Great with other dogs and cats
No special food or daily meds, but enjoys a night time snack of yogurt to help her belly ๐Ÿฒ
She needs a big fenced in back yard at least 6 feet tall fence because this girl is athletic
Absolutely LOVES chasing balls and playing fetch ๐ŸŽพ

Has learned sit and not to jump. Working on lay down

We would like to thank Back 9 Golf & Entertainment and Circle City Brewing Co. for hosting and sponsoring the IBR at last nights event!

We met the most amazingly gracious people and the venue is not only state of the art, but itโ€™s gorgeous and tons of fun!

We raised some much needed funds all thanks to Circle City Brewingโ€™s donations and silent auction. We received several adoption applications and made some incredible connections.

We would absolutely return, if asked, and look forward to more community outreach.

Thank you all for your support. ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ’™

Who here loves a good long bulldog tongue? ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Meet Amora! ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ’—

Amora is a beautiful 2-year-old female English Bulldog looking for her forever home! With her striking blue eyes, brindle coat, and sweet personality, she's sure to steal your heart.

She was a breeder dump ๐Ÿ˜” only used for that purpose. So she is working on learning the ways of being a lazy indoor bulldog.

Things her foster momma would like you to know:

Sweetest girl, but a little slow to warm up to new people
Crate and house trained, working on signaling this to her people ๐Ÿšฝ
Quickly learning commands like sit, stay, and shake!
Good with other dogs and older children ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿฝ
A medium potato at 40 pounds ๐Ÿฅ”
Energy level is between low and medium depending on what sheโ€™s doing.
No special food or medications ๐Ÿ’Š

Amora is ready for a home where she can continue to learn, play, and receive all the attention she deserves. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can safely explore and enjoy her new life and a family willing to help her learn boundaries.

If you're looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy and love into your life, Amora might just be the perfect match for you!

Hermione is now available for adoption!

One year old sweet heart
Great with kids and dogs ๐Ÿพ

Loves to be outside and does well walking on a leash
Still in the puppy phase of life ๐Ÿ’—
No special food or daily medications ๐Ÿ’Š
Weighs in at a small 27 pounds

IBR family, we need your help with one of our newest intakes ๐Ÿ†˜

Please say hello to Miss Harriet.

She came to us as a stray on the streets with some pretty bad skin issues. Estimated at the age of 7. She is currently undergoing vetting and is getting medicated baths which should help turn her around quick. She just needs some good TLC!

What her foster momma has to say about her:

Extreme case of happy butt wiggles ๐Ÿฅฐ
Favorite activity is going on long walks ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Will roll on her back for belly rubs and cuddles
May be dog selective at this time, but difficult to tell when theyโ€™re so new, more to come
Has does well seeing dogs out on walks and doesnโ€™t bark back ๐Ÿพ
Loves her some pup cups (see video posted below)

As with all of our babies, they just want to be loved and give love in return ๐Ÿ’—

If you have some extra pup cup money ๐Ÿ’ฐ to donate on behalf of her care we would greatly appreciate it! More information to come as we learn more about her and after her vetting is completed.

Keep an eye out ๐Ÿ‘€ more posts to come once she is available for adoption.

08/15/2024

Come and see us!

We will have dogs on hand to snuggle but cannot ascertain which of our kiddos will be vetted and still in the program by the 27th.

We canโ€™t wait to see everyone!! Mark your calendars. โ›ณ๏ธ ๐Ÿถ

Honestly, would we really change a second of this life? No. ๐Ÿ’™

Please help us welcome sweet Butter Baby to the IBR family ๐Ÿ’—

This ball of love was a breeder dump after they were told they couldnโ€™t have her impregnated at the vets office. This was because she has spina bifida.

This is a neurological condition that can happen in dogs and humans and affects their strength in their legs and their ability to be continent of bowel and bladder.

