Velvet Baby Hippo...
Too much?
We thought so, so we settled on calling this gorgeous Chonk- Sumo, and BOY, has he lived up to his name.



He loves his new people so much that he wants to be with them ALWAYS, so, even though he HATES stairs (look at those stumpy lil'leggers), he is so happy to parkour over any barrier in his way to FIND HIS HUMANS.



Big boy is getting the medical care that he needs and will soon be introduced ot his foster siblings.
We truly believe that Sumo is going to be a gentle-giant type, way smarter than he looks, with a heart bigger than Texas.



Pupdates coming, and we've already started his list of potential families, so apply now for your chance to call this velvet hippo YOURS

Austin Bulldog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Austin Bulldog Rescue will consider adoptive families in the Austin, surrounding areas, and the northwest San Antonio area. This is simply due to logistics and distance of travel for our volunteers. Our goal is to make the best rescue match taking into consideration the Bulldog’s background and your family’s needs. Every Bulldog is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. We take all these factors into consideration when making a furever-home match. We are very careful about the placements we make. We do our best to match the right Bulldog with the right adoptive home, because we want this to be the dog's permanent home. If you are willing to wait for the right rescue to be matched to you, you are an ideal candidate for ABR. As our success rate proves, these precious dogs are well worth the wait. If acquiring a dog is a time sensitive issue for you or your family, rescue may not be for you.

Sumo is from Austin Bulldog Rescue
