T​​​hank 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 **

Meet Sky! She’s about 2 years old , 50-55 lbs , and long legged. She saw the vet the other day and all is good. She is spayed, vaccinated and micro chipped! She was adopted thru another rescue and the other dog just wasn’t feeling it. She did not retaliate. We find her to be a good girl and hope to find her great human(s). She gets along with other dog, likes people and “she can do stuff”  Her adoption fee is $450

Sky - approximately 2 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.

Gimli - 5 Years Old


Meet our boy Gimli, a 5 year old 75 pound bulldog who has that adorable bulldog personality... kinda' goofy and so very sweet. He’s neutered and up to date on all vaccines. And… just look at this dapper dude!

Gimli loves stuffed toys and attention. He enjoys adventures and rides well in the car.  His favorite outing is a trip to Home Depot as there are so many new friends to meet there. 

While Gimli loves people, he is not a fan of other dogs so he'll have to be an only dog, and homes with children are not recommended. If you're interested in this cool dude, fill out an application and we'll see if we think he's be a good fit.

Meet Panda! Panda is around 2 years old. We have some incomplete vet records on her, so about all we know is that she is vaccinated. Not sure if she’s spayed, but if she’s not, she will be. She’s a cute and playful girl and we’re still getting to know her. We’re not sure yet about other dogs, cats etc but we’re working on learning that. She’s not quite available just yet due to needing a vet check and figuring out the spay issue, but you can still put in an application if you’re interested in her.

Panda - Approx 2 Years Old

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

Rosie, a full-figured girl, came to us when her owners decided it would be best to just have one dog. The two dogs were not getting along, but the other girl was much older, so Rosie got a new lease on life. Despite reports of her being the aggressor, it appears to not be the case: Rosie gets along with the boys (she's particularly partial to our foster Robbie), goes out with some of the girls, and is currently employed teaching one of the recent arrivals the finer points of house-training. Rosie is somewhere between 5&7 years old, healthy, spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccinations. Since her arrival and now having managed feedings, she has become her sleek and racy self. Presently, she is on weight management food, which works well for her, since she is very fond of treats and snacks! She loves a walk, but it goes better in a calm, maybe one other dog setting - she likes to be the leader, and can pull and get overheated. She's getting the hang of toys. Rosie did have kids of her own growing up, but she would probably do best with older -11 years old or so - kids. Rosie is Bulldog stubborn and opinionated, so it is best to set some ground rules from the start....mostly that Rosie isn't in charge of everyone and everything. While at the foster home, she has been fine with the cat, but owner discretion is always advised. If you would like to meet Rosie, and give her a fabulous new home and life, please fill out the application. Her adoption fee is $400.

Rosie - Approx 5-7 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

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.

Big Mac - 4 Years Old

We’ve got a Big Mac in the house! Big Mac is an American Bully…about 4 years old.  This really good boy has been moved around a bit in his short life, but seems to be taking it all in stride. He seems to be good with kids, dogs and will leave the chickens alone. We do not yet know how he is with cats. At 66 lbs., it wouldn’t hurt for Big Mac to skip the fries for a bit. He seems to enjoy a walk and is a really good sport about snow. He’s current on all vaccinations. He will see the vet this week to be checked out, and scheduled for neuter surgery. His adoption fee is $500. For more information, or to meet Big Mac, please fill out an application. Thanks! 

Gunny - Approximately 2 Years Old

Gunny had been in his previous home for about 2 months, since the family's neighbors could no longer keep him.. And then, things changed, like they do, and Gunny had to find another place to be.....the boy is nothing if not adjustable! He is a happy and healthy approximately 2 year old boy, who seems great with other dogs, small children, and really thinks it is wonderful if your neighbor has a goat for him to stare at.... He doesn't really seem to understand the point of an official toy, but he is not opposed to chewing the odd leash left thoughtlessly hanging within reach so he’ll have to be watched. He gets the concept of  house-training, but he does need someone to let him know that outside is best for that activity - we’re thinking this might be a bit of leftover marking behavior.  Certainly not a reason to pass on this very fine, very happy and easy going boy.  He pulls a bit on his leash at first, but once he gets into the groove of his walk, he is very polite. Gunny is neutered, microchipped  and up to date on his vaccinations. Adoption fee is $500.
