About Us

Southern California Bulldog Rescue provides shelter, re-homing assistance, and funds for medical treatment for over 100 bulldogs each year. These dogs come to us from animal shelters, other rescue groups, and owners who wish to surrender their purebred bulldogs. We help bulldogs in the Southern California area find suitable homes. Our network consists of many volunteers who foster, do home checks, transport, and place bulldogs who come into our program. Over 400 bulldogs have been placed through rescue in Southern California during the last 5 years. We rely entirely on donations for support.

Our Mission

The mission of Southern California Bulldog Rescue is to rehabilitate and find loving families for homeless bulldogs. Our goal is to provide the care and time needed to prepare unwanted bulldogs for placement. We pledge to do our best to make sure they have a good life.

Our Goals

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

Tug

Tug is a gentle, tiny soul, weighing in at 34 lbs., who wants nothing more than to be with someone. He doesn’t like to be left alone, but is perfectly content when with a human or another dog. Tug was picked up by SCBR from the shelter with a terrible case of demodex and clearly underweight. (Read More)

"After the unexpected loss of our yellow lab, we decided that our home needed another dog. While browsing through MANY internet sites, we spotted Sugar. We NEVER envisioned getting a Bulldog. However, Sugar’s story (along with the video of her playing ball, online) was heart-wrenching. Sugar made an immediate impression on our family. After playing with Sugar for a while, there was NO QUESTION she would be coming home with us!! This proved to be one of the best decision ever !! Sugar has adapted wonderfully to our home and family. She receives true ‘Princess’ treatment. The blessing of working with the Southern California Bulldog Rescue has proven to be a WONDERFUL experience. All these wonderful dogs want is a happy home and someone to love them. SUGAR FOUND BOTH & EVERYONE IS VERY HAPPY."
