Basics for Adoption with Bulldog Rescue
Please take in account that sudden 'changes in your mind' only takes away from otherwise productive volunteer time. None of the volunteers get compensated for placement of the bulldogs or caring for the dogs.
As you prepare your application, keep in mind that volunteers donate time, space and transportation to the dogs in their care. In light of this, it may take a couple days to respond to emails and follow up on home visits.
Take a few moments to understand and accept the general premise of rescue.
1. It is all volunteer based, that means no one is employed or compensated. Please be understanding and respectful of the volunteer's time. Volunteers are happy to help and explain the process, but please keep in touch with us of you are no longer interested or have changed your mind.
2. Rescue dogs are not perfect and many will have issues not in their favor. This can be age, vision problems, limps when they walk, training issues, skin issues and other concerns. None of these can't be managed or greatly improved with proper care, but it takes someone committed to do this with a rescue dog. . It is not uncommon for a dog to need eye drops or a pill a day as part of their care.
3. Adoptive homes are expected to share in the care of the rescue dog, this is done though the adoptive donation that helps defray expenses for the care of bulldogs and the adoptive home assuming the on going care for the dog.
4. Rescue is not a 'cheap way' or inexpensive alternative to getting a bulldog. Rescue is saving an otherwise unwanted bulldog from what could be sad ending. Since there is a donation made towards the program, the dogs are "not free" and given the nature of rescue, many of the dogs are never perfect.
