Currently in Care
All ABR dogs are housed in foster homes while we help them work through medical and behavioural concerns. These dogs are in our care and not yet ready to be adopted. Once they have been cleared by a vet and a trainer we will mark them as available and start reviewing applications.
Lola
Age: 8 years
Breed: English Bulldog
Gender: Female
Lola is an 8-year-old English Bulldog with a heart full of love and a playful spirit.
She’s the total package:
-
Great with kids and other dogs
-
Lives peacefully with a cat
-
Loves a good nap after playtime
-
Adores pets, belly rubs, and gives sweet kisses in return
Snow? She will roll & roll, oh she loves it
This smart girl already knows how to come, sit, and shake a paw. Plus, she’s a pro on her leash! Lola loves to let you know how much fun she’s having when playing, but she’s just as happy snuggling up for some quiet time.
​
Medical:
Sweet Lola is healing up beautifully from her dental and nares surgery in January! We’re keeping an eye on the lump on her neck, but it’s looking smaller—about pea-sized now.
For now, her soft palate surgery is on hold for 30 days, but she’s feeling good and soaking up all the love (and comfy naps) in her amazing foster home.
​
Stay tuned for more updates on this resilient girl!
​
Training:
Lola will be visiting her new trainer in coming days for her training assessment
​​
Any donations received in Lola's name will be used towards her medical and training expenses.

Breed: French Bulldog
Gender: Female
Miss Bella is a very sweet 3 year old French Bulldog.
She is described as extremely well behaved and well mannered. She is actively working on her prey drive and some separation anxiety. Her foster family lovingly refers to her as a "stage 5 clinger". ​
Bella is in good health and will undergo surgery for a spay in the upcoming weeks.
​
Any donation made in Bella's name will be used towards her medical and training expenses.
Bijou
Age: 3.5 years
Breed: French Bulldog
Gender: Female
This tiny and fragile girl comes to us with a limited background. Before Christmas, Saskatoon Animal Control reached out for help after Bijou was found on the streets, severely malnourished and in desperate need of care
As you can see, she's small, delicate, and in need of lots of love and nourishment to regain her strength. We're honored to be part of her journey to health and happiness.
​
Bijou's path to rehabilitation started with a trip to the vet. When she first arrived into care, she weighed just 6.45kg. But with plenty of TLC, hearty meals, and love, she’s now at 7.4kg and still gaining strength.
Her vet identified she was previously:
Treated for mites
Dewormed
Fully vaccinated
Microchipped by Saskatoon Animal Control
​
What’s next?
Our amazing vet is working on estimates for Bijou’s upcoming spay and dental surgeries. These will be scheduled once she reaches her optimal weight and her skin improves further.
Bijou’s journey to health is just beginning, and she’s already proven she’s a fighter. Keep following her story as she blossoms into her best self!
Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for being part of her transformation!
​
Donations made in Bijou's name will be used towards her mounting vet bills.

- He is dog selective and thrives in a home where he’s the only pet or where boundaries are clear.
- An active lifestyle with plenty of exercise is ideal for this energetic boy!
- Oliver is a smarty-pants who already knows all his basic commands.
- He’s friendly with people but can get overexcited, sometimes jumping or nipping at fingers/clothing.

Venus
Age: 3 years
Breed: French Bulldog
Gender: Female
Venus is described as a sweet, smart and quite girl. She needs to keep working on basic commands but is otherwise well behaved and easy going. She is quite timid and is working on gaining confidence and coming out of her shell.
​
Venus needs a couple of surgeries to correct her incredibly narrow nares and to shorten her soft palate. In fact, she is so uniquely shaped, that we have been referred to a specialist to perform her first surgery. Her second surgery should be pretty strait forward, however her spay has been delayed as she is currently in heat. Otherwise, Venus appears to be healthy and happy.
​
All donations received in Venus' name will be used towards her medical expenses.
Mac
Age: 8 years
Breed: English Bulldog
Gender: Male
Mac is a very friendly and affectionate 8 year old English Bulldog. He loves kids, is happy to be outside playing in the snow and hasn't shown any issues with other dogs. He is a laid back, easy going guy who is happy to follow his people around and snooze next to you no matter what you're doing.
Mac is suffering from some typical senior bully issues like joint pain and dry eyes. Our fosters are working closely with our trusted vets and we will do our best to get him in tip top shape.
​
Any donation made in Mac's name will be used towards his medical expenses.
