📍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!

🍞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?

Canela’s puppies are growing and becoming very active. Watching their little personalities come out has been such a sweet journey for us! That being said we could really use some help with items. Our top needs on our Amazon wish list (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/21IYU6P1BBVMH?ref_=wl_share) is teething toys, XL potty pads, and food. This is a great way to give back to our rescue if you are not local to Austin but still want to help us❤️

We can’t thank everyone enough for the encouragement and kindness with Canela and her litter. We cant do it without 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 🏡✨

🎉Cheers to 3 adoptions in May🎉

What makes this month’s adoption so special is all three of them went to multi-dog homes! If you don’t know about our adoption process, we always do a meet and greet with the whole family to make sure it works for everyone!

We are so thankful for our Adopters who choose to give our dogs second chances no matter what their challenges might be.

We say it all the time but adoption is the best choice you will ever make! Getting to see a dog come alive in your home after experiencing hardship is truly remarkable⭐️

We have a lot of great dogs available and will fit seamlessly into your home! Reach out if you are interested in adoption and have questions for us💛

✨ Canela’s puppies are two weeks old! ✨

A few weeks ago, we rescued Canela from the kill list at a local rural Texas shelter.

Our vet opened her up to spay and found almost fully grown puppies due in a little more than 1 week!

A foster stepped up and a team of 20 volunteers came together to commit to supply runs, potty breaks, clean up, medical coordination, etc. We’ve all been figuring it out as we go!

On 5/13, her foster heard a tiny puppy sound and ran in to find the first puppy born! Canela gave birth to 6 more about every hour following…then surprised everyone with an 8th about 2-3 hours later!

📸What’s better than 1 picture of Dove but 5 pictures of her! She is the cuddle master and treat connoisseur! 🍬 With her fluffy coat and soulful eyes, she’s the real deal when it comes to doggy love. Dove’s not just any pooch, she’s got years of experience in the cuddle department and knows exactly how to work those puppy eyes to get what she wants.

🩵Now, here’s why adopting an older dog like Dove is the best decision you’ll ever make. She’s already a pro at the whole doggy thing, which means no messy puppy shenanigans for you! And let’s not forget, older dogs like Dove have hearts full of gratitude. You’ll be amazed at the love and loyalty she’ll show you every single day!

🍨But here’s the scoop, Dove’s still on the lookout for her forever home, a place where she can lounge in the sun and snuggle up on the couch. So, if you’re ready for a lifetime of tail wags and sloppy kisses, why not make Dove a part of your family? Meet Dove by filling out the adoption application, or shoot us a DM with any questions you have about our adoption process! 🏡❤️

Let us formally introduce you to Mama Canela and her 8 puppies!🍼

Canela and her babies are doing well. They all have strong appetites and Canela is taking wonderful care of them! While she is nursing she has to eat the high-calorie puppy food, which she is absolutely loving!

These puppies have a long way to go and are not available for adoption. When they become available for adoption, we will notify everyone through our social media so don’t forget to sign up to be notified when we post! Our adoption team is focused on getting our available dogs into their forever homes so please hold off on contacting them for puppy questions.

🎉Cheers to 8 adoptions in April🎉

What makes this achievement particularly heartening is the notable trend of adult dog adoptions! Witnessing these mature dogs embark on new chapters of companionship and love is truly special. With many of our seasoned companions finding loving homes alongside existing canine family members. Puppy adoptions are also extra special, because we know that pup will be loved from the beginning! It’s a reminder that regardless of age or background, every pet deserves a chance at happiness!⭐️

We say it all the time but adoption is the best choice you will ever make! Getting to see a dog come alive in your home after experiencing hardship is truly remarkable⭐️ We have a lot of great dogs available and will fit seamlessly into your home! Reach out if you are interested in adoption and have questions for us💛
