This is a current list of some of the Boerboels that are available for adoption in North America. I will update this periodically. These dogs may be courtesy cross posts, available from different Rescues, or owner placements that we are trying to help. Please follow the link on each dog to get additional information and who to contact if you think you are interested in any of these dogs:
Updated 9/2016:
Male Boerboels Available for Adoption
Apa — Apa is a 3-year-old brindle male imported from Tigerberg Boerboels in South Africa. He is housebroken, obedient and loves to play. He loves his family, but he is aloof and suspicious with strangers until they earn his trust. He will do best in an adult home with someone who has experience with dominant breeds. Apa is an owner surrender due to a lack of time, and is currently located in Wisconsin.

What to do about Omaha
I have a female boerboel that has been fixed. She will be 2yrs old on July 31st of this year. She was working as one of my service dogs but has become way to protective of me. She has bite one nephew n neice of mine. Luckily they werent hurt. It could have been very bad. Both instances the kids came running towards me unexpectedly and Omaha sprung into action. I just recently had her go through a board n train. But when it comes to close quarters she is all about protection. I dont want to put her down or give her up. I just dont know what to do. Thought about a rescue or finding someone where she would be only dog, no kids type family. Really feel as though i have failed her and struggling with if i give her another chance it could be very bad if she bites another person.
I am a vet struggling physically and psychologically and between her n peyton male presa canario they have done wonders for me. I swore to them i would always be just as loyal to them as they have been to me. Am I giving up to easily?

It is obviously tough to consider but have you thought about muzzle training? It sucks to have to resort to that but it is an option. Also, educating people about your animals prior to them being introduced can go a long way towards preventing this issue in the future….with kids, though, it’s obviously more difficult.
Prior to giving her up I would exhaust the training and educating options available. Boerboel’s are very smart dogs and are quick to learn once you figure out how to communicate.
I’d definitely say keep trying with her. Best of luck!

I have a 3 year old male Boerboel named Apa. He is Brindle color with a white chest. He is a great dog but, I feel due to my long hours at work, he needs more attention and socialization. I brought him back from South Africa after I finished Peace Corps and he has been with me ever since. He has been through obedience training, walks very well on leash and off, and completely house trained. He is very good around female dogs, but has shown some alpha dog characteristics toward other male dogs. He is good with new people, so long as they don’t show him too much attention at first. Once he is comfortable around a new person, he becomes like family. It breaks my heart to see him go, but I know it will be for the best when he finds a better home.
Please feel free to email me at: bisley.nick@gmail.com. I am located in central Wisconsin and would be open to discussing travel arrangements.
Thanks!
