Dear Prospective Dogue de Bordeaux Owner:

Thank you for your interest in adopting a Bordeaux through the Dogue de Bordeaux Rescue of the Dogue de Bordeaux Society of America, Inc.  We request a donation of $450.00 for a Bordeaux of any age.  Price may be negotiable depending on the Dogues health.  Additional donations to the program are gratefully and gladly accepted.

The dogs that become available for adoption are dogs that are referred to the club, if for any reason, they are homeless and the breeder cannot be located.  Usually they range from one to eight years of age.  These dogs come from a variety of circumstances, including animal shelters.

When a Bordeaux is released to the club, it is taken to a veterinarian for a medical check up if not already done at the shelter.  If necessary vaccinations are not given at the shelter, this to will be arranged for.  The dog's temperament is evaluated and we attempt to locate any past history of the dog.  All dogs are neutered or spayed before release to their new home.

Many times Bordeaux are not readily available for adoption, this is good news because it means that this ancient breed is being well cared for.  The bad news is your wait may be longer tan you had hoped.  Please be patient with the program, you will not be forgotten.  All prospective adoptive homes will be in a main database maintained by the Rescue Coordinator.

The rescue strives to bring together Bordeaux and families in the same geographical area in order to keep transportation costs to a minimum.  However, if you are willing to help with transportation and/or costs to adopt from another are, it is possible to ship the dogs across the country.

We are looking for permanent loving homes where the Bordeaux will receive top quality care.  These Dogues need a special place where they will be appreciated as a companion dog and part of the family, but please keep in mind a Bordeaux is not the breed for everyone.

Please refer to the Dogue de Bordeaux Society Website, www.ddbsa.org  for in-depth information on the breed.

In order to be considered as an adoptive home, you must complete the Family Profile form and return it to the Rescue Coordinator. This can be done on line.

Thank you for considering a rescued Dogue de Bordeaux
