Adopt

Thank you for considering rescue!

We appreciate your interest in adopting a bulldog. Please check this page for our current adoptable bulldogs, as well as dogs who may be on medical hold and not yet available for adoption.

The the average age of our bulldogs is between 5-7 years old. Many of our rescues may have some kind of behavioral issue or medical issue. Many cannot be placed with small children.

We do place outside of Utah, however, we do not transport any of our bullies and all adopters must come to us. The average time for placement can be anywhere from a few days to six months, depending on availability and fit. The more restrictions in place for a dog (young age, must be good with children, dogs, cats, etc.) the longer the wait will be.

"The Bulldog Club of Utah's Rescue Committee rescues lost, abandoned, and unwanted English Bulldogs and places all adoptable Bulldogs in new homes."

Some of our Bulldog fees may be listed as "negotiable" This will usually apply to Senior Bulldogs. Regular adoption fees start around $500.

Currently, the average veterinary expense on a single dog intake starts at $500 and can go over $1500. Please know that our primary goal is to place all adoptable Bulldogs in new loving homes, but fees and donations are what makes supporting them possible.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and Best Friends No Kill Utah (NKUT) Coalition member.

If you have any questions, please call Susan at 801-750-0587 or send us an email. We thank you for considering adding a rescue bulldog to your family!

Robbie - approx. 6 Years Old

Maybelline - 10 years old

As I was motor vatin' over the hill / I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville.

This sweet girl is as classic as the song. She's a lady of a certain age (10) and she knows what she wants. She's looking for a home where she can be the classic apple of your eye as the only pet. She also needs a kid-free home. Hey, she's vintage, what can she say! She will let ya call her Mabel.

Her adoption fee is negotiable.

**Cadillac Coupe de VIlle NOT INCLUDED **

Gus will be 8 in November. He’s a really good sport about a walk in the woods; he might enjoy things more if he dropped a bit of weight due to his old joints, and would probably appreciate a joint supplement or an anti inflammatory. He was surrendered because his owner for the last year was getting divorced and couldn’t afford his dry-eye medication. He seems to have been bounced around quite a bit, and his eyes have paid the price - vision is a bit iffy, but he navigates quite well, not very acquainted w/stairs, but getting the hang of them. Owner had him on a beef food - owner before that claimed he was allergic to chicken. Like many bulldogs, his ears need some attention.

Gus

Meet Robbie! Robbie is one of two who got bailed out of a California jail along with Dougie. He’s thought to be about 6 years old, but this poor fella has a LOT of miles on his odometer, but as he's healed up, that odometer has rolled back a bit. He’s had some pretty good dental work and a tail amputation. He was adopted from a LA shelter, and was returned a few months later when the owner couldn’t afford his vet care. While in the shelter he got an upper respiratory infection and then apparently got bitten by another dog. Robbie was on the euthanasia list at the shelter when a Good Samaritan swooped in and got him out of there, but soon realized they weren’t going to be able to provide him the care he needed (but they saved him from being put down.) He has a history of not doing well with other dogs, although he's gotten better about that since he's healed up, so that would be something to discuss with the director. He’s not a huge fan of children. All that said, he really seems to be a nice guy.

Dougie - approx. 5 years old

Here's Dougie! If we told you he got by on his good looks you'd have to definitely believe that! The LA shelter thinks he's about 5. Just feast your eyes on this handsome wigglebutt! Dougie does not have much of an attention span, but he's a happy boy who can use some training.

Newman - approx 2 years old

Here’s our new man - Newman! He came into the shelter as a stray and was on a deadline if he didn’t get out. We’re still getting to know him, and the shelter who sent him to us says he’s 2 or so years old. He is a sweetheart that loves people and doesn't seem to mind cats but is not a fan of other dogs. He is incredibly food motivated and will do anything for a treat. He appears house-trained and he can be a wiggly little dude. He is fully vaccinated, he did try to nip when given a rabies vaccine, so his new home will have to have some patience with him. (Deaf dogs often need to learn how to navigate the world around them, and their owners also need to learn how to work with them. When a dog can’t hear, they can get uneasy about things and they can be reactive. Once they feel more confident in getting around in life without being able to hear, they do much better. Visual communications such as hand signals are important to establish.) Adoption fee is $500.

