectionate dog you're likely to ever meet. She's always up for an adventure and gets super excited to go "bye bye". She rides perfectly in the car. She has wonderful manners and knows several commands. This girl is 100% potty trained to outside and will even alert at the door when she needs to go out. She pulls on the leash for about the first 30 seconds of a walk out of excitement, then walks loose leashed. She goes willingly into her crate and settles right away. However, she also can be left to roam as she is not destructive. She can play a bit rough and bulldoze people unintentionally during zoomies, so she's best fit for a household with older kids. Nutmeg can be particular about who she shares her space with. She is dog selective and will need to meet any resident dogs of potential adopters. Nutmeg needs someone who likes a dog that snuggles as she loves to be right with her people when she's ready to nap. This lady thrives on affection and gives it back in return in the form of affectionate licks. If Nutmeg sounds like she would be a good fit for your household and lifestyle, please apply. This sweet girl will truly make a fantastic companion.

Adopting a Miniature Bull Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Miniature Bull Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Miniature Bull Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Miniature Bull Terrier from a shelter is typically $50 to $300, while smaller rescues may charge higher fees. This adoption fee often includes a basic exam, preventatives, vaccines, microchipping, and spay/neuter. 

In contrast, buying a Miniature Bull Terrier from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $2,000 to $4,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Miniature Bull Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in this breed or in Bull Terriers in general. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Miniature Bull Terriers in your search radius.

Miniature Bull Terrier fun facts
