Badass Animal Rescue

Dave Bautista may share a name with an action hero, but this guy is much more Guardians of the Couch than Guardians of the Galaxy. Blockbuster looks, leading-man charm, a serious weakness for cuddles—what more could you ask for?

🚹 3-year-old, 60-pound male
🏠 Originally from Selma, Alabama
🤍 Friendly, affectionate, and fully committed to Velcro-dog life
🛋 World-class cuddler who prefers to be wherever his people are
⚡ High-energy with a flair for dramatic post-walk zoomies
🚶‍♂️ Loves walks, outdoor adventures, and exploring the neighborhood
🎾 Fetch fan, chew toy enthusiast, and professional Kong connoisseur
🐕 Has lived with other dogs and generally does well with clear boundaries and structure
👋 Treats friends, visitors, and strangers like potential future best friends
😴 Equally talented at action sequences and marathon naps complete with impressive snoring

Like his namesake, Dave Bautista has range. One minute he's racing around the yard like he's filming an action scene; the next he's curled up beside you with his head in your lap, ready for his close-up.

If you're looking for a big-hearted sidekick who brings equal parts adventure, comedy, and companionship, Dave Bautista is ready for his starring role as your new best friend.

JUNE IS FOSTER A PET MONTH! 💚🐶

And we can tell you: we are in urgent need of foster homes RIGHT NOW.

Our goal is to recruit 25 new foster homes by June 20th so that we can continue saying "yes" to dogs in need, including a group of 18 dogs that need urgent rescue from the island of Dominica. The reality is simple: we can only rescue when we have foster homes available.

If you've ever thought about fostering, this is your sign.
