Blue Ridge Bull Terrier Club Rescue

Blue Ridge Bull Terrier Club Rescue Blue Ridge Bull Terrier Club Rescue is a non-profit(501c3) dedicated to saving bull terriers in need. Please read and get to know the breed!

The Bull Terrier is a unique and wonderful companion dog; but is this the right breed for you? Breed Name: Bull Terrier or Miniature Bull Terrier

Description: The Bull Terrier is a loyal, affectionate, loving, scrappy, and humorous dog. He is best described as a 3 year old child in a dog suit, and also known as the clowns of the terrier group. It is strong-willed and therefore is not the ideal ch

oice of dog for a first time dog owner. The ideal owners would be a family who can provide leadership, loves horseplay, racing, and games like Frisbee. The Bull Terrier has the potential to become a first class companion dog, but in the wrong hands it can turn out to be a horrid disaster. The breed is recognized by the American Kennel Club in a standard size and miniature size, and by coat color (white or colored). Estimated Life Span: 10-14 years. Height: Standard Bull Terrier 20-22 inches. Miniature Bull Terrier 10-14 inches. Weight: Standard Bull Terrier 50-70 lbs. Miniature Bull Terrier – weight in proportion to height. Colors: White, fawn, red, brindle, and black brindle. Coat: Short and dense. They mildly shed their coat 2 times per year. Temperament: The temperament of the bull terrier can vary quite vastly from dog to dog. Generally speaking, they are known to be fun loving and clownish, courageous, friendly and often stubborn. They are loyal dogs who become very attached to their owners. Most bull terriers need a moderate to high level of supervision; they may become destructive when bored or left unsupervised for multiple hours of the day. Most bull terriers don't have a reliable recall (come when called). Terriers in general are independent thinkers; this breed often has an agenda of his own with a high desire of self satisfaction. It is highly advised to keep the bull terrier on a leash outside of the home, when a secure fenced yard is not available. This breed thrives when his owner possesses strong leadership, and utilizes positive reinforcement when teaching and training behaviors. While generally having a high energy level, some bull terriers can be quite sedentary, especially in their mid to elder years. They are often good with children when socialized; be advised this is a strong breed who may unintentionally injure a small child when playing exuberantly. Compatibility with other pets is questionable. Male bull terriers may not get along with other male dogs. Females usually get along with other females. Typically bull terriers get along best with opposite s*x dogs. Cats and other small pets generally do not mix well with this breed. Many, if not most (but not all) bull terriers have a high prey drive. Care & Exercise: Brush coat with a firm bristle brush and bathe only when necessary. Rubbing of the coat will keep it shiny and clean. This breed needs plenty of exercise, but does not do well in extreme heat/cold or on long runs. It is imperative to keep the bull terrier on a leash while exercising, if a fenced yard is not available. Health Concerns: Some bull terriers are born deaf. Other possible health concerns include (but not limited to) skin allergies, hereditary zinc deficiency, heart defects, OCD tail chasing, primary lens luxation (miniature bull terrier). History: At one time a ferocious fighter, the Bull Terrier was bred around 1830 by crossing the English bulldog with the now extinct White English Terrier. The aim was to get a lighter, more agile fighting dog. They were successful in developing type however, the Bull Terrier did not succeed well as a fighting dog. Now the breed has become a polite, obedient, and loyal family dog, with an irresistible sense of humor. Registries: AKC, ANKC, CKC, FCI (Group 3), KC (GB), UKC

****ADOPTION PENDING****

Spuds is a 7yo, 65lb neutered male with a handsome white coat who lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He has a wonderful balance of playful energy and couch-potato charm. While he still gets the occasional case of the zoomies and loves a good play session, he'd much rather spend most of the day lounging comfortably. In fact, if you interrupt his relaxation to suggest a trip outside, he'll happily respond with his signature stubborn side-eye. Spuds adores people and is full of affection, making him a loving, happy companion who never meets a stranger.

With other dogs, Spuds is dog-selective and does best with playful, submissive companions who understand his rough-and-tumble bully play style. He won't go looking for trouble, but he won't back down if challenged. His favorite games involve spinning, barrel rolls, and enthusiastic chasing, regardless of the other dog's size. On walks, he either ignores passing dogs or politely waits in hopes of saying hello without barking or pulling. He walks reasonably well on leash, though he's easily distracted and has a habit of weaving or suddenly planting himself like an immovable boulder. His compatibility with cats is unknown, but his prey drive appears to be low.

