or go to www.detroitbulldogrescue.org We have been saving bullies for close to 25 years.

Detroit Bulldog Rescue (DBR) is a non-profit team of volunteers that takes in English and French Bulldogs who are surrendered by their owners, picked up from shelters or are strays from across Michigan (and surrounding areas if needed). In that time we have rehabilitated and found loving homes for hundreds of bulldogs. Once a bulldog comes in to DBR, medical issues are addressed, all dogs are heartworm tested, spayed or neutered, and brought up to date on vaccinations. Every dog lives in the home of their volunteer foster family. During their stay in their foster homes we get to know their personalities, temperaments and figure out what their ideal new home would be like (low/high energy, kids, other pets, etc). Once we feel they are ready, the dogs are then placed in their matched “forever” home. The dogs that come into DBR are typically 4-5 years of age, many are older. We generally do not get puppies. We are able to rescue these precious bulldogs solely thanks to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, and through the generous donations of our supporters.

100% of all donations and adoption fees go toward vet bills. The Detroit Bulldog Rescue is affiliated with the Bulldog Club of America Rescue Network (BCARN). To apply to adopt a rescue bulldog, complete an application at www.rescuebulldogs.org

ADOPTION PROCESS:

* Apply at rescuebulldogs.org
* Telephone interview
* Vet reference check
* Home check


This process can be quick or can take several months – please be patient. Remember that every step is dependent upon our volunteers. Adoptions are NOT first come first served; rather, we match the dog with the person/family we feel will be the best fit. Everything we do is based on what is best for the dogs in our care. We do everything to ensure they will have the best life, for the rest of their lives. THANK YOU for your interest and future support of Detroit Bulldog Rescue!

Courtney update! This adorable 5-year-old girl is showing a lot of improvements with her skin issues and allergy management. We hope she will be healthy enough to spay very soon but is expecting a heat cycle so her availability for adoption is unknown at this time.

Courtney has excellent house manners, walks well on a leash, and is good in the bath, car, and with the vet.

She loves to be close to her foster family but can be vocal when separated and does not like sharing attention with the resident bulldog. She will sleep/relax on dog beds and in a crate, but is happiest when snuggling on the couch with a person. Overall, she has a very sweet nature and will be a great companion for the right person/family.
