For Adoption: Willis! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle.

Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process.

Willis the Mini-Bulldog How can you not fall in love with this fun-loving adorable little Puppy. Let me introduce our foster puppy Willis! His playful personality and “tell-all eyes make him irresistible. Willis is considered a Mini-Bulldog which is a Bulldog mixed with usually a Boston Terrier. He is tan and white in colour and about 4mths old. His face is tan with a white stripe down his forehead and nose down to his chest. He has a little tan marking on the back of his neck, a white chest and belly, along with four white paws. Willis has been vaccinated, de-wormed, chipped and vet checked. He currently has no health concerns. Willis along with his litter mate came to us from a puppy mill. Willis came into our care with an abscess on his face that needed immediate medical attention. It is believed to have been from a littermate biting him. After draining and a course of antibiotics he has fully recovered and ready for his next chapter. We are looking for a family for Willis that has experience with the Bulldog breed and/or great knowledge of the breed. This is a breed of dog that comes with many medical and genetic issues and anyone considering a Bulldog type has to fully accept that and be fully capable of taking on any medical issue that may arise in this dog’s life. They are a brachycephalic breed and as such can have breathing issues in the heat or if allowed to get overweight so we need their people to be committed to ensuring that they are kept lean and trim for their life. We know how cute Bulldogs are and how easy it is to get taken in with their sweetness but please really do your research before applying and ensure that a Bulldog mix is the right fit for you. It is difficult to know the height or weight Willis will be as he is a mixed breed and could take on characteristics from both breeds. We expect him to be medium size, medium energy and capable of doing most things you wish to participate in. Since he has a pushed in nose, his new family will have to be cautious when exercising or playing in the heat as he may overheat quickly. He is currently just over 6.8 kg and growing daily. Willis has been completely crate trained. He spends time in his crate in the evening while everyone sleeps and anytime he is left at home for a few hours every day. He does not complain when he is put into his crate. He usually spends this time catching up on his sleep and resting up for the next big play session with his fosters! He has recently found his voice and will occasionally bark while playing. He will also bark when he is in his crate and needing a potty break. Willis will need lots of playtime and daily exercise when he moves on to his forever home. The adoptive family will need to keep him active so that he grows to be happy and healthy. He is currently gaining confidence every day. He finds the traffic a little distracting but is confident enough to walk along the sidewalk. Willis is happiest when he is snuggling up to his foster family on the couch. The couch has become his safe place. He enjoys early morning cuddles as he works up to playtime and end of day as he drifts off to sleep before everyone goes to bed for the night. His favourite toy is his rubber ball which he loves to chase and push along the floor with his paw and nose. Playtime can involve many toys as he loves them all or simply a willing participant to run around the house as he chases after them. We are currently working on housetraining. Since Willis is still very young, he will not be able to hold it for long periods of time. He needs to be taken out on a regular basis. He will need to be monitored throughout the day as you watch for cues until he is used to his new surroundings. His new family will need to take him out after every new activity, after naps, playtime, after he comes out of his crate and after eating. Willis is very intelligent and highly trainable. In a very short time he has learned to “sit” upon command. He is working on a few other little tricks and loves to be rewarded with his liver bites. He is food driven and patiently waits for each meal. We will be expecting our adoptive families to attend obedience school with Willis. The guidance and lessons learned in puppy classes are very important to getting your pup off to a good start. Willis is smart and he will love the learning..and the treats..that come with dog school. This will be great for his confidence building and socialization. An ideal home for Willis will include a family that is home throughout the day or has the capability of coming home to take him out. Since he is a puppy, he will require constant supervision and many bathroom breaks. The potential adopters must be aware of the commitment involved in a puppy and prepare for non-stop action. Since he is a puppy and will nip and jump, we will only consider homes with children 8 years and older. Although these adorable fur-babies can be fun, be ready for the everyday antics of a young puppy. Willis will nibble, jump and search out anything that interests him which may include your best footwear! When not being supervised he will need to be placed in his crate to keep him safe. Willis has adjusted well to car travel. He is curious at first and prefers to sit on a passengers lap but will eventually settle a go to sleep once the car starts moving. We are currently taking Willis on short trips to help him feel more comfortable. Willis is ready to bring joy and laughter to his new forever home!

***COMING SOON. NOT YET READY FOR ADOPTION***POTENTIAL ADOPTERS MUST BE ON THE HBR BULLDOG WAIT LISTWelcome MatildaMatilda found herself at a shelter as a stray when HBR stepped in to bring this sweet girl into foster care.Matilda has spent a few days in her new foster home and is already enjoying the spoiled life she deserves. This adorable girl has some vetting needs that need to be addressed before she will be available for adoption to those on the English Bulldog Waitlist.

Hi my name is Bugs I have been living with my foster family for a couple months now and my foster fur siblings who I have taken some time to get to know and they are my best friends. I am a bit of nervous dog that can get over stimulated quickly and need reminders to decompress and that can be done by using words like “gentle “ and put in my “bed “ crate which I love and if a blanket is put over top (not the front) then I feel so much better I just love my crate I feel so safe in there and sometimes I have to be bribed to come out to go to the bathroom I have so much potential to be the best dog as I love to snuggle and chill with my humans but I am a lot of dog and don’t realize my own strength or size . I am a dog that needs a secure and firm human as I am a typical bully and can be quite strong willed and stubborn . My foster mom thinks I am one of the most handsome dogs she has ever seen and my coat is so soft , and I have the biggest floppy bunny ears she likes to rub when I lay my head on her and watch tv. Although I may need some extra training my foster mom knows I have so much potential to be such a loyal and loving doggy to a lucky person or family. And I am so worth it !!Located in Ajax- experienced home required ( see below questions and answers) Q:A family with pets, or a family with no pets?A: at this time I think Bugs will do better in a no pet home until he has the training required Q:If pets are ok, which pets would your foster best cohabitate with?A: he currently lives with three small dogs but he gets over stimulated very quickly and will do better with no pets until proper training and decompresses

Wendell just came into care and does require some vetting before being available to those on the English Bulldog waitlist.

***NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS***NOT READY FOR ADOPTION***MUST BE ON BULLDOG WAITLIST***Hi! I’m Rocky, though the humans I'm staying with often call me big guy. I’ve just come into foster care a couple of weeks ago and am just getting used to humans that care about me again. I’ve been letting them know who I am little by little. I really like my crate. Foster Mom calls it "crate trained" but I call it home. I spend a lot of time in there even when the door is open. I like to watch what’s going on. But, when I hear the word ‘walk’ I come running out and go straight to the door. If you wait too long I start to make what Foster mom calls ewok noises. I love to walk! My foster sister-pup is pretty ok. We walk together and sometimes she tries to play, I have not joined yet but maybe one day. I enjoy big humans and little humans equally. Did I mention I am particularly fond of belly rubs? I do most of my washroom breaks outside but occasionally have an accident. I think I'm just getting used to this new place. I have some eye, ear and skin infections to get cleared up, and will be going for my neuter and double cherry eye surgery soon. I look forward to the life ahead of me!
