DFW Bulldog Rescue
DFW Bulldog Rescue| We are a part of the Lone Star Bulldog Club, we are a licensed, AKC sanctioned club that conducts Bulldog shows in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Lone Star Bulldog Club is also the local chapter of the parent club, Bulldog Club of America. Please visit the Lone Star Bulldog Club at www.lonestarbulldogs.com and the Bulldog Club of America at www.thebca.org . |
| Where do we get the funding? Lone Star Bulldog Rescue (LSBR) is mainly self funded, but accepts help from Lone Star Bulldog Club, and several individual volunteers & donors. |
| What do we do? Here at Lone Star Bulldog Rescue we accept Bulldogs whose owners can no longer keep them, and retrieve Bulldogs from shelters and undesirable situations. We then rehabilitate them before placement by providing necessary medical treatment, as well as spaying and neutering all dogs that come into our care.At this point we thoroughly screen applicants before making placement decisions, as well as informing interested adopters about rescue and our requirements. Then we place Bulldogs in suitable homes as soon as reasonably possible, so they can start their "new lives" quickly.While these Bulldogs are waiting for their new homes they are fostered in the home of someone in our rescue. |
| Where are we? We are a local rescue that operates within the DFW area, although we are constantly coordinating with other individuals and groups throughout the state. |
| How long will it take me to adopt a Bulldog? The wait for a rescue Bulldogs can vary. Dogs are placed according to the type of home best suited to their needs. A majority of our rescues have social, emotional, behavioral and health issues. If you are not able or willing to deal with a not-so-perfect bully, your wait may be a long one. |

| What kind of health problems do Bulldogs have? Bulldogs have numerous known genetic defects and are subject to various illnesses that affect many breeds. Common Bulldog health problems you may encounter include: elongated soft palate, small trachea, allergies, dermatitis, demodetic mange, eye lid anomalies, hip dysplasia and heart problems. Some of them have a tendency toward self-mutilation (especially if they have itchy skin), so owners should watch carefully for signs of skin irritation and scratching. If you are adopting an older dog, many of these conditions will already have been identified. Twenty-four hour care by a qualified veterinarian must be available. Since not all veterinarians are knowledgeable about the health problems Bulldogs may have, you should consult experienced Bulldog owners or the rescue to find a capable veterinarian. Any veterinarian who will be doing surgery on your Bulldog should have previous experience with putting Bulldogs under anesthesia. |
