There are always Bullies looking for homes, but not every home is suitable for that dog. Adopt-A-Bull Rescue, Inc. is a South Florida-based English Bulldog Rescue organization. Their goal is to assist English Bulldogs needing an “intervention” by connecting them with bulldog lovers and volunteers. You should either have the dog spayed or neutered before bringing it home or be given a coupon for a discount neuter. Many shelters will hold a dog for you for at least a day or more if you need time to think about it.
Since 2007, Florida English Bulldog Rescue has helped this wonderful breed; they are a small group of passionate volunteers about bulldogs. The English Bulldog is a good companion for novice pet parents and can adapt well to apartment life. Sadly, they are also surrendered to rescue shelters at a decent rate due to problems faced by their owners. In some cases, they can’t live with their initial placement, leading to shelter rescues re-homing them. If you consider adopting a bulldog from Buddies Thru Bullies, please review their Bulldog information on their website to ensure that the breed is suitable.
Find shelters or rescue groups close to your home to make multiple visits easier. Be sure to visit several before making a decision. We all have a soft spot for complex luck cases, after all. Dog rescues strike a balance between finding a suitable new home for their dogs and knowing that, without that new home, a good dog would have to be euthanized. All dogs should be temperament-tested before being shown to the public to weed out sick, aggressive, or emotionally unstable animals.
Shelter dogs are commonly believed to be broken, abused, or problematic. Shelter dogs are sometimes placed in shelters due to traumatic experiences or receive extra medical or behavioral care. Rather than adopt themselves, some families love fostering so much that they choose to become a resource to help the shelter save more lives by continuing to foster. According to the ASPCA, 3.2 million people adopt a rescue pet every year. In addition to adding a lovable new member to your family, adopting a dog is also a big responsibility. The entire household must be on board with the decision to adopt a dog and understand the commitments of time, money, and care that come with owning a pet.
If you do your homework, remain unemotional, and be patient, you’ll have a loyal new friend who will appreciate your gift more than you can imagine. Adopting a Bulldog is also a big responsibility, and they work hard to find the right dog for the right home. Please be patient as they look for the right Bulldog for you.
