Fresno Bully Rescue: Franny, Fina & Bixby

by Terese Shaw


When choosing to adopt from a rescue, you give a second chance to a deserving pet and contribute to the welfare of animals in need. It's not only the deep fulfillment that comes from giving a home to an animal in need; happiness and the bond between a rescue dog, and its new family is immeasurable. The companionship, joy, and happiness is truly special for both parties, as is knowing you're giving a dog a second chance to experience an unparalleled bond, and the love they deserve. These rewards can be immeasurable.

Valley Animal Center: Overprotective dog returned twice; needs socialization, patience, and pool

by Alisia Sanchez


Taking home overly protective dogs can seem like a challenge to some. When an animal shows this kind of behavior, it does come from a place of aggression, but also from love. Dogs especially love wholeheartedly, and when they bond with someone, that love never goes away. With socialization and patience, a dog’s true loving nature can be expressed.

FBR rescues predominately bully breed dogs (American Pitbull Terriers, American Bulldogs, American Bullies, etc.). FBR is also one of, if not the only, rescue shelter for these types of dogs in the entire state of California that has a brick and mortar facility and adoption center.

Rogue Festival Reviews: Every Good Story Ends With One/Benjamin’s Passion/Bully Love
