L.S.B.R. Goals:
To accept Bulldogs whose owners can no longer keep them
To retrieve Bulldogs from shelters or any other source so they may live to see another day
To find responsible, stable, loving new homes for all rescued Bulldogs
To only place Bulldogs that have been 100% neutered or spayed, to help reduce the population of unwanted pets, by having the necessary surgical procedures performed before placement
To rehabilitate Bulldogs before placement by providing necessary medical treatment and training to increase the chances of successful placement
To place Bulldogs in suitable homes as soon as reasonably possible, so they can start their "new lives" quickly
To thoroughly screen applicants before making placement decisions
To inform prospective adopters about the rescue program and the requirements for taking care of Bulldogs

Bulldog Spotlight:
Boo
Update on Boo – 6-26-10
Boo is looking so much better, he has gained a little weight and is going to the vet for his 3rd 'dip' treatment for the mange. Boo will be evaluated to see if he is ready for his next heartworm treatment, if he is he will have to stay at the vet’s office for a week for them to monitor him. While Boo looks so much better his skin is still very red and raw looking. He rubs his face all over everything; we know his skin is still itchy. He has no hair on the back of his legs, tail, and rear and we don't know if that will ever grow back as it looks like it is from sitting a lot. We wonder if he was kept in a kennel outside that was too small for him to really lay down and with a concrete bottom. Boo is energetic, minds pretty good, LOVES to be petted, has more energy than he should for still being sick, he is quite the athletic guy as he loves to jump into a lawn chair or if he smells food in the back of my SUV he jumps right in the back as if it were no problem for him. We love his adorable face with that huge tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. He has a sweet personality. Boo still has a long way to go but he has really made great progress.
A big thank you to everyone that has donated for Boo’s care. At last count his bill was over $1200 and he still has a lot more treatments to go, so any donation large or small will really help!

Surrendering Your Pet:
Before you surrender your bulldog, have you considered these options?
Contact a dog trainer, there are many things that can be resolved by just a lesson or two from a good trainer. If you need a recommendation for trainers in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, we will be happy to assist you.
If your dog is barking, biting or acting in an unusual manner, he/she may have an undiagnosed medical condition. Have your dog checked by a good Bulldog Vet, we have references for veterinarians that have extension knowledge of bulldogs.
If you feel that you still must give up your dog, we would prefer that you have him/her up to date on shots, spayed/neutered and on heart worm preventive. This helps us defray the costs of taking your dog into our program. If you are unable to do these things, please contact us and we will work out some arrangements.
We can only take "English Bulldogs", absolutely no other types, i.e. American Bulldogs, Pitbulls, etc. Use this link to help you determine if your dog is actually an "English" Bulldog.