Forman

We call him Forman, but you can call him whatever you want… just not late for dinner!Forman was 1 of 4 dogs found wandering outside of Greeley, CO. All 4 were horribly dirty, smelly, crusty, just in rough shape! Yet, not one of the dogs bears any ill will toward a human. All are very sweet, but mostly have almost no social skills- they need house-training, they need to get used to things like baths, toenail trimming, etc. We think Forman was used for breeding, since any time you put a lead on him, he’s ready for action and looking for a date to the prom! His next big adventure is being neutered! His adoption fee is $500

Darla was rescued by a pair of Good Samaritans on Christmas Eve. She and another dog were kept outside, unsheltered in fairly awful conditions. Unfortunately, the rescuer already had 2 dogs who didn’t care much for the Christmas surprise & in the interest of Peace on Earth, Good Will to Newfies, they made the hard decision to send her to Bulldog Club of Utah Rescue. Darla, who is a large, oversized girl in the first place, could stand to lose a few pounds. She is happy, wiggly, thinks a walk in the woods is just THE BEST! She will be spayed soon. Her adoption fee is $500.

Darla

Gremlin - approximately 4 years old

EZIO "Ezy" is a 6 1/2 year old bundle of fun and energy! He loves, Loves, LOVES! his walks. He also really loves it when visitors come to see him, sometimes a bit too much! Ezy, as he is known, knows some basic commands--sit, stay, down, drop it, leave it, and everyone's favorite, High 5! He is house-trained, crate-trained and has used a dog door. Ezy finds that small children are a bit too stimulating for him, but could likely do well with older, maybe teenage kids. A calm, laid-back home, with an abundance of patience,(and no doorbell) and time, would be the ideal home for him. Cats look really interesting to him, but he has not really been around them much. He has been around quite a number of dogs during his stay at Rescue, and has gotten along well with them: doesn't really interact with them, but they aren't a problem for him. Lately, he is loving laps around the yard, with Buns, and seeing who can get to the door first! Ezy is current on his vaccinations, healthy and microchipped. His adoption fee is $500.

Ezio - 6-1/2 Years Old

GREMLIN comes to BCUR as an unclaimed stray from Salt Lake County Animal Services. We think he is about 4 years old. He weighs 53 pounds currently. He’s been described as “endearing, in a way that makes your drink come out of your nose.” He does seem to get along with other dogs in his foster home. He is mobility challenged and just the one step to go in and outside is very difficult. He is showing some improvement with time and exercise, but no stairs may be best. He may also need his soft palate shortened and the saccules in his airway fixed. Soft palate and saccule surgery for bulldogs addresses breathing difficulties caused by the anatomical structure of their airways. Bulldogs often have elongated soft palates and enlarged saccules that can obstruct airflow. This surgery shortens the soft palate and removes the saccules, helping improve airflow and reduce respiratory issues. It can lead to better overall health, increased energy, and a more comfortable life for these beloved pets.His adoption fee is $300.

Zuri is a 7-ish year old girl that lost her happy home due to a change in living conditions. Prior to that, she had been an ESA (when you think about it, all dogs are emotional support animals...aren't they?), and before that bounced around for several years. She gets along with all of the other dogs, and is fine about the cats. Zuri has a ton of energy and thinks that a walk or outing is just THE BEST! Zuri does suffer from dry eye, and does have some corneal scarring, which affects her vision a bit. She is currently on a prescription medication, and that does seem to help her be more comfortable. She will need that medication, or lubricating eye drops for the rest of her life. She does suffer a bit from ear infections, but they are definitely manageable, and to top it all off, she does still have a bit of itchy skin. Cytopoint and medicated baths have done wonders for her. A little effort is a small price to pay for such a sweet, fun girl! She's a bit leggier than most Bulldogs (yeah, she's probably a mix…) but she can go running, hiking... whatever you have in mind, she's up for it! She is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative and microchipped. In spite of all of her problems, she is a happy, fun, spunky girl that is desperately seeking the right person and her Last. New. Home. Her adoption fee is $400.00

