The "Adopted English Bulldog" Photo Contest

[bullmama]

We are going to do a special holiday contest specifically for Adopted Bulldogs.

As many of you know, we wish to continue to spread Rescue Awareness within our "Available English Bulldogs For Adoption" area of the website. We would like to create a banner that will display on all of the forum pages, and of course we have the "Adopt a Bulldog" paragraph on all of our site pages as well.


When we see a photo of an English Bulldog with their new family, we see and feel a working miracle, and such joy that brings to the face of the family with their new bulldog is indescribable. We would like people to view this joy when they come to our website, and continue to spread rescue awareness with such images.

So we would love to place your photos in areas all over the website, on different pages of the site. With approximately 40 pages on our site, your photo will likely show up on one of them in this campaign. We want the campaign and photos to be real, unlike how many retailers use models and model dogs to promote false advertising. We want to show the truth!

To clarify what we are looking for, the photo should be of you, your family and your adopted bulldog, preferably on or close to the day you adopted them.

Entries will be accepted until December 1st. Voting will be done for one week, winner and runner up will be announced on the 10th of December.

The WINNER of this contest will receive:

• Photo on the Home Page in the "Adopt A Bulldog Banner"
• Photo on the Forum Page "Available English Bulldogs For Adoption" Banner
• $100 donation to the NON-Profit English Bulldog Rescue of their choice
• $25 Gift to redeem at Lou's Doggie Boutique online store
• Tuffy Toy Tiger Print Octopus (Tuff Scale 10) from Carolina Pet Pantry
• $25 Gift to redeem at London Canine Couture's online store
• An English Bulldog News T-Shirt

Runner-Up will receive:

• Photo on our Rescue Organizations Page on the Adopt A Bulldog Banner
• Photo on the "Available English Bulldogs For Adoption" Banner in the forums
• SPA Fresh Facial Scrub from Carolina Pet Pantry
• $10 Gift to redeem with Lou's Doggie Boutique's online store
• $10 Gift to redeem with London Canine Couture's online store
• 1000 Bully Bucks to Spend in the Bully Market

Please include your bulldog's name, date of adoption, and rescue organization you adopted from (if applicable). Please also include the name of which English Bulldog Rescue Organization you wish the $100 winning prize to go to.

I love!!!!!!! this idea! Will be awesome to see all the rescued babies!

[tracyw]

What a wonderful idea!
Here is a picture of our marvelous rescue, Snickers. Snickers was adopted from Chicago English Bulldog Rescue on June 23, 2008. She had been a puppy mill breeding mama for the first 3 years of her precious life. When we adopted her, she had only been out of the puppy mill for one month and had given birth right before she was rescued. Adding Snickers to our family has enriched our understanding of love and compassion and has fueled our passion for rescue. If Snickers wins this contest, please donate thee $100 to Chicago English Bulldog Rescue. Thank you!

Even tho Norman is an English Bulldog, we adopted him through CHicago French Bulldog Rescue. He was found on Craigslist. His original owner couldn't handle his "affection". Although at first they would laugh and they never stopped him from showing his affection. We adopted him on August 10th, 2010.

If Normie wins the 100 bucks, please donate it to Chicago French Bulldog Rescue.

Here he is with my son and his best friend:

Tulip came to our house for foster on June 27, 2010. We made her a permanent part of our family on October 16, 2010. These 2 photos include myself, my husband, Tulip and her new sister Lily. The photos were taken just after we signed our adoption contract! We couldn't be happier with this addition to our family!!!! If Tulip wins, please make the donation to Florida English Bulldog Rescue.

Hello! We adopted my sweet boy Butler on June 28th, 2010. He spent 3 months in a wonderful foster home after being found as a stray, and my hubby and I were so so so lucky that someone else didn't adopt him first. He came to us with valley fever and was really sick the first couple months, but with lots of diflucan, pain management, and probably 200 thousand kisses, he is as good as new! He loves to watch football with his dad in their jerseys, but he is still a mama's boy for sure

If he gets chosen we want to support loveabull rescue! they neutered him, fixed his cherry eye, started him on valley fever meds, and gave him a great temporary home until he came to live in his forever home.