Spuds is a wonderfully easy dog to live with. He's fully housebroken with perfect potty manners, crate trained (and actually chooses his crate as one of his favorite sleeping spots), and can comfortably stay home alone for up to 12 hours, spending most of that time sleeping. He isn't destructive, although he enjoys a good chew toy, and each night he happily rotates between his crate bed, couch, and floor bed in his own room. He's up to date on vaccinations and doesn't require a special diet. His only current medical concerns are a few non-urgent growths, an ulcer on his gums, and some general dental issues.

One of Spuds' greatest strengths is his charming personality. He's incredibly food motivated, especially when Mintie Chews are involved. A treat-filled toy can keep him entertained for hours. He has a hilarious habit of chugging water like a champion, sometimes needing a reminder to slow down, and absolutely loves rolling across the grass on sunny days. Nail trims are his least favorite activity, and somehow he transforms into what feels like a 300-pound dog whenever it's bath time. Between his legendary sassy side-eye, surprise cuddle attacks, and endless affection, Spuds is a lovable goofball who's sure to bring laughter and companionship to the right home.

We want nothing more than for Spuds to get a home of his own and be absolutely spoiled. Can you open your home and your heart to this adorable gentleman? If so, please apply here:

***COURTESY POST***

Meet Shayla! This sweet and spunky girl has been calling the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland in Westbrook, Maine home since September of 2025- far too long in our eyes.

Shayla is 5 ½ years young, has never met a human she didn’tlove, and is looking for someone with breed specific experience to welcome her home. Shayla’s ideal home is one where she can be the only animal. She previously lived with another dog, however, has not had a successful introduction in the shelter environment and will need time to decompress on her own. Small animals are too enticing for her terrier mind, so no cats or small animals.

Shayla would love a medium energy family who understands the art of maintaining a good balance between zoomie tornadoes, regular walks and some good old fashioned couch rotting time. Shayla loves to match energy, and once even tried copying a staff member doing jumping jacks! Because she matches energy so well, the shelter is recommending kids 8+ who can understand how their actions affect her behavior.

Shayla is one of a kind and carries the bull terrier reputation with pride.

If you would like to meet her, email [email protected] for more information! The shelter is open 11am-4pm with the exception of Wednesdays, when they are closed.

Meet Magoo - Please share and help this adorable senior find his furever home for the holidays!

Current Location: Longmeadow, MA

Magoo is a laid-back, sweet, yet still a little spicy, senior looking for his furever home through Blue Ridge Bull Terrier Rescue. This fall, Magoo found his way to a shelter after he was discovered tied to a fence and abandoned in Connecticut. Since getting his freedom from the shelter, he has been in a foster home where he has been able to get all of the medical care that he needs. But, unfortunately, he isn’t able to get the full attention that he needs. He has to spend quite a bit of time alone due to his foster’s work schedule and responsibilities of other pets in the home. At Magoo’s age, estimated to be around 12 years old, he deserves to have his own home and his own family that is able to dedicate time to spoiling him. Magoo is pretty quiet and low maintenance. He enjoys a great nap on a fluffy bed, or to curl up at your feet, or maybe take a nice little snooze beside you on the couch. Don’t let his age fool you though, Magoo still loves to trot around his fenced backyard, explore, and attempt some hucklebutts. Most of all - he absolutely loves to trance! He enjoys playing with soft toys and maybe playing a little fetch. He is nondestructive (he’s had quite a few teeth removed recently) but still has a little bit of that classic bull terrier stubborn naughty streak in him. Magoo is up to date on his vaccines, weighs in at 55lbs (thinned out due to his age) and has the expected health of a dog his age; showing some signs of arthritis and deafness. He is crate trained, housebroken, and can be walked on a leash. He has a good appetite and eats a normal diet. Magoo has been living with other dogs in his foster home and been allowed to spend time with a female bull terrier. He was a little overexcited at first, but he is nonreactive and just wants to play. Dogs about his size who won’t be too hard on this older guy are preferred. While he can be pretty oblivious, he still shows that natural bull terrier prey drive, so a home with no cats or critters is best. Magoo will do well in a home with older children who can respect his age and gentle handling needs.

We want nothing more than for Magoo to get a home of his own so he can live out his golden years being absolutely spoiled. Can you open your home and your heart to this adorable senior gentleman? If so, please apply here: https://www.brbtc.org/adoption-process/