Zuri - Approx 7 Years Old

Calamity comes to us from Colorado. She's 4 years old and has already had 3 litters of puppies, but when the original owners found out she couldn't be bred again, they sent her away. This cutie is still learning to be a dog, having spent a lot of time kenneled with another breeding female. A rescuer found her, took her in, got her vaccines up to date and also got her spayed. Calamity is a people person who loves children. She wants to greet everyone she meets, and the rescuer liked to call her "Princess Wiggle Butt." She has been good with most dogs with one notable exception - she HATES male English bulldogs. She's not much of a barker. Toys? She seems to have no interest in them, but hopefully that will change. She also hasn't been able to get accustomed to beds and couches, and may not even know how to jump. She is housebroken, but has trouble holding it all night - however, she has learned to use pee pads if needed.

Breeder girls often need time to adjust to their new life, because they didn't have much if any freedom before and don't know what they can do. She's a sweet and loving girl who will need a home where they can teach her how to be a dog, and introduce her to the little luxuries in life like sitting on the couch binge watching shows with her person. Her adoption fee is $500.

Calamity - 4 years old

Tank - 5 Years Old

Tank is five years old, and he is a fine, healthy, happy boy! He has dealt with urinary blockages twice now, and so Tank will need to be on prescription food for his urinary issues, and it does cost quite a bit (although it’s cheaper than him getting stones again.) He is incredibly easy to have around, and he is really deserving of someone who will give him the time and attention that he craves, and deserves. He gets along with all the other dogs, male and female, doesn't seem bothered by cats, or New Year's Eve fireworks. All he wants is someone that doesn't think he is disposable, when he has some problems, or not worth the sacrifice to afford the food that will keep him happy and healthy. And someone to take him for a walk--because it is fun! And to give him a nylabone to chew, or let him sit under the desk while his person is working, or napping on the couch, in the sun. His adoption fee is $600.

Titan - 2.5 Years Old - ON HOLD

I'm a 2.5-year-old neutered male bulldog. When I first arrived at my foster family's house, I was extremely nervous and so scared! I have been moved around more than any dog should be. I have been hurt and I am learning to trust people again. I have also been working on my manners and my obedience skills. I still have some work to do, so I hope that you'll have patience with me as I'm learning what is expected of me. I'm very food motivated and will do pretty much anything for a treat. Giving me treats during training really helps me learn faster too. I am 100% potty trained IF you take me out at least 2-3 times a day. I thrive with boundaries and routine. I can be as active as YOU want me to be. I love going on long walks and love to do zoomies in fresh snow. I'm perfectly fine being a couch potato too! My foster family believes that the best fit for me would be a single woman household. I'm very protective of and just LOVE women. I'll be your built-in security guard because I have a very intimidating bark. I will need you to have a firm presence, but gently guide me. I would also be comfortable with a couple's household. It does take me sometime to warm up to men because they have hurt me in the past so you must be patient. I'm not too fond of children so a home without children is best. I would do best as the only pet in the house. We don't know my history with cats.

Captain was picked up as a stray, but was not claimed He’s been neutered, is up to date on vaccinations, and is microchipped. We’re not positive of his exact age but he’s 5-6 years old. He seems to get along with other dogs - but he doesn’t really like his space violated, so we’re not quite sure if he should be an only dog. He’s a pretty happy, agreeable little guy- about 40 lbs. The people at his last stop says he thinks kids are pretty wonderful. The boy does have some arthritis, which is managed. His adoption fee is $300.