However, her case is very mild. Within 24 hours of being in her foster home she was roaming around and going up and down small steps by herself. She even trots around and chases her foster sister in the yard (see video in the comments)

Things we LOVE about Butter Baby:

Sweet heart to everyone she meets
Timid at first but gets confident very quickly
Fully continent of bowel and bladder
Good with other dogs ๐Ÿถ
Cats untested
Great with kids ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿผ
Crate and house trained
Pocket sized but thickk (50 pounds)
Can go up a few small steps
No daily medications or special food ๐Ÿ’Š
Only 20 months old!
Beautiful cinnamon roll tail ๐Ÿ’—

Things Butter would love about her furever home:

Minimal stairs (or stairs that can be gated off)
Fenced in back yard because she loves to roam
A friend to play with (but also does great on her own)
Someone who can lift her if needed to get in the car or carry down steps if required ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ
Stairs or ramps if needed so she can be with her people

Her degree of spina bifida will not progress as she ages.
Once sheโ€™s familiar in her home, you can barely even notice she has any weakness at all. We are so proud of her. She was also raised mostly in a cage inside of a barn.๐Ÿ˜ก The amount of progress and confidence sheโ€™s shown in a short amount of time is truly remarkable.

If you think sheโ€™d be a great fit for your family you can apply to adopt here: https://indianabulldogrescue.com/adoption-application/

Letโ€™s talk about all the amazing things Boris has to offer

Great with kids ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿผ
Crate and house trained
Minds his manners in the home & doesnโ€™t get into anything heโ€™s not supposed to
Loves a peanut butter filled Kong & chew bone ๐Ÿฆด
Great bath taker
Excellent walking companion on a leash
Quick learner and eager to please his people
Affectionate and sweet
Number one cuddle buddy ๐Ÿ†

His only request is that he needs to be an only dog.

Cats are still unknown, but he did well when seeing one through the front door ๐Ÿ‘€

Where is Amoraโ€™s family?

Fall starts in August right ?? No need to wait until October to find something sweet and bite sized.

Meet Amora!

Amora is a beautiful, 2 year old English Bulldog with brindle-coated and striking blue eyes that will melt your heart. At 40 pounds and 12 inches tall, she's a bite sized girl ready for cuddles and companionship. Amora spent her early years as a breeder mom, but now she's ready to embrace the joys of being a beloved pet.

Amora's sweet and friendly nature makes her the ideal companion for anyone looking to add a little love and warmth to their home. She adores people and craves attention, always eager to be by your side. Whether it's sitting with you on the couch or following you around the house, Amora just wants to be close to the people she loves.

This charming girl is crate and potty trained, and she's quickly picking up on what it means to just be a dog. Amora is learning to play and is getting the hang of basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Watching her discover the simple joys of playtime and affection is truly heartwarming.

Amora would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can explore safely. She's good with other dogs and children, making her a wonderful addition to a family or as a loyal companion to someone who can give her the love and attention she deserves.

If you're looking for a sweet, cute, and loving dog to complete your family, Amora might just be the perfect match. She's ready to leave her past behind and start a new chapter filled with fun, love, and endless belly rubs.

Meet Hermoine (long haired) and Harley.

Their owner passed away and they were taken in by a family member. They do not get with one another at all. They are mom and daughter so thatโ€™s not shocking.

The family tried their hardest to acclimate them into a home with other dogs, and it was simply a nightmare. Choosing rescue was the right decision for everyoneโ€™s safety and well being.

They just arrived this evening. We are going to assess Hermoine fairly with other dogs but we know Harley is a hard no for pets. She is ready to pounce on sight. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Both are kid friendly. I would venture to say cats wouldnโ€™t be ideal housemates either.

More to come and these divas settle into IBR.

Special thanks to foster mom, Karen, for taking both in. Crate and rotate isnโ€™t ideal but itโ€™s certainly better than the alternatives.

IBR is sending our most heartfelt sympathies to the Eberle Family for their loss of Roxy. She had so many amazing years with this wonderful family.

Dad volunteers as our Santa at the yearly holiday photo event, and itโ€™s been wonderful to keep up with Roxy over the years.

She will be missed beyond words. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน
