Adopt A Bulldog

Finding and working with or starting your own French Bulldog rescue can be a lot of fun.  Not only do you get to meet a lot of great dogs, but you get to work with some great people as well.  Before you get involved though you need to set some boundaries about what you will and will not do.  This way you do not find yourself over extended.Finding a French Bulldog rescue to work with can sometimes be very hard to do depending on where you live in the country.  If you live near a larger city, than this should not be a problem.  If you live in a sparsely lived area, than good luck finding one.  You might have to settle for running a general dog rescue and may not be able to specialize in French Bulldogs.

Starting a French Bulldog rescues can be fun to do, and since it is your organization you get to set the rules!  If you do decide to start one, make sure your family supports your decision.  Running a rescue also places strain on other family members, even if they are not directly involved in the rescue.

Also make sure you have some financial reserve set aside for these dogs, many of which could be sick.  For every dog you rescue make sure you set aside at least a $300 dollars per rescued dog.

Also you may want to contact several vet clinics in the area to announce your rescue and see if you can get some reduced fees on medical expenses.

Also contact the shelters and other dog rescues in your area to announce your new rescue.  This way they know to alert you when they do find some French Bulldogs that need to be rescued.

Also you should look for some volunteers to help you, since it is hard to run a rescue all by yourself.  Put an ad in the newspaper and see if some people respond.

Remember, to set boundaries about what you will and won’t be doing.  It is too easy to get caught up rescuing all these dogs and in the process forgetting about yourself and your family.
