Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: KC English Bulldog Rescue is a 501 (c) 3 organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes English Bulldogs and French Bulldogs who have been surrendered by their owners, are in animal shelters or have otherwise found themselves homeless and in need. Our goal is to find permanent loving homes for these Bulldogs, as well as educate the public about this wonderful breed.
Results: Measurable progress can be tracked by the number of successful placements of adoptable dogs into permanent and loving homes. In August 2014 KC English Bulldog Rescue officially took in their first foster dogs. With only 4 months of the year remaining the rescue took in 10 dogs. In 2015 we took in 23 bulldogs; 2016 35 ,2017 46 and 2018 80. Progress moving forward would be to continue to take in, rehabilitate, and place dogs in homes at a similar rate. In 2020 and in the future KC English Bulldog Rescue hopes to participate in more educational outreach opportunities (health seminars hosted by one of our vets, meet and greets at local businesses, and perhaps participation in different "all breed" events) to help inform the public about our existence as well as educate people about the needs and requirements for this wonderful breed.

Programs: KC English Bulldog Rescue is a charitable organization relying upon public fundraising to obtain funds to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home English bulldogs and French Bulldogs. These activities are to facilitate the Veterinary care needed including spay and neuter and other medical care for these dogs. We maintain these dogs in foster homes during their evaluation and pre and post surgical care whenever possible. We will accept dogs from owner surrenders, Animal Shelters, Animal Control Facilities, Veterinary referrals and abuse and cruelty cases. We are here to help any Bulldog in need of care and support. We then identify appropriate homes for these dogs, and monitor and support them in their new homes until end of life.
