YOU can help.

You don't need to have a large house or a lot of money.

Here are some ways you can help us help more bulldogs:

There are many other things that people can do to help rescue groups. Assisting rescue efforts can be about more than just about donating money or fostering dogs. I’ve copied a list of things that people can do to help with rescue efforts. Check the list over and see if there is something you think that you could do to help. No effort is too small or unimportant and we welcome all volunteers.

The list below was compiled by Stefanie Light, BCARN President:
The rescue job can be 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 Bulldog lovers
can help the rescue cause.

• 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.
