The Bully Sanctuary

Dog rescue in Shiner, TX

We are a bully breed dog rescue and sanctuary, in Shiner, TX, centrally located between Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. As avid bully breed lovers and an incorporated Texas non-profit, we go above and beyond the call of duty to maintain a level of care for every dog here. We are committed to rescuing and rehabilitating bully breeds and mixes, providing them with a second chance at life. By providing a safe and nurturing environment, we aim to give bully breeds an opportunity to thrive, while challenging negative stereotypes and promoting responsible ownership, either here at the sanctuary or through rehoming with intentional adoptions to veterans, active duty military families, and people with disabilities or mental health conditions.

Additional adoption info

We pride ourselves in having an easy to navigate and qualify adoption process, so long as you meet the requirements of our program mission.

We understand that pet adoptions can feel complicated and time consuming, which is why we've worked hard to remove many of the typical obstacles you may find in other rescue adoption processes.

Due to the nature of our adoptions and our Mission, our adoptions fees are based on a sliding scale, from $0-$300. In addition, we do accept donations and adoption sponsors. What we really ask for is that you provide a loving, stable home, and tell your friends about our mission. Sharing is caring!
