Needless to say, the last few months have been absolutely insane and the rescue world has been no different. Between virtual animal meet-and-greets, a very large demand for adoptions, battling absolutely every technology glitch that has ever existed, and fighting back the urge to hug new adopters, Bounce is doing it’s best to adapt with the times.

If you have followed us throughout the years, you’ll notice we primarily focus on canines. Historically, we have always had more canine foster homes. However, every now and then we can’t resist getting our hands on some litter box users. They’re independent, smart, and quite frankly, run the world.

Cue stage right: Jet.

He came to us from a kill-shelter in northern Texas with his mom (Della - she is also available for adoption!), and two littermates. Unfortunately, when testing the family for a viral disease called feline leukemia, Jet tested positive. Feline leukemia suppresses the cat’s immune system and often results in cancer and various blood disorders. While Jet will not show symptoms for some time, his life expectancy is 3-5 years. Most veterinarians recommend humane euthanasia once symptoms start to appear. Worse yet, feline leukemia is contagious to other cats, so little Jet can’t have any feline friends or be an indoor/outdoor cat.

With so much death and despair occurring, Jet’s cruel irony just about killed us. But, Bounce is doing our best to adjust with the times, so we are rallying. We are rallying for an amazing home to give Jet a few years of skin scratches, catnip, and unconditional love.
To any adopter that is interested, we want to forewarn you that he’s a pretty popular guy. With so many fans behind him, his adoption fee is sponsored, and updates will be demanded often.

Are you Jet’s person? If so, please apply at www.bounceanimalrescue.org.

It’s been a very, very, very rough year. There are no words in the world that can encapsulate the uncertainty, fear, immense pain, frustration, and insecurity the United States and world feels right now.

We’re doing the only thing we know how to do at this moment in time….posting puppy pictures. We hope this brings a smile to your face and relieves some burden in your heart.

Good afternoon friends & followers!

In order to follow the CDC’s recommendations for COVID-19 protocols, we will be suspending our weekly Saturday adoption events until given the clear. Adoptions for individual animals will occur by private adoption appointment.

As always, our foster homes are happy to speak to approved applicants prior to meeting up to ensure compatible matches. Furthermore, they are happy to accommodate video chat, text messages, pictures, etc. to reduce in-person contact.
While our adoption appointment objects are thoroughly disinfected before and after use (writing pens, clipboards, tables), adoption paperwork, medical records, and adoption fees can also be sent electronically. Private appointments will be scheduled in intervals to avoid large gatherings of people.

Thank you!

P.S. To keep your spirits high, our adoption listings will be updated today!

Friends & followers, We’ve been chewing on our

Friends & followers,

We’ve been chewing on our COVID-19 action plan all day. This is a complicated situation for Bounce because we are volunteer and foster home-based, so we already have limited operational interaction with the general public. The one chink in our armor is our weekly Saturday adoption events. We have thought through multiple options and not one seems to be exactly perfect.
As of March 13, this is our action plan*:
1. What’s absolutely brilliant about Bounce is we battle communicable diseases on a daily basis. While they do not infect humans and our dogs complete a 14-day quarantine within foster care, parvovirus and distemper, are lethal and highly contagious viruses amongst canines. There is a reason we bleach EVERYTHING. We bleach before, during, and after events. We bleach floors, leashes, dog bowls, holding kennels, etc. We have hand sanitizer hanging off every kennel and round pen. We are armed with aerosol disinfectants for writing pens, clipboards, event tables, laptops, etc. We are already cleaning psychopaths.

2. To protect our foster homes, volunteers, adopters, and event attendees, we will be modifying our normal adoption event schedule until further notice. Our adoption events (starting March 14) will be held 10-11:30am. Hold times (starting March 21), will be from 10-10:30am. This will allow pre-approved applicants without holds the opportunity to view available dogs with the shortened timeframe.

3. If you are sick, stay away. We will send our love from afar, but respectfully don’t want to be near you.

4. If you have a compromised immune system, stay away. Don’t be insane, we need you.

5. Our foster homes will not be required to stay at adoption events. While we are huge advocates of compatible matching, these conversations can always take place over the phone prior to the event.

6. If you are not comfortable attending an event, we do schedule midweek private adoption appointments. Please be mindful that this is pending staff, volunteer, foster home, and vetting schedules. Also be aware that private appointments often take place in public areas for the comfortability and privacy of both adopter and (cont. in comments)

Another Thursday, another day to crawl through to

Another Thursday, another day to crawl through to get to Friday. To help us all get on with it, here are some puppies. You’re welcome.

While you might think we’re yanking your chain, this particular litter if 50% Boston terrier and 50% German shepherd. No joke, we have the pictures of the parents. In exchange for this exotic litter, we spayed and neutered the parents at no cost to the owner, which is an absolutely solid deal.

This litter is up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spay/neutered, microchipped, and ready for adoption starting Saturday. To call one of these Thursday saviors yours, please visit www.bounceanimalrescue.org.

Once there was an adorable Staffordshire bull terr

Once there was an adorable Staffordshire bull terrier by the name of Sam. Despite Sam being the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen, she wasn’t well cared for and when left to her own devices, she quickly found herself pregnant. Luckily, Bounce supports single mothers and took her and her litter under our wing. After many weeks (and every ailment you can think of), the family is finally healthy and ready for adoption. 
Both Sam and her puppies really enjoy food, other dogs, and people. (We like two of those things.) While Sam is okay with cats, she would do best with dog savvy felines. Porter, Sam’s resident foster home cat, says he has no problem with her, but he’s also a “20lb” Maine coon. (He’s 20lbs on a good day.) Given the family’s bully breed lineage, they absolutely adore children and would love to sit under their dinner chairs and be snuck table scraps.
