Pet-a-Bulls, Inc. Dog rescue in Albuquerque, NM

Pet-a-Bulls, Inc. is New Mexico’s all volunteer based “Bully” breed ADOPTION group. We carefully select dogs from City and County shelters across the State, ensure that all medical needs and vaccinations are in place and that each and every one of our fur~friends have the basic behavior training to automatically exhibit the skills required to be deemed “Ready-Made” family pets!

Pet-A-Bulls, Inc. was formed exclusively to address the overwhelming overpopulation and homeless pet problems in the state of New Mexico. While our primary focus is placed on American Bullys, American Staffordshire Terriers, American Bulldogs, Old English Bulldogs, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, all the various Mastiffs and other “Bully” type breeds, virtually all canine breeds are always considered as space permits. Keep an eye on our “Adoptable Dogs” page as you never know what you’ll find ~ we’ve had everything from a Dogo Argentino to a Bouvier des Flandres, to Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Border Collies and Labs to absolutely adorable “pure D genuine, certified, New Mexico specials” (undetermined mixed breeds with lovely personalities).

Pet-A-Bulls places our full focus on carefully selecting our dogs from high kill shelters in New Mexico, after they have been properly screened and evaluated, in a full on effort to prevent unnecessary euthanasia. All intakes are carefully evaluated and then placed into in-home foster with people appropriately matched for their care. We are NOT able to accept dogs directly from the public under our current structure.

Pet-A-Bulls is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt corporation and ALL donations are tax deductible.

Rescue FAQs

Pet-a-Bulls, Inc. is located in Albuquerque, NM and has regular adoption events in the Albuquerque, NM metropolitan area scheduled as "by appointment only" private showings several days a week to allow us to focus on making that "perfect match" for you and/or your family!

Remember, you save 2 lives when you adopt a rescued dog from us, the one you adopt and the one sitting in the shelter who gets to come into our rescue because a space opened for them.

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption application that all adopters are asked to complete. Our adoption fees vary slightly depending on the medical expense we have in the dog, but generally run $200 to $300 with a select few ranging as high as $500 to cover additional medical costs. Please email or call us about any dogs you are interested in ~ we would be delighted to discuss the process and the dog you are interested in and whether its a good fit for your lifestyle and family. All dogs are spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, up to date on shots and heart worm tested if over 6 months old. We also provide free training classes to help your adopted pet be the best pet ever. Bully breeds often have very few options once they are at a shelter and have one of the highest euthanasia rates of all breeds so please consider opening your home as an adopter or foster to this wonderful, often misunderstood breed!
