My Nonprofit Reviews

My wife, Marilyn and I had wanted to get another dog for years, since we lost our precious Chinese Shar-Pei in the early 2000's. Both of us worked long hours and felt we needed to wait until one/both of us retired before doing so. We followed a number of rescue sites on Facebook and had decided that our next dog would be a rescue. Our daughter and her husband had an English Bulldog and we fell in love with that breed. I retired on February 3, 2014 and we went to the AKC International dog show shortly after.

We weren't aware of adoptaBull English Bulldog Rescue until we saw them at the dog show. We were highly impressed by the adoptaBull volunteers we met that day, not to mention the dogs in their booth. The volunteers (especially Donna) were extremely personable and knowledgeable of the adoption process, the dogs available for adoption, and the type of home each individual bully needed. I was even more impressed when we returned to their booth as we were leaving, and Donna remembered us and commented on our interest. When we got home, we checked adoptaBull's website and after reading their mission and values statements there was no doubt what organization we wanted to adopt from. We knew we wanted to become part of the adoptaBull family. We completed the application, went through a very carefully structured telephone interview, and then a home visit by Donna and Sue. They carefully matched us with a beautiful sweet female English who has become a loving member of our family.

Becoming a part of the adoptaBull family is really an understatement. I can't begin to describe the sense of belonging we feel with adoptaBull. They are always eager to answer questions, provide support, or just share experiences. They sincerely care about the dogs and the families who adopt them. They are truly an organization with a big heart. I most highly recommend them.
