Volunteering to Help Bulldog Rescue:

The rescue job can be very difficult and time-consuming. While not everyone can (or should) make the commitment to provide the full range of rescue services (providing foster care, screening applicants, doing home inspections, making placement decisions, and so on), there are many ways that people who love Bulldogs can help the rescue cause.

Foster Application

Here are a few ideas:

• Donate food, medications, equipment and supplies. Please check with a local rescue group to find out what is needed.
• Organize or help with fund-raising events.
• Donate salable items for raffles, yard sales, flea markets, etc.
• Provide temporary housing for rescued Bulldogs, even if only overnight in an emergency.
• Pick up dogs from shelters and transport them to the foster home or the vet.
• Help local rescuers with socializing and training rescued dogs.
• Give advice to current Bulldog owners to help them keep the Bulldog instead of giving him/her up to the rescue program.
• Tell people about the BCA rescue program and encourage them to adopt rescued dogs.
• Contact animal shelters and veterinarians to get their commitment to call Bulldog rescue when they know of a Bulldog that needs a new home.
• Post rescue flyers or business cards at vets offices, animal shelters, pet supply stores, and other places dog lovers visit.
• Go with rescuers to "rescue days" at pet stores, vets offices, etc. to publicize rescue and talk to prospective adopters.
• Educate people about the importance of buying puppies only from reputable breeders who observe the BCA code of ethics.
• Tell everyone you know never to buy puppies from casual breeders, pet stores or puppy mills.

Please contact a local BCA Rescue Network group to volunteer your help. Contact information can be found at The BCA Rescue Roster.
