Milo was ADOPTED!!!! Milo has found his forever home.
Milo joined the NBBR family as an owner surrender. Milo’s family had some changes, and they were no longer able to provide the life that they wanted for him. Milo was spending much of his time in a crate without any interaction. The family decided that it would be best for everyone if they could find Milo a new home. They contacted NBBR and asked if we could help. Luckily for Milo we did have an open foster home waiting for him. Milo joined the NBBR family as part of our Foster to Adopt program. This program is for those families that have been approved to adopt but for whatever reason, there isn’t a match with any or our current dogs. Each of our Foster to Adopt families, agree to take in a new pup sight unseen and care for them. All Foster to Adopt families have the first right of refusal when it comes to adopting their foster. IF for some reason their foster is not a match for them (it is very, very, very rare) the family agrees to foster that pup until we are able to find the correct adoptive family.
Upon arrival to NBBR, Milo’s first step was to visit the clinic to determine what he might need medically. Milo’s list of medical needs was relatively short: he needed to be neutered, have his vaccinations updated and a nail trim. Other than those three things, Milo was heartworm negative and given a clean bill of health and was ready to go to his foster family.
Like many of our Foster to Adopt families not every day was rainbows and butterflies with Milo. Milo first couple of days were great and THEN Milo started to exhibit what is commonly known in our Rescue as “Small Man Syndrome”. Milo decided that he needed to be the Big Man on Campus in his new neighborhood. He was trying to make his presence known with all the dogs he would meet, especially the bigger dogs. The bigger they were the more that Milo thought HE needed to be in charge. After a few days, we received a call from Foster Mom saying that she didn’t think Milo would be a fit for her family BUT after sleeping on it, we received another call stating that they were dedicated to Milo. They had found a local trainer that was going to work with Milo to see if his “Short Man Syndrome” could be addressed. The good news was that YES, in fact Milo, responded to his training and began to show improvement. We also discussed with Milo’s foster family that the training was for them too, so that they could learn how to interact with Milo. The key to Milo’s training program’s success will be consistency. So, after several weeks of consistent training it was determined from everyone involved (Milo included), that he had found his forever home. Milo agreed to reward his Foster to Adopt families commitment to him with continued good behavior, a win win for everyone, especially Milo. As you can see from this example, not every foster or foster to adopt or adoption is a simple as many think. Any time a dog is uprooted from their previous life and plunked into a new strange environment it can be very stressful, but with some work, dedication and commitment it can be a match made in heaven. Congratulations to Milo and his new forever family. Thank you for sticking with our little guy

Hello to everyone on this cold wintery afternoon.
1/14.2024 Update:
Milo has been with us since 1/10 and is already fully at home with us. He’s eating and sleeping normally and is also a real champ at going outside to potty. He loves his twice daily walks, although this morning I had to patiently explain that since it was 13 degrees outside we have to forgo today’s walks. Although disappointed, he was a real gentleman about it.

Please welcome Milo to No Borders Bulldog Rescue. Milo is a 6-year-old male brindle French Bulldog that weighs 36 lbs.
Milo joins the NBBR family as an owner surrender. Milo’s family has had some changes, and they were no longer able to provide the life that they wanted for him. Milo was spending much of his time in a crate without any interaction. The family decided that it would be best for everyone if they could find Milo a new home. They contacted NBBR and asked if we could help. Luckily for Milo we did have an open foster home waiting for him.
Upon arrival to NBBR, Milo’s first step was to visit the clinic to determine what he might need medically. Milo did not arrive with any vet records, so the first thing on the list was vaccinations. Milo was also test for heartworm. Physically Milo needed to be neutered and definitely needed a nail trim. We received great news that Milo was heartworm negative and was given a clean bill of health. He received his pedicure and a microchip. Milo was also able to get on the surgery schedule to be neutered.
A couple things that you notice when initially meet Milo. First, Milo is thiicc. No body shaming here, however if you are looking of a petite dainty little boy, it’s best you keep scrolling. Milo is a big, muscular, athletic guy. The second thing you notice is Milo’s beautiful, shiny coat. Milo sparkles when he is out in the sun. Aside from his physical appearance, Milo is a very happy and energetic boy. Milo loves to move… so much so it is sometimes hard for him to settle down. He is always moving and so much that it was very difficult to get clear pictures of him. The vast majority of the pictures we took were just a little black blur. Milo appears to get along well with everyone he meets. He has not been exposed to cats since joining NBBR. One unique thing about Milo, he loves plush toys AND he does not destroy them. He came from a home with younger children, and he was infamous for “borrowing” the kid’s stuffed toys, especially their squishmallows. Milo never destroyed any, he would just take them to his crate for a little cuddle time. Currently Milo is with his new foster home adjusting to his new surroundings. From all accounts we have received Milo is doing great. Stay tuned as we learn more about Milo and what makes him tick.
