We Need Your Help With Sick Dogs!

Dog of the Month: Sullivan!

"Sullivan" Sullivan (aka Sully) is a 1-2 year old dream dog!!! Honestly, we have nothing bad to say about this dog other than he is just too darn cute. He has one blue eye and one brown eye, which makes him absolutely stunning. Sully was surrendered, along with his brother Soren, when his owners went to jail. We are so fortunate to have gotten Sully when we did, because he really is one in a million. Sully does amazingly well with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. He is even tolerant of not so nice dogs. He also is very respectful of cats and ADORES children. Sully would do best in a home where he had another doggy buddy or children to romp around with. Sully is crate trained, but doesn't need one. He is currently left loose in his foster home and has never done any damage or shown any signs of separation anxiety. Sullivan is also potty trained and knows basic obedience. Who ever adopts Sullivan will be a very lucky person.

Foster informational seminar

Come and find out what it takes to foster a dog. You can sign up by sending us your name and email address through our contact form. (Reserving a spot is required due to space limitations.)

NOTE: No new events are currently scheduled. If you'd like to be notified when the next one is drawing near, send us a note.

Adoption Open House

Once a month, we bring all of our dogs together for open adoption. (Note: There's no need to wait til the event if there's a dog you're interested in now - just fill out an adoption application and you'll be able to arrange a one-on-one visit with that dog at any time.)

Even if you're not looking to adopt, but are curious to see what properly-raised Pit Bulls and similar breeds are really like, feel free to stop by. (Or see our "Happy Tails" page for reviews by families that have adopted Pit Bulls and other dogs from us, as well as our Education page which dispells myths about Pit Bulls.)

• Most, if not all, of the dogs up for adoption at the time of the event will be available for viewing.
• Several of the foster parents are typically on hand to answer questions about the dogs they've been fostering.

Lending a Hand

We're always looking for foster families, but there's other ways you can help our dogs:

Dog supplies. If you have any of these items lying around collecting dust, we can put them to use in our foster homes:

• Crates
• Stainless steel bowls
• Leashes
• Collars
• Toys
• Chews (bones)

Donations. Save-A-Bull Rescue is a volunteer-driven effort that manages to operate on a modest budget for our regular overhead. However, we frequently need financial support to cover the larger vet bills we sustain when the dogs need medical treatment. Please consider making a small donation so we can continue to give these dogs the care they deserve.

So if you're interested in helping in any way, drop us a line and we'll go from there.

Our Mission

Save-A-Bull Rescue is a volunteer-based non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of American Pit Bull Terriers and other Bull breeds.

We envision a world where these unjustly maligned dogs share homes with kind, loving, and competent humans, where their honor can be restored and preserved. Irresponsible owners and the media have done so much to damage these breeds' reputations, and it is our goal to remedy the situation by educating the general public on how to properly raise, care for, and love these amazing dogs. And by encouraging owners to get their dogs involved in obedience, agility, tracking, weight-pulling, therapy work, and police work.

Note: All dogs that pass through Save-A-Bull are thoroughly temperament-tested and health-screened, and get neutered, vaccinated, heartworm-tested, and microchipped.
