Southern California Bulldog Rescue provides shelter, re-homing assistance, and funds for medical treatment for over 100 bulldogs each year. These dogs come to us from animal shelters, other rescue groups, and owners who wish to surrender their purebred bulldogs. We help bulldogs in the Southern California area find suitable homes. Our network consists of many volunteers who foster, do home checks, transport, and place bulldogs who come into our program. Over 1000 bulldogs have been placed thru rescue in Southern California during the last 10 years. We rely entirely on donations for support.
APPLY - Visit our online application (when you apply thru this website, please check your email, sometimes spam folders, as you’ll need to acknowledge and return the email.) NOTE: If you don’t live in Southern California or have an unfenced pool or spa, please email us at adoptions@socalbulldogrescue.org prior to submitting an application so we can discuss your situation. REVIEW OF APPLICATION - A volunteer will review your application and forward to a volunteer in your area. The volunteer will contact you via email or phone to coordinate a time to visit you and your family in your home. HOME VISIT - We need all family members available for the home visit. This gives us all a chance to talk about rescue and we can learn about your expectations for a rescue bulldog. If you have existing pets, it gives us a chance to meet them, too. We also check security of gates, fences and screen doors (if applicable). FINDING YOUR BULLY - Upon approval, we’ll immediately contact our foster families, describe your situation and look for a bulldog we think fits your home dynamics. We rarely get puppies. Typically, we’ll send you photos and a short bio on a dog we think will work in your situation. If you are interested, we’ll put you in touch with the foster home. You’ll then coordinate a meeting spot to meet the dog. Please keep in mind that not all bulldogs are listed. Sometimes a dog comes into rescue and is placed in an approved home very quickly. Please be patient during the finding your bulldog process. We need to make sure we have the perfect match for you and our rescue bully. We also have an adoption event the second Saturday of every month at Vet4HealthyPet in Orange. This is a chance for approved homes to meet multiple bulldogs at once.
