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 **

Ms Vincent had been bred a lot and was stepping all over her momma parts. She's in better shape than we expected, although she needs to lose some weight, and she may have some airway issues. Her ears are gone for some reason. One of the photos is from before that, but the poor girl will have to live with this going forward. She isn’t quite housebroken yet, but she’s learning - mill girls often take time due to the conditions they were living under.

That said, she’s a happy, silly girl! You’d think that she would want nothing to do with people, and yet she actually seems to like them. So far she seems to be OK with the other dogs, but as with many mill girls, she really doesn't know how to be a dog yet.

Her adoption fee is $500 (her care will cost more than that, she may need a dental as well as her upcoming spay.)

Ms. Vincent - 5-6 years old

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

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

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

This pretty girl is Agnes. She came from a breeder situation along with Polly Pocket and Ms Vincent, and they've had a rough time but those days are behind them. When she got here, she had internal and external parasites. She is in decent health all things considered, although she may have some airway trouble. At first she was terrified of anything new, but now she’s quite the happy girl. Not quite housebroken yet, since mill girls often need more time in that department, but she’s learning. So far she seems pretty good with dogs.

Her adoption fee is $500. She needs a patient person to help her navigate her new life, but she deserves a great home.
