What is the Bulldog Club of Utah's adoption process?
The first step is to fill out an application for the dog you are interseted in on our
Adopt page. We will contact you if  you are a potential match for the dog . We look through the applications regularly and may contact you when we have a dog that may be a match for your family. If you are still interested in meeting a dog we feel is a fit, we will set up a meet and greet with your family members and the other dogs in the home. If it’s still a good fit, we often do a home visit before placement in order to make sure the home meets the needs of our dogs.  You may be subject to either a home visit depending on your location or a zoom meeting.
Many of our dogs have behavioral issues that may not allow them to be placed with younger children, other dogs, or cats.​​


Do you have any puppies?
We very rarely get puppies into our rescue. If we do, they typically have serious medical conditions. The average age of our bulldogs is between 5-7 years old. If looking to add a puppy to your family, visit Bulldog Club of America to find an ethical breeder in your area. Ethical breeders will never sell their puppies online, such as on KSL, Craigslist, or Facebook. Many dogs purchased from online sellers have health issues and the sellers often will not take the dog back in the event it does not work out.



Adoption fee?
Fees are depending on age and health status of the dog. The fee includes spay/neuter, vaccinations (Bordatella, DHPP, and Rabies), as well as a microchip. Most of our bulldogs have also had extensive medical issues resolved while in the care of our rescue, such as dental work, surgeries, and frequent medications. We are a 501c3 non-profit agency that runs exclusively on donations. All adoption fees help us care for current and future bulldogs in the rescue.
