✨Meet Victory✨

Victory is the definition of a sweetheart. With his laid-back and quiet demeanor, he’s the kind of dog who brings peace to any home. His gentle and affectionate side truly shines when it’s cuddle time. He’s not just food-motivated but love-motivated, too. As he presses his cheek against yours, it’s as if he’s saying, “I’m right here with you.”

Victory isn’t one to bark or cause a fuss, preferring to enjoy life at a moderate pace. Whether he’s strolling by your side on a walk, perfectly in tune with the leash, or responding to basic commands like “come” and “sit,” Victory shows his intelligence and calm nature. He loves adventure’s and making friends at !

His housetraining has been a breeze, thanks to his quick mastery of the doggie door, and he’s proven to be trustworthy enough to roam freely around the house while his foster mom works in the other room!

🎉Cheers to 15 adoptions in June & July🎉

What makes this post so special is that after whining the puppies, Mama Canela got adopted before the puppies! This is almost unheard of in rescue. We also had a very exciting meet and greet where Ravioli got to find a forever home with guinea pig siblings! The icing on the cake, 3 of the families in this post have adopted from us previous and came back to adopt again!

A big thank you to our adopters who believe in our mission and support our rescue, you keep our volunteers going❤️

We have a lot of great dogs available that will fit seamlessly into your home! Visit our website or reach out if you are interested in adoption and have questions for us💛

Incoming! 🐾💜Meet our newest rescue: Scarlett

Scarlett is a 5 year old girl who found herself being bred and then discarded. If you haven’t noticed this is an unfortunate trend for mother dogs to be left after having puppies. She was facing euthanasia until we received her sweet intake photo from the shelter (first photo). With a pouty lip like that, she is bound to get whatever her little heart wants💜
 
Scarlett is starting her foster home journey and is doing very well! The reality that foster homes allow for dogs to decompress and find love is 100% true. She enjoys flipping on her back and making you pay the tummy rub tax (third photo).

If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out an adoption application to set up a meet and greet with our team! The application can be found through the link in our bio or our website!

Buster believes Saturday nights are meant for backyards and bbq’s with his best friend aka his foster sister Kenzie(see second photo)! This guy would love nothing more than a family to love on. A part of his life he lived outside on a chain, that was until Love-A-Bull rescued him. He would love nothing more than to just be cuddled and loved on forever!

Fun facts:
3 years old 🎂
60 lbs ⚖️
Good with dogs🐶
Loves toys🎾
Gives the best kisses💋

If you are interested in adopting from us, please fill out an adoption application. This does not bind you to a dog but allows our team to gather information to start the process of a meet and greet!

✨Meet Crumb, the sweetest little pup who is still looking for her forever home. As the last in her litter to have a potential adopter, Crumb is a bundle of love just waiting to shower her future family with affection. With her big, expressive eyes and wagging tail, she captures the hearts of everyone she meets especially her foster family! We couldn’t stop ourselves from sharing some of her baby photos (swipe)🥹. Her gentle nature and playful antics will bring so much laughter to her forever family!

Crumb is a perfect reminder that sometimes the best things come to those who wait. More information can be found on our website or at the link in our IG bio. By adopting Crumb, you help us save the next puppy!🐶

🇺🇸She’s not just fetching sticks, she’s bench-pressing them! With muscles like hers, she could easily qualify for the Olympics. She’d dominate the weightlifting category, outlifting even the strongest competitors. When she sprints, she leaves everyone else in the dust. If they had a tug-of-war event, she’d be a gold medalist for sure🏅

Miss Nova has been waiting 192 days for her home. As the best neighborhood watch, she ensures that the Amazon truck delivers her packages on time too. Though she prefers to be the sole animal in the household, she’s all you’ll ever need.Nova thrives on cuddles with her humans, especially after a day spent sunbathing in the backyard (peep her lounge bed in the 2nd photo). She adores being around kids and would make a wonderful playmate for them. If you cant adopt Nova, please share her story! More information can be found on our website or at the link in our bio.

Incoming! 🐾❤️ Meet our newest rescue: Victory

Some cases go beyond our comprehension. Victory came to us with a broken heart and shut down. He was neglected, skinny and had a terrible skin infection. In his case and many others. dogs with skin conditions often face unnecessary rejection, but bacterial skin infections are entirely treatable. Our hearts melted as we received his intake photo( first picture) and knew that we couldn’t let him be euthanized due to stigma, we needed to give him a second chance.
 
Victory was seen by our vet and arrived at his foster home where he has a sweet foster sibling he adores. His personality is already starting to shine bright. He loves his dog bed, knows how to sit and wont hesitate to let you know its dinner time!

If you are interested in meeting him,please fill out an adoption application to set up a meet and greet with our team! The application can be found through the link in our bio or our website!

📍Austin, TX - Welcome to Love-A-Bull, Kiki!

