~Meet Champ~

Champ is an adorable rescue bullie who was rescued in Florida. He now spends his days with his mom and talking with his friends on facebook. He is an adorable bulldog who makes us smile everyday with his blurbs. He also founded the group "Bullies Against Bullying", a campaign to fight off bullying in schools and over the internet. Champ would very much like to tell you his story!

Hi I'm Champ! My mom calls me Champsky. I wuz pulled frum a local high-kill shelter. I wuz found wanderin' da streets wif severe puncture wounds through my neck, lacerations covering my thin lil body, and all four of my canine teeth had been filed down. Dey later found i had BB pellets in my tummy. Everybudy finks dat i had been used as bait for dog fighting. My foster mommie flushed my wounds out twice a day and fed me lots of good quality food. i had several ups and downs throughout my recovery including surgery to repair my spleen and a battle wif da tick disease ehrlichia, but i am finally happy and healthy now! During my recovery my foster mommie asked me if i wunted to stay wif her furever. She'z da Vice President of Adopt-A-Bull Rescue so i get to have lots of foster brudders and sissers now and i go to lots of rescue events to promote responsible pet ownership. i have achieved my AKC Canine Good Citizenship, i'z a registered therapy dog, and a member of Dog Scouts of America! i am so grateful for a second chance in life! i'z makin up for missed time now! i hope everybully finds a local shelter or rescue to help out; whether it be wif a donation, volunteering, or fostering. not all bullies are as fortunate as da ones we call our own.

Peace, lub, and rescue.
-Champ

I have always been an advocate for animals. I have volunteered time and donated money, but Champ and Neely were my inspiration to really get involved in bulldog rescue. Champ's story makes me sad, happy, and hopefull all at the same time.

@TessaAndSamson I'm the same .. I've read Champs story SO many times ... but those photos get me every time. Those eyes just tell a thousand stories and they are all such bad ones.

Most humans, if they had been put through the same kind of emotional and physical torture that Champ and a lot of bullies have been through would either be in counselling for the rest of their life or be "damaged goods". The fact that these bullies recover and learn to love, live and forgive can only show that we have something to learn from them.
