From LoveToKnow Dogs
Are you looking for a list of English Bulldog rescue groups? There are a number of these rescue groups in the USA.
Bulldog as Companion Dogs
The English Bulldog is a recognized American Kennel Club (AKC) breed under the name Bulldog. This medium-sized breed makes a loyal, gentle and affectionate companion dog. They make wonderful family pets because they get along well with children and other pets.
Despite the breed's fighting dog origins, Bulldogs have been bred as companion dogs for more than a century. They are friendly, easy-going and protective, but they do not have a guard dog nature. However, they will alert their owners of visitors or any unusual activity.
Bulldogs can adapt to either apartment or house environments. Since they do not require much daily activity, a daily walk is sufficient exercise.
About Adopting a Rescue Bulldog
Many Bulldogs end up in rescues because a dog owner did not understand the commitment of Bulldog ownership. The Bulldog loves his human family and needs a lot of attention. His need for attention and his stubborn streak give him a child-like quality. Some dogs of this breed are resistant to training, and their previous owners did not know how to train them.
Other reasons a Bulldog may end up in rescue include the death of the previous owner or expensive veterinary bills because of a chronic health condition.
No matter why these dogs end up in rescue, each one can thrive in the right home. It just takes the right dog owner.