A local shelter was pleading for someone to save Lola (now Kiki). They were completely out of space with more dogs coming in every day. A foster came forward but could only keep her for a few days to try to extend her life. When they brought her back to the shelter yesterday, she was back on the euthanasia list with a deadline of 5pm.

When we realized she was at risk again, it was 4:43pm. We called the shelter immediately and they moved mountains to keep her alive until we could pick her up at 8am this morning! We are so grateful to their truly dedicated staff that were overjoyed to see her saved!

And now Kiki is safe forever! In the past 24 hours she’s been 17 minutes from death, picked up by a stranger, taken to the vet (where she was a wiggly champ) and is now headed to her foster home!

Give us a follow for more of Kiki’s journey!

Ways to help:
✨ Amazon or Chewy Wish Lists at https://love-a-bull.org/support/donate-to-our-mission/ - the journey doesn’t stop at the freedom ride, we need many items from the wish list to help with training things, giving healthy outlets for energy after the stressy shelter like chew toys, and much more! Any item on there helps Kiki decompress or find a home!

🍞Canela was rescued from a rural shelter not realizing she was carrying a precious secret. Her gentle eyes hid the fact that she was pregnant, and we were touched by her strength and resilience. What we thought would be 5-7 puppies, turned into 8. It has been a learning journey for many of our volunteers and we wouldn’t trade these sweet cinnamon treats for anything!

🥨We are now accepting adoption applications but the puppies will not be able to go to their forever homes for a few more weeks. Canela however is ready for her forever family now. Please fill out an adoption application on our website. They will also be at our two upcoming events, Puppies and Pilates and Doggy Yoga!

🥯Puppies definitely take a lot of time, care, and resources, especially eight at once. Any donations are appreciated so we can continue saving lives.

📍 Austin, TX - Busters dad was arrested one year ago and was awaiting trial. His landlord agreed to keep Buster on the property until he knew the outcome of that trial. But he was recently sentenced to 13 years in prison. He gave a list of people that may take Buster, but they all said no.

So there he sat. In his 15 foot circle. Waiting for help. Hoping for a better future.

He was attacked by another dog, suffering through summer heat, etc. We knew he needed a second chance! As soon as we met him, we knew he was a love bug!

He loves his foster dog sister, toys, and cuddles! Even with all he’s been through, he’s genuinely so happy just to have a future! He even walks great on leash and does great in his crate 💕

He’s already been neutered ✂️ and wears his donut cone (seriously, it’s a sprinkled donut design) with ease, smooshing his face on it during naps.

Apply to adopt Buster at Love-A-Bull.org and bring his silly smooshy face home!

Incoming! 🐾❤️ Meet our newest rescues: two chunky babes Posh & Becks and boy have they been on an adventure!

Posh (left/tan) is a sweet 2-year-old girl weighing in at 64 lbs. Becks (right/blue) is a handsome 3-year-old boy, 70 lbs of pure love. 💕

🤧These two were running the streets together and picked up by Animal Control. When they were picked up, Posh was actually pregnant and gave birth to one puppy in the shelter. The puppy was healthy and adopted. Their owner didn’t want them back, considering them “useless” after being spayed and neutered. They’d been at the shelter for 8 months and, despite being volunteer and staff favorites, were up for euthanasia because of space. Thanks to your support, they’re now safe and looking forward to finding their forever families! They can be split up, but would love future play dates!

If you are interested in meeting them, please fill out an adoption application to set up a meet and greet with our team! The application can be found through the link in our bio or our website!

Why did Bandit bring his pink bone to the foster? ✨Because he’s hoping to fetch a forever home!🤪

Bandit is a cheerful 1 year old who loves his toys, playing with other dogs and walks on his leash. You can’t help but smile when you look at him and his silly personality.🌞

👮‍♀️He was found by a sheriff’s deputy who was patrolling down a country road and saw this gorgeous boy sitting patiently in the middle of nowhere. 

Unfortunately, after arriving at the shelter, time was running out and he found himself on the euthanasia list due to kennel space. That’s when Love-A-Bull rescued him!

Meet Bandit by filling out an adoption application at the link in our bio. Our adoption team can answer your questions and walk you through our meet and greet process! We can’t wait to see this pup flourish in his forever home, is that you?

❤️Last Sunday Ravioli got to go to our Pedal for Pitties Event! He asked everyone who came for pets on the head and kisses before they jumped on their bike! After a morning of entertainment, he was pooped and fell asleep on the way home snuggled up to one of our volunteers!

🐶Ravioli is currently in foster with 2 other dogs and loves cuddling with them (swipe to the 3rd photo🥹). His foster says he’s a very easy going and is already potty trained. He does not jump on furniture uninvited!

Ravioli would make the best companion for someone looking for a side kick or an addition to the family! Visit our website or the link in our bio to fill out an adoption application! Applications help us get more info, it doesn’t lock you in 🏡✨
