VOLUNTEERS NEEDED -- CAN YOU HELP? Bullmastiff Rescue in Florida is in desperate need of those who can foster or those who might be interested in adopting. SE Florida, and the Miami area in particular are most in need of volunteers. A record number of dogs are being surrendered to shelters, picked up as strays, or coming directly to us from owners who are losing their homes. Please, if you can help in any capacity, fill out the Volunteer Application, and send to our National Rescue Coordinator, Virginia Rowland, at the address on the bottom of the form.
Please contact Melissa Bausman at linmor2@aol.com for more information about helping in Florida. Thank you!

The American Bullmastiff Association Rescue Service's (ABARS) mission is to find homes for unwanted Bullmastiffs that come from shelters or are owner surrenders from people whose lifestyle or financial situation has changed. Occasionally ABARS will get Bullmastiffs that have been abandoned at a local veterinarian's office or from a good citizen that has found the dog and exhausted all means to locate the dog's owner. ABARS is not a placement service for our members' unwanted or returned dogs.We do accept owner surrenders from people who have purchased their dogs at pet shops or backyard breeders, but most of the dogs we place are of unknown origin and unknown age. ABARS will not rehome a Bullmastiff that has any history of aggression to adults or children. ABARS cannot accept for placement dogs that are Bullmastiffs mixes - we only take dogs that are known to be Bullmastiffs or can be represented as such. The Bullmastiffs are neutered or spayed before they are adopted and receive all the vet care they need so they can be represented as being in good health. We rarely have dogs under six months of age and the average age of the dogs we place is around 2 years. Anyone interested in adopting a dog must first complete and return the adoption application to the National Rescue Coordinator Virginia Rowland. We prefer that it be done on line if at all possible. Anyone adopting a dog must pay a fee which will reimburse the Rescue Service for the expenses involved in adopting the dog from the shelter and getting the necessary veterinary attention. The fee normally is $400 with reduced fees for elderly dogs. ABA Bullmastiff Rescue is full of incredible success stories! On our Rescue Heroes Page, we've highlighted a few dogs and owners who have achieved big! Please consider donating to rescue using PayPal! Every donation helps to get these wonderful dogs into the loving homes they deserve! * All proceeds from the sales benefit Bullmastiff Rescue. Thank you for your support!

Please help Sumo! This poor boy's sad story is here, on 
My name is Clara and I need your help! I was saved from a high kill shelter, my foster mom believes I was "thrown away" after I could no longer produce puppies. 
MeetFrankie! He was rescued from a puppy mill in Missouri where he was
one of over 1,000 dogs seized. He is 4 years old and just now learning
how to be a "real" dog. He didn't know what grass was and was afraid
to walk on it, he doesn't know how to eat food out of a bowl since his
food was simply dumped on the ground, and he doesn't know what toys or
love from humans is. He also has several inherited abnormalities
in his eyes and other painful problems that need to be fixed. He has
abnormal eyelashes that grow and rub on his eyes every time he blinks
(distichiasis) , his eyelids roll in and also rub on his eyes
(entropion), and he doesn't make enough tears to lubricate his eyes
(KCS). Every day is a painful day for Frankie. He is now on daily eye
drops to help ease the discomfort, but the only cure for this is
surgery. Sadly these are inherited abnormalities that were likely
passed on to many of the puppies he sired while in the mill. He also
had abcessed and rotten teeth that made it painful for him to eat. We
are raising money to help pay for his care.
