I have had a varitey of dogs in my life and English Bulldogs are the best! It just breaks my heart that so many fall into the hands of people who abuse and neglect them.

Here is the link to the adoptees. I have heard through the grapevine that they are adopting to experianced bully breed owners. I have my hopes I opened their eyes a little on the letter I sent them.

If anyone in the area is interested, seriously, please contact them.

Abused English bulldogs now up for adoption in Jacksonville | jacksonville.com

Here is a clip from the local news station:
13 Bulldogs Rescued From Vet's Home - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Here is the updated story of the 13 English bulldogs confiscated here in Jacksonville, Florida:
Rescued Bulldogs Available For Adoption - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

As of 30 minutes before posting this, I have submitted an application and a letter to adopt 2 of these bullies. I could not think of a better way to honor my beloved Winston. Wish me luck :-)

I've only had 6 weeks or so of Bulldog experience. But I have decades of general dog experience. Is that enough to qualify me?

But then, I'm having such an amazingly awesome time with Bullie that I might be getting ahead of myself and thinking another adoption is going to be as awesome... I might not be ready for 2 bulldozers... I don't know. My husband is really wanting to try out for one... so confusing...

My husband is really wanting to apply but our bank account can't take a $3,000 hit right now... and, from the way these dogs were treated, it might come up to more than that. We might not be able to do "right" by these dogs.

OMG! That is great. I hope you get TWO of them! They may want to keep them together...I hope so anyway.

If we were still in FL, I could probably talk my hubby into putting an app in for one but we don't.....My mom has left FL too or she would be on it as well.

Heh Mike I am so happy that your application has been accepted, I just know that you will be the perfect bully Dad I bet you are walking on cloud nine. Good luck when will you be able to pick your new baby up if you get one? Are you going to keep its name if they know it or are you going to change it? My offer still stand either way.
